"WB Lightning Rods did an excellent job installing lightening rods on our home. The owner stayed onsite the entire time to supervise the work. He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

"Well we were going to do a ground mount using re-purposed
metal, but there was not enough of it. So Renewable Engineered Systems designed
a system for the roof of the house. We Worked with Brian Brown who helped us
decide what to use.   The solar panel
system is very neat. Get to watch my power everyday.

"We first contacted this company, using Angie's List, and established communication 
via the Angie's messaging center.  
The initial contact seemed to go well -- I clearly laid out what our needs were, in this case we
were seeking repair of a strip of five Malibu lights along our driveway which though connected
to the main line of lights which worked, are not turning on in the evening.  
The response from the company was friendly, saying they could help us with this.  An appointment
was set, and on our request, they clarified they do not charge for first assessments.   But
on the day of the appointment, we waited...and waited. . . and waited . . . one hour past 6 PM.  
We chose to leave the company an email noting that they had failed to show up.  The next day, I phoned
their number.  The person on the phone offered no immediate apology for their failure to show up
the previous day.  Only at the end of the conversation did she express any regret.  
With some hesitation, we re-scheduled a visit. On the day of that visit, I received a call from what I
can only assume was their field rep.  He was somewhat abrupt, saying he wanted to clarify that
they don't work on Malibu lighting.  Remember -- in the initial Angie's List messaging, their office
rep had said they could help us with our problem.
In the phone call, the field rep said the company only discusses lights that they can provide (this clearly
messaged that they decline to get involved in minor jobs, reflecting comments by others left in reviews
on Angie's List).  
We decided to maintain the appointment . . .the company rep arrived.  It was clear from the start they he 
had no intention of providing any estimate that would be in what we consider a reasonable range.   As another reviewer noted on Angie's:  "It was clear from the start that the company is really only interested,  though, in dramatic upscale lighting. . . ."
The discussion ended with the field rep, who provided a ballpark verbal estimate of between $2,000 and $2,500, and said 
if that is not in our budget range it wasn't even worth his time writing up an estimate.   And . . . that was that.
But I feel compelled to provide this description, because others have obviously experienced the same.  For the reason
alone of the contradictory information provided, which initially gives the impression to potential customers that this 
company does care about jobs costing less than $2,000, I am providing this information.  Add to that the failure to show 
up on the first appointment, and we would not recommend this company -- unless of course, you are fully able to spend at least $2,000 on lighting.
I recommend to this company, and all others who think they can engage in this kind of activity, that they realize that 
people are really not that stupid.

"Kenneth Wynn came to install a generator transfer switch box inside my house and a plug for outside. He was very professional and was training two younger guys who were very nice and courteous. I was thankful that the Lord had put me in contact with somebody that I could trust! I would definitely call him again for any electrical work that I might need in the future."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Single-pole switches are simple circuits designed for lower voltages. As such, they don’t require the complex wiring of switches that need to supply power to larger devices and appliances. This is why single-pole switches commonly go in bathrooms, closets, and other small rooms that power a low-watt light fixture. One wire creates the circuit from the power supply, the other goes to the fixture, and the final wire provides safety mechanisms through grounding.

The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a 100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. 

If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It’s unlikely that you’ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.

Using a wire stripper/cutter, strip about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sheathing from electric wires, depending on the application. A self-adjusting wire stripper/cutter works best, but a standard wire stripper/cutter with holes for different gauges of wire works as well to cut and strip away the sheath without damaging the copper wire inside.

Yes, states and local governments can have additional building codes that address kitchen outlets. In most cases, these kitchen outlet codes simply refer to the NEC. However, states or local municipalities can have separate requirements for electrician licensing, such as requiring a permit to make big changes, and other details.

A 3-prong, 15-amp, 120-volt outlet is standard in the U.S. These have two vertical slots and a U-shaped grounding hole, which suits most home electronics, from televisions to microwaves. Three-pronged outlets are safer than 2-pronged ones, as the third wire, known as the grounding wire, helps prevent shocks and electrical fires.
