"Used this company previously and again it was a pleasure from beginning to end. I would give him 10 Stars if I could. Referred William to a close friend of mine and she was just as pleased. We both sleep better during our bad Florida thunderstorms. A friend of mine lost their home due to lightning. They got out just in time couldn’t save anything but their lives barely. I urge all to install lightning rods."

"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"

"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!

"the staff are very nice - before they even walked in, they laid down paper throughout the walk path of the house to keep everything clean. They were very careful in our home and courteous. Anthony is responsive and a really nice guy.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can identify Federal Pacific Stab-Lok® breakers by the label on the front of the panel that says “Federal Pacific” or “FPE” and the breaker itself should say “Stab-Lok®” either on the face of the panel or a label inside the panel door. The Stab-Lok® breakers are also usually red on the breaker switch.

You will need a permit for any electrical work that involves installing or replacing wiring, moving or installing new fixtures, switches, or outlets, hardwiring appliances or HVAC equipment, installing subpanels, and upgrading electrical service. You typically don’t need a permit to have an electrician replace an existing light fixture or electrical box. You can always call your local building department to see if your project needs a permit, but a professional electrician will be able to tell you. In most cases, your professional will pull the permits for you.

Yes, pool pumps use a significant amount of electricity, making them one of the biggest energy consumers in a home. A pool pump can use up to three times as much electricity as a refrigerator. Typically, a residential pool pump consumes about 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) for every hour it runs. Because pumps often need to run for about eight hours a day to properly filter the water, this can add up to an annual consumption of 3,000 to 5,000 kWh, which can cost between $480 and $800 per year based on average electricity rates.

The amount of electricity your pump uses depends on its size, energy efficiency, and daily run time. To lower your energy consumption, you can choose an energy-efficient or variable-speed pump, ensure it is correctly sized for your pool, and run it only for the minimum time required to keep the water clean.

Volts and watts aren’t directly convertible units—they measure different aspects of electricity. Volts measure electrical potential, while watts quantify the power. The relationship between the two is defined by the equation: Power (watts)= Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes). In other words, the product of volts and amps results in watts, but there is no fixed conversion of volts into watts.

A voltmeter measures the voltage of AC or DC electrical current. Unlike a multimeter, measuring voltage is a voltmeter’s only function. Voltage is the potential difference between two points within a circuit. Measuring voltage with a voltmeter can help identify wiring issues or determine whether a battery is dead.
