At Sunrise Electric, we believe that top notch service is key to any great business. Whether it's your favorite restaurant, or a professional electrician in your home, the way you are treated decides more than anything else if you will come back or not. That's why when we're in your home, you're not a customer to us, you're family. We treat others as we would like to be treated, so when it comes to value we want to give you the best bang for your buck. We strive to be YOUR trusted electrician, the one you call on from time to time, not "that electrician that took advantage of us". We guarantee all of our work for at least a year, so if anything goes wrong you can call us day or night, and we will make it right. We are reliable as the rising sun and will strive to be up front and honest every time... because if you can't trust someone to show up on time, how can you trust them to work on your home. Free Evaluations!

Love Plumbing Air & Electrical professional plumbing, HVAC & electric company. We provide fast, same day heating and air conditioning repair services. With fixed & up-front pricing, you will never be watching the clock, as all our pricing is provided in advance on a per job rather than a per-hour basis. Call us today to schedule your plumbing, HVAC or electrical service!

"Five years ago, Love Plumbing replaced my hot water tank for around $1050. In May, the tank had rusted out and had to be replaced again. Luckily, it was still under warranty. I called Love Plumbing and they installed a new tank for about $1157. The plumber told us that the hot water tank company (AO Smith) would reimburse me for the cost of the hot water tank and he would submit that paperwork. After a month, I called Love Plumbing to ask about the status. They gave me a reference number and told me to call AO Smith, which I did. AO Smith said that Love's should have used the reference number to pick up a new hot water tank from a distributor at no cost and only charge me for installation, which is not what happened. Instead, Love Plumbing gave me a receipt that said " customer supplied tank, warranty replacement" and then submitted a claim from AO Smith in the amount of $402, which they kept instead of reimbursing to me. I promise you that my 70+ year old mother, who was home at the time of the service because I had to work, did not pick out a hot water tank for a gas home, strap it to the roof of her car, and give it to the plumber to install. He picked it up and then told her that is how they always put it on the receipt, something I doubt is true in hindsight. Clearly the $402 that they received from AO Smith should be reimbursed to me but I have called multiple times since June 7 to ask about it and have been told repeatedly that the service manager, Bobby, will call me back, which he has yet to do. Today I called to ask if Bobby actually worked there. He does! but he was out to lunch (of course). I left a voicemail and asked him to call me after 4:00 to catch me between meetings. He never called. I suspect--and had hoped--this could be resolved quickly with a company I have used in the past but now I have call my credit card company to file a complaint because I have to assume dishonesty is at the heart of the hesitancy to call me back. Obviously, I will never use them again and the people who have listened to me complain for the last week will probably not call either. Never mind the billing error, which is reason enough, they earned an "F" from me because that is terrible customer service. Final note, apparently the plumbers are also commissioned salesmen and will try to up sell you products, which happened here. Did I really need a water heater expansion tank? I don't know but I bought one because I wanted to trust the plumber who said it was now required by code and made it seem like a safety issue. Do I trust that he was telling the truth? How can I...I definitely feel cheated. I recommend steering clear."

Lightning protection installs or repairs FAQs

While a lightning protection system reduces the risk of damage to your home, there are some drawbacks to keep in mind. The system requires regular cleaning and inspections to operate correctly. Without proper maintenance, it might malfunction during a storm, leaving your home vulnerable. Additionally, the installation cost and the appearance of rods on your roof may be concerns for you.

No, copper doesn't attract lightning. Lightning naturally strikes the tallest point in an area, regardless of the material. Copper is used in lightning rods because it's an excellent conductor of electricity. When lightning strikes the rod, the copper safely channels the electrical current through cables into a grounding system buried in the earth, effectively protecting your home from damage.

The number of lightning rods your home needs depends on its size and the type of protection system you choose. For example, a 3,000-square-foot home requires six to eight copper or aluminum lightning rods to ensure full coverage. Alternatively, a single Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminal system can protect the entire home. It's best to consult a UL-certified professional to determine the exact number of rods needed for optimal protection.
