"The original project was handled so well, and the Owners' willingness to work with us was unparalleled such that we called them for two additional projects, which they did impeccably. This company, RDP Electrical Services Plus, LLC, owned and operated by Richard and Diane Prevette is first class, honest and very accurate and knowledgeable in their work. The professional electricians on the jobs were respectful, conducted themselves with excellent work ethic and kept "their noses to the grindstone," working to complete jobs in timely fashion and kept our property neat, cleaning up the worksite. We would hire them again and again. If you want to make a wise investment in your property and save money in the long run simultaneously, you'll also call RDP Electrical Services Plus, LLC. We have recommended them by word of mouth and in writing, and will continue to do so. Family, guests, and now Real Estate professionals and potential buyers are also impressed with RDP Electrical Services, LLC work done on our house."

"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"

"I used their remote service. The technician was good. The only problem was that you coul not schedule a time. You had to wait in a cue which could take a few minutes or hours. It could be difficult to work around their cue system if you have a busy schedule."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The hot wire is typically black, but it's essential to use a non-contact voltage tester to confirm the electrical wire color code before working on it. Neutral wires are typically white. It’s vital to determine which wire is carrying electrical current before proceeding with any electrical work.

Outdoor outlets should be at least 15-amp, but preferably 20-amp. The exact rating will depend on the electrical load of the devices that will be plugged into the outlet and the capacity of the circuit. It's important not to overload the circuit, which can cause safety hazards such as tripped breakers or electrical fires. In general, a circuit rated for at least 20 amps is recommended for outdoor outlets, while each outlet should be rated for at least 15 amps.

No. When applied properly, electrical tape is designed to be an insulating material with high resistance to electricity. It can reinforce electrical connections and act as a safeguard to help ensure the electrical current stays within its designated pathways. However, it’s important to note that it can break down over time and you should never use it as a replacement for electrical wire caps.

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours.
