"Jim for Donhohues Lightning Rods installed the lightning rod system in my home. When the work was done I was very happy as their installer came as per promised time, and perform the work. Before giving them the work Jim completely sold me their work ethics, quality, and service. There was a minor issue and his team took complete ownership of this issue and talked to me in detail. They provide a very good explanation to satisfy me. I am a happy customer."

"Nothing is wrong with our standby generator right now but we were being proactive and looking for a company for emergency service calls and to perform the annual maintenance. Although they have not actually performed any work for us yet, their rates were very reasonable and more competitive than others we talked to and we have scheduled Faith Electric to perform our annual maintenance in March 2018."

"Very prompt professional and knowledgeable about his trade family business where he and his son are on job site at all times and installed a concealed system where all the cables where hidden in the attic and from what I ve seen it was done even neater up there than most of the exterior work I ve seen everything was tight straight and uniform and when the job was completed made sure all of my questions were answered and went over every detail about the service they provided have done several other jobs in the area and I m quite sure with they re work ethics and working around my schedule they ll be doing several more would highly recommend to anyone that needs lightning protection installed unless your looking for them you are hard pressed to even notice the lightning rods are on there all you can see are the 3/8 in diameter copper air terminals protruding thru the roof 10 inches which is the minimal you can use because I didn t want them to take away from the looks of my house also instead of running a bead of sealant around the air terminals he put a flashing on every one that s made for flat roofs with ponding water and filled with a polyurethane sealant so no worry s about leaks EVER and he put it in writing if anything at all goes wrong with the system for the lifetime of the house barring any changes such as new additions or remodeling there s never a charge to repair anything they installed or if a surge protection device goes bad that is replaced for free as well thanks for the prompt professional service would recommend mike Gorman lightning protection to anyone"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

You should always turn off a breaker whenever electrical work is being done. This step can prevent electrical shock and injury. Also, if a breaker is repeatedly tripping, it can mean there is an electrical overload, and it should be shut off. You should contact an electrician to figure out the cause. Make sure to review how to turn off your circuit breaker safely if you do it yourself, and follow safety precautions to avoid severe injuries.

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

The National Electric Code states that outlets should not be spaced more than 12 feet apart, and there should be an outlet placed every 6 feet at the floor line in areas designated as living spaces. Most homes in the United States have 75 outlets, but it will depend on the amount you need based on your home's size and your needs.
