"Nicolas did a fantastic job! He came out to my house, measured the area for the lights, checked the electrical supply, and then gave me an estimate on the cost. He had me select the type of lights I wanted, and then he ordered the lights to be sure I would get the correct ones. When they came in, he called me and we set a time for him to install them. He will also take them down after the holidays. This could not have been easier!"

"We replaced the original roof on our house. I expressed my concerns about re-installation of the lightening rods to my roofer. We have had at least three direct hits since they were originally installed in 2013. My roofer called William who was very helpful. William offered to come out an make sure everything was 100% after re-installation. He came the day after I called and I'm glad he did. While the reinstall was the best he had seen (his words) there were issues after 5 year and 3 strikes that needed addressed. He fixed those and now I have a new roof and I am certain the lightening rods will work as intended. Highly recommend this company."

"The lady who contacted me in response to my request for service from this outfit, told me there would be a 79$ fee plus tax just for the estimate.: if I then went ahead and performed some or all of the services, that fee would be applicable towards the services. (other electricians come out and estimate for free! They seemed professional on the phone and sent responsive texts and emails---and I really needed a lot of work done fast, I was willing to set up the appointment. The guy who came out was young in comparison to other estimators that came here, described himself as an electrician working for his father ( contractor) and uncles outfit---but he was very polite and professional and responsive. He proceeded to look at our power panel first--- and then we went over the entire house and I explained what I wanted done, realizing it was a lot I also indicated I might need to split this into a phase 1 and part 2 projects. The guy then returned to his car and wrote up his estimates coming back about 1/2 hour later to show them to me on his I pad, telling me that each item is a flat fee and adding them up... I looked at the costs of individual projects as well as at the grand total. I was rather dismayed to find out his estimates escalated over $3000.00(!!) ----ABOVE the highest local estimates(!!!) I had in hand from others, the BEST and highest rated full electrical contractors in our Durham Chapel Hill area!! ( their estimates totaled around $4500-5000 for even far more comprehensive work than I had asked this guy! I kept the conversation polite, trying to understand where this outfit came from in quoting such outlandish prices for this area...and I asked him, whether in all seriousness they perhaps did NOT need any jobs...? Not liking to waste my time nor this young man's, thinking it might be worth spending 50 or 100$ more on some items just to get them done now and off my list---- I tried to find at least one or two projects for him to do while he was out here-- such as replacing outdoor security lights with newer fixtures, I already had purchased--- and even after this and getting my 79$ supposedly applied to these jobs, .. the price for what I wanted done was 100% above the highest quoted price of the same items (!!!) by a very reputable and highly rated outfit in this area totallng several hundred dollars more. . At that point ---I would rather let go of my 80 bucks, than throw more good money after bad --- I told him we were done and that I consider myself scammed!! BEWARE! they are a rip off if they are legit..... or else I just gave a guy a free tour to my house and electrical and security system based on Angies List's high recommendations--!!!! BEWARE.... I really want my money back and feel had!--but at this point that is the least of my concerns. Please let my experience be a lesson to you---do not open your doors to this outfit."

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.
