"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, the system is great! It took a while to get the system installed due to paper work for grant and bank loan. Finally got system up and running on 10/5/16.  The system provides complete energy for our house and business. And we don't have to pay the electric company, in fact they will be paying us for any overflow production. 

If your are interested is installing, you better hurry because the demand is increasing dramatically and the waiting time for installation will take a while.


Brian Brown from Renewable Engineered Systems is our provider. Very easy to work with and they are a local company with a very professional attitude.  His contact phone number is 276-226-0228"

"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.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.

240V is the standard for more demanding appliances in the United States, whereas 220V is more common elsewhere. The voltage isn’t very different in any practical sense. The United States is a newer country compared to many other regions in the world with a faster adoption of new electrical needs. Appliances in the United States are often bigger than other parts of the world.

Yes, a dead outlet can be dangerous and may cause a fire. The lack of power can be due to a hazardous electrical issue that poses a fire risk. If you notice a burning smell, discoloration, or sparks from a non-working outlet, it is a serious issue. It is vital to have a professional electrician investigate and fix the problem as soon as possible.

Before you start doing anything else, you must call your electric company to confirm their process. It is technically their meter that you’re moving, so there’s really no such thing as free rein. Moving the meter generally involves disconnecting power from the utility company, disconnecting the cables that run into your electrical panel, and dismounting the meter assembly. Once uninstalled, a handyperson will remount and reconnect the wiring in its new location.

Yes, the majority of appliances that run at 240v will work with a 220v outlet, but will often run slower and may have a slight delay in turning on. This could also cause long term damage to the appliance being used, so it’s recommended to always use the correct voltage for your appliance and upgrade to a 240v outlet if needed.
