I am well experienced 40 years in electrical trade and I’m a master electrician. I am an industrial electrician, residential, and commercial
"I couldn’t be happier with the exceptional service I received from Dwight Edwards and his company, Essential Powers LLC.! Dwight assembled and installed (9) ceiling fans in my home flawlessly, and each one looks and functions perfectly. Dwight’s attention to detail really stood out—everything was aligned, balanced, and neatly completed. On top of that, Dwight moved (5) outlets up the wall to accommodate TVs, creating a clean and professional look that really enhanced the space. Dwight is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and showed great craftsmanship in every step of the job. What impressed me most was his professionalism—always punctual, respectful of my home, and willing to take the time to answer all of my questions. Dwight even cleaned up thoroughly after finishing, leaving no mess behind. I highly recommend Dwight and his company, Essential Powers, LLC. to anyone looking for top-notch electrical work. His dedication to quality and customer satisfaction is truly unmatched!"

"for the wiring that has been installed in my circuit breaker has been tripping because there was problem. the circuit breaker is arching, and the company who is monitoring my electricity said its a "fire hazard" but he keeps ignoring it. I argue with him yesterday and told him to come back because I need to use the spa because of my back problem. He said he don't have any open time and keeps ignoring it. The issue is the wiring that he installed, but he's trying to find another problem with my house to divert the issue. The thing company also talked to him last saturday and keeps explaining what is wrong with the wiring but he said that there;s nothing wrong with it."

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.
