"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."

"We had been
looking for a state of the art solar power system, using the latest technology in
solar and battery backup.

It was hard
finding a company that could stabiles power in our home and give us what we
wanted.  The power from the local power
company was always over high voltage or very low shorting the life of my electronics
and motors in my home and workshop.    It
was hard finding a company that knew what they was doing and giving a good
price for what we wanted. The Company Renewable Engineered Systems RESllc  was the only one that was able to do this.           Only 1 volt flux of voltage  There system acts like a cpasator in my home
and give us very clean power this will extend the life of all my electronics
and motors that i have in my freezers and fringes and well pump.

This works day to day plus if the grid goes
down, my house will still be running with solar power"

"Craig Collins, the owner, came over to meet with both my husband and me. We told Craig generally what we were looking for and he listened carefully. He described to us in a very upbeat manner his creative vision that would accomplish what we wanted for our lighting. He carefully explained the creative thought process and design elements that were important. My husband and I could see Craig's passion for his work and that he was an artist. We were very excited about his ideas and readily and happily agreed to his proposal. Additionally, we felt that his price that he quoted us was very reasonable. On the date promised, Craig's son, Craig Jr., who works with his father (which I also liked), came to our home to look at all the electrical requirements. My husband and I were extremely impressed when both Craig Sr. and Jr. returned a few days later to begin work, in pretty cold weather (it was the dead of winter). Craig is very professional and has a good old fashioned work ethic, and wanted to make his customers happy. Those qualities are pretty hard to find these days, and so we were very appreciative and really enjoyed working with Craig. The gorgeous end result makes us feel 100% enthusiastic to highly recommend Craig Collins and his company Landscape Lighting Designers Plus. His work and customer service are worth every penny. P.S. Our neighbours commented immediately on how beautiful our home looked all lit up!

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You don’t need an electrician to change an outlet—but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hire one. Working with electricity can be dangerous, not only for you but also for your home and the members of your household. There’s the risk of electrocution, poor wiring burnout, and electrical fire. When you hire a licensed electrician, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your electrical outlets are installed correctly and up to code.

The number of outlets and lights you can safely run on a single circuit depends on the circuit's amperage and local electrical codes. A general rule is to allow one outlet or light fixture per 1.5 amps, keeping the total load under 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. For example, a 15-amp circuit can typically support up to eight outlets or lights, while a 20-amp circuit can accommodate up to ten. Always consider the combined power usage of all connected devices and fixtures to prevent overloading. For specific guidelines and to ensure safety, it is best to consult local electrical codes or a licensed electrician.

No, you shouldn’t immediately reset a tripped breaker. If you don’t know what tripped the breaker, resetting it and continuing the actions that set it off could pose a hazard. It also means your breaker will sustain greater damage if it trips again. If you know the cause of your tripped power, unplug faulty appliances or fix the issues, then reset it, and wait a few minutes before using electricity in that circuit.

Services by electricians can quickly get expensive, but there are a few ways you can save money in the process:

  • Bundle multiple jobs done at the same time to save on trip fees or flat fees for individual projects.

  • Get at least three quotes for service to find the best deal.

  • Buy fixtures, switches, outlets, and other materials beforehand to avoid product markup.

  • If you feel comfortable with it, have an apprentice or journeyman complete the work under the supervision of a master electrician. These electricians in training tend to charge less per project.

The lifespan of an average breaker box is 25 to 40 years, depending on the type and electrical events that occur in your home. Frequent power outages or surges can cause the breaker box’s lifespan to shorten. Maintain this essential electrical component by avoiding turning it off and inspecting it regularly for signs of damage.
