"Mr. Jim Gorman who is the owner of the business called me back within a half hour of my email posting. He visited my home 3 days later, inspected things, and told me what the approximate cost would be. He and his helper then installed an entire lightning protection system on both my house and a back garage/storage area. He did things exactly as I wanted in every way. Also threw in a free weathervane which increased the beauty of my home. I would have no objection to recommending this gentleman and his company to anyone who is in need of a competently installed lightning protection system for their home/property. MID-AMERICA LIGHTNING RODS is one fine company run by a man who cares about doing good work according to the latest safety codes etc. Having lost my previous retirement home to lightning, it was very important to me to get this job done and quickly because the thunderstorm season is upon us and with the climate change, those storms are very wicked, especially here out in the country where i live!"

"I hired W B Lighting Rods/William Burden to install lightning rods on my home. I spoke to William on a Monday and by Thursday before 1 PM the lightning rods were installed on my home. William explained everything he was going to do before he did it. The lightning rods were affordable and most of all it gives me peace of mind knowing that my home is protected against lightning strikes and fire damage. I couldnâ t be happier with this company!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Urbana, you can safely address simple electrical issues like changing light bulbs, resetting GFCI outlets, or replacing outlet covers—always after switching off the breaker and verifying with a non-contact voltage tester. Keep a flashlight and insulated gloves handy, especially during storms. If you encounter persistent flickering, burning odors, or outdated wiring, stop immediately and contact a licensed local electrician for further inspection.

Helpful?

For Urbana homeowners, create a seasonal electrical inspection routine by checking GFCI outlets and outdoor lighting each spring, monitoring circuit breakers and exterior connections in summer, and inspecting heating system wiring and weather seals in fall. In winter, look for ice damage and test emergency lighting. Test smoke detectors monthly and review your electrical bill for unusual spikes year-round. Annual professional inspections are especially important for older Urbana homes.

Helpful?

The longevity of electrical work in Urbana depends on using weather-resistant materials, managing moisture, and protecting against temperature extremes. Ensuring proper grounding and following local electrical codes are essential. Hiring experienced professionals for installation and scheduling annual inspections help prevent issues from Urbana’s frequent storms. Promptly addressing repairs and keeping detailed records of upgrades will help your home’s electrical system remain safe and reliable.

Helpful?

Urbana’s humid summers and icy winters can strain home wiring and outdoor electrical components. High summer demand may overload circuits, while winter’s freeze-thaw cycles can damage exterior outlets and fixtures. Frequent thunderstorms increase the risk of power surges and corrosion. To protect your system, schedule electrical inspections in milder seasons and prioritize surge protection and weatherproofing for outdoor wiring during Urbana’s stormier months.

Helpful?

Schedule electrical work in Urbana if you notice frequent breaker trips, warm or discolored outlets, or persistent flickering lights. Homes built before 1970 often need updated wiring or new circuit breakers. If your home still has two-prong outlets or a fuse box, it’s time to upgrade. Plan major projects in spring or fall, and consider adding surge protection or GFCI outlets to meet current safety standards.
