"After another electrician blew me off for nearly a week with excuses, then informed me that he couldn't make it over for nearly another week. I found Mikhail online, through Homeadvisor,com, and was very grateful when he offered to come right over to troubleshoot the problem and fix it despite it being around 8:30 at night. I had lost all power to the 2nd floor of my house after a space heater I'd bought had been plugged in for an hour or so. The 2nd floor is where the bedrooms, master bathroom, and office is, as well as where I keep one of my cockatiels, so, it was very inconvenient to not have any power at all for those rooms. Although I can do basic electrical work, like installing outlets, light fixtures, and so on, this was beyond my level of ability to troubleshoot and fix. Mikhail arrived very quickly, and after a short time investigating, found a problem with the wiring within the breaker box, which had caused one of the wires to overheat and actually melt. He was able to strip and reattach what remained of that wire, which restored the power to the 2nd floor again. During the course of trying to troubleshoot the problem myself, I had noticed that one of the 15 amp breakers was actually feeding two lines, which should never be done, and which I certainly wasn't comfortable with. I was planning on converting a 240v outlet on the first floor to 120v which would allow me to put one of those lines on a dedicated 15 amp circuit of it's own. I had already bought the breakers to take care of that, so I thought I'd just ask Mikhail if he would do the conversion for me while he was here, which he did. So, that resolved a 2nd problem that I had, which would help make any troubleshooting easier in the future, as well as relieving another safety issue. Additionally, during my investigation about the breakers and wiring in my house, I discovered that the company that made my breakers and panel (Federal Pacific Electric) is no longer in business, being sued for failures of their products and the damage caused by them. Houses are not even allowed to be sold with electrical panels by this company anymore, and are required to have them converted to a different manufacturers panel for safety reasons. I asked if Mikhail could do the job, and what it might cost, and was given a very reasonable quote. So, I not only got the immediate problem fixed promptly (the same evening I contacted him), but I got the outlet I had wanted converted switched over, and got a price quote to replace the electrical panel that until only days ago I had no idea was even a problem at all. Mikhail was prompt, friendly, and professional; very easy to talk to and work with; and the entire job from start to finish (including the additional outlet conversion) only took about an hour total. The job was very reasonably priced as well. I would certainly recommend Mikhail to anyone needing to get any kind of electrical work done, as I don't think you will find anyone with better quality work, or who will do the job for a more reasonable rate."

FAQs for lightning protection install or repair projects in Longmeadow, MA
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.
