"The experience was not quite what I expected. I had clearly explained the scope—replacing 10-12 standard switches with smart switches giving model number/spec—and was hoping for a lump sum proposal, but they only offered hourly rates, which is understandable. They estimated it would take about 2 hours, but the job ended up taking over 4. While they mentioned having done similar installations before, they spent quite a bit of time reviewing instructions on site, which added to the time and cost. The final bill was over $800 for a couple switches, including a service fee and $10 for wire connector? (The switches come with connector) Just a heads-up to others: be sure to ask detailed questions about hourly charges and how time will be managed, especially for smart device installations."

"Raynor Services NJ. I'm addressing my aha moment experience . I wouldn't recommend because of the pricing and what I was I told by Raynor's electricians. Remember I'm not an electrician so I'm looking for someone to guide me, the professionals. During my new life lesson learned January 1st even for a holiday this is high but Raynor sticking by their quotes and will even provide your financing. WOW, you would have to with those charges! Thinking let me go local would be the best, totally wrong. Raynor ask for your credit card up front, thinking back my first mistake. Hhhmmmm.. I have only had a company ask for a credit card upfront when they are ordering a part for me from what I recall. They charged you for walking thru the door, no problem. Then have your sign to review your issue, yes you don't have to I'm told but again I'm not an electrician, did the electrician not know what was going on? I have a 11 year old electrical panel, yup pretty new one would I thought. Well I had no electricity, the guy is asking me it must be something more that is going on I thought , not just the main breaker? I called originally stating the main breaker is not working. The electrician should of stated to me let's get your electric back on with the price prior to seeing if anything else maybe wrong but again you are at my house to see what is wrong? Apparently this was my fault to have someone review my electrical panel which took 10 minutes to do and I was billed $467.09 which included the walk in the door fee. January 1st , my first "got you" clause of the year. I called customer service and spoke to two women at the company and they spoke to me nicely, wanted to give me a free warranty. I'm thinking in my head , for what? Kerri who also works for the company was so nasty to me on the phone, she was the final person I spoke too. I repeated myself several times and received the same story from the company on how you go to the doctors and what my doctor charges me. Kerri even told me her electrician will be right out to pick up their cable and they did. I really thought going off of Angie list I wouldn't feel so taken. Finally I had to interrupt her several times to say what is my bill and she didn't even know and said you will get an email. One of the workers from Raynor even told me the prices are high and yes a lot of people complained about the same issue your are complaining about, OMG!!! The electricians are all young men. I was told by one of the company employees I am handling it well and I'm a very nice person, imagine that. After talking to 3 different people on the phone from Raynor still charged $467.09 and no breaker. The price they wanted to charge me after the work completed is $1,140.26, for service and a breaker, less then 1/2 hour job. They also wanted to sell me a new panel/ electrical system because mine was reading to go and I didn't have quality electrical panel installed. I had water coming through my electrical line, I was like really? It would cost me over $2,000.00 for a new panel and all new breakers, I was informed of this prior to my electric coming back on. I had so many red flags and even called my contractor and he couldn't believe it. As I was told by the company the electrician didn't have to check my service but then again how do you find out the problem? The electrician spent 10minutes to review the problem and 10minute to put my electric on, let say 30 minutes, charged $467.09 and still more money for the main breaker and service. This is the email I sent to the company after talking to 3 people pretty calmly about their charges. EMAIL:.To who it may concern , Please confirm service fee charge, I received a 2nd email but not clear, it states I still owe. It is unfortunate and your employee did come back to retrieve your cable from me today. For a single circuit breaker along with service would cost someone over a thousand dollars is not responsible even on a holiday. To charge someone over $467.09 to step through my door and tell me what is wrong even on a holiday is priced high. We already knew it was the main breaker I addressed this when I placed the initial call and spoke with Chris when he came out. Maybe your guy should of stated to me let's try the breaker first? This was not addressed to me at that time. It was addressed to do a diagnostic test , as a customer I felt that is what was needed. I was also told I needed an entire new system and the outside tubing I think you call it would need to be replaced. My unit is not even 11 years old, insane. Also begins over spoken too by Kerri was concerning. Stephanie and Cheri did speak to me kindly but the high price never changed. I have done business with many companies and lived in neighborhood for over 20 years and I have not come across an experience like this. I would hope the charges will not even come to $467.09. If so very unfortunate and lesson learned. I have never had a company I couldn't work things out with and I have only had one other company complaint in the last 20 years, not bad on my part, we were able to negotiate. I was offered a free warranty package from your company but this was to keep my business but saw no problems with what I was charged? Disheartening. Yes after all this I had a new electrician come to my house and guess what all I need was a Circuit breaker I did not need a new panel/electrician system. Imagine that. No reply to my email and spoke to 3 people. Kerri stated since I was not happy with the service he electrician will come back and disconnect the work they had done and they did.

The main drawbacks of lightning protection systems are upkeep and appearance. The system needs routine cleaning and professional inspections; skip them, and the rods might fail when you need them most. Over time, those visits add a little extra cost and effort. Some homeowners also dislike the look of metal rods or cables along the roofline. If aesthetics worry you, ask your installer about lower-profile hardware or ways to blend the components into your roof.
No, the copper in lightning rods does not attract lightning. Instead, lightning targets the highest nearby point, not the metal itself. Copper is simply a superior conductor, which is why pros use it. When a bolt hits the rod, the copper safely channels the charge through the grounding cable and into the earth, sparing your home. Choosing copper doesn’t draw more strikes—it just handles them better.
Rod count depends on your home’s size and the system you choose. A 3,000-square-foot house needs six to eight copper or aluminum rods for full coverage, while a single ESE air terminal often protects the same area on its own. A UL-certified pro can measure your roof, spot potential strike points, and recommend the right number for complete peace of mind.
Always hire an Underwriters Laboratories-certified installer. A UL-certified pro follows the Lightning Protection Institute’s strict rules, mounts each rod securely, and uses only UL-listed parts. Professional installation protects you from falls, wiring mistakes, and code violations, and it ensures the system works exactly as designed when the next storm rolls through.
