"I called APS about getting a standby generator for my home, and the whole experience was great from the start. They took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense and walked me through what to expect instead of just trying to sell me something. What really stood out to me was how thorough they were. They noticed my gas meter was undersized for what I already had and helped get that addressed with the utility company before it became a bigger issue. That?s the kind of thing most people probably wouldn?t even know to ask about. Their pricing was competitive, communication was easy, and everyone I dealt with was professional and knowledgeable. The 10-year warranty being included was a nice bonus too. Overall, I felt like they genuinely cared about doing the job right. I?d absolutely use APS again and would recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work or a home generator."

"The service was outstanding. Jackson Electric was quick to respond, very friendly, and best of all the work was installed properly. I highly recommend these guys to all my family and friends. Some of these other local guys could stand to learn a few tricks of the trade from you. Thank you Jackson Electric! ?"

"It's refreshing to see that an honest and hard-working electrician like Clinton, is still is available in Birmingham,AL. After submitting my request on Homeadvisor I received a call within 5 minutes. Clinton scheduled the appointment for the next day and took the time to explain everything that was going to be done. He also explained the pricing and gave me a general idea of what kind of price I was looking at. Tonya called the next morning to confirm my appointment. She was a very sweet and knowledgeable young lady. I had a couple of questions I had thought of over night and she was able to answer all of them for me. I thought it was great that they call to confirm and make sure that the previos scheduled time still worked best for you because the type of work I do, my schedule does change last minute often. Clinton arrived on time and worked throughout the day. He was very neat in appearance and well organized. He did anperfect job on the panel and wiring upgrade and even fixed some other problems he found while working on the rewire at no extra charge. He takes alot of pride in his work and is by far the cleanest worker i have seen. He didn't leave not one trace of anything to let you know he had been there. We had gotten a few estimates from some other local electricians about 6 months prior to getting this work done and all of the quotes were at least $300-$400 more than what Whatley Electrical charged us. We received a 10% off discount for my husband being in the marines which I loved because lots of companies dont seem ti remember our servicemen. Tonya also called a few days after work was done to make sure all was working correctly and to see if we had any problems or questions. They make you feel so comfortable with knowing if something did go wrong that they are there for anything we needed and not to hesitate to call. Overall the best experience we have had with a contractor coming in and doing work on our home. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and will recommend Whatley Electrical to all of my friends."

"I called JD early in the morning. My privacy fence gate had been rickety for several weeks and had finally completely come off the hinges. He answered immediately and agreed to come by late that afternoon to take a look and give me a price. He came on time, and even though it was freezing cold,very windy, and almost dark, he said he could fix it right then. He pointed out that the gate was actually on upside down and it fixed it satisfactorily in less than an hour. I will call JD again for handyman work.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Tuscaloosa, AL

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
