"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."

"All the work was completed exactly as I’d hoped and I’m happy with the outcome. It was pretty quick turnaround from when I first reached out to the work being complete, which was good because the electrical work was a prerequisite for another project. I had two light fixtures needing repair and a new outlet to be installed. I was able to watch the work and it was interesting to learn the steps involved. Electrical work is definitely an area where I wanted a professional involved! Would call this company again for any future electrical work needs."

"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"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use a 3/0 AWG wire for a 200 amp service, but only if it is made of copper, as 3/0 copper wire has an allowable ampacity of 225 amps. If you are using aluminum or aluminum copper-clad wire, you need to use at least 4/0 AWG.

It prevents electrical surges, protects your home from things like electrical fires, and prevents you from getting shocked if an errant surge runs through your power line. Without grounded wires, your appliances could also get damaged during lightning storms.

It's possible to get power from an outlet for a light switch. However, you must install additional wiring to get current from the outlet to the switch and from the switch to the load it will control. Also, you must ensure that the outlet's electrical circuit can accommodate the additional demand. 

The doorbell installation cost depends on which and how many parts you need to replace. A new transformer is the least expensive replacement and falls between $20 and $35, plus the cost of hiring an electrician to install it, which can be between $150 and $250. Replacing your entire doorbell system can cost $250 to $400.

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years.
