"Pryor Electric did extensive re-wiring work in our home from the electrical panel to the fixtures and receptacles. Over the course of the week, the team was very professional - always on time, organized and on schedule. Each day, everything was cleaned up and back in its place and someone reviewed the day's progress and the next steps. Every piece of work, large to small, is quality. From Mr. Pryor's visit for the estimate through the last double-check, they were all patient with my questions and any 'challenges' that the house may have presented. I have great peace of my mind after the work they've done. Highly, highly recommend this team!"

"John called me back within 15 minutes.  He was very helpful and said he could do it but thought it might be better for me to contact someone a little closer.  I think his schedule was pretty full although he didn't say that.  He recommended 2 companies in my area and I ended up hiring one of them to do the work.  I was very pleased with them and they were prompt just like John at Lightning Rod Systems.  I appreciate that he was thinking about what was best for me."

"I can not say enough good things about Mr. Kirby and his company. He was very thorough, efficient and professional. I recently hired him to wire my new barn for lights and power as well as some improvements to my new home. We discussed my wishes prior to starting and his knowledge was pivotal in guiding me through the planning and supply process. He knew and adhered to all the electrical codes and he knew his business and trade. He worked very hard and was there every day until the project was complete. He even found some issues regarding previous work I'd had done and helped me resolve those in addition to the project I hired him for. I highly recommend him for ANY electrical project or problem you may have. I will always call him first for any of my future electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don’t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn’t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.

In the United States, home outlets support a standard 15 amps, but you can upgrade per outlet if necessary. Most single-family residential homes have a maximum overall amp rating, usually 100 to 200 amps. Very old houses may have less than 100 amps, but that’s rare. Large homes often come with amp services above 200 amps to support modern lifestyles.

If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.

Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.

Sprinkler valves typically have 16 AWG or 18 AWG wires. AWG, or American Wire Gauge, is the standard measurement for wire gauge sizing in the U.S. The gauge is the thickness of the wire, with higher AWG numbers indicating thinner wires. You can find the gauge measurement in your sprinkler system’s user manual or on the sprinkler manufacturer’s website.
