Hello! My name is Matt Barr, owner of Barr Electric LLC. I've been in the electrical trade for close to 14 years. After graduating a 5 year apprenticeship, I was given a work truck where I carried out mainly residential and commercial service work, but also built motor control panels. Because of the many types of electrical work I was tasked with, I now have the knowledge to take on a variety of jobs. In October of 2018, my family and I felt the call to move from Louisiana to Missouri, where I then started my business in January of 2019. I take great pride in my quality of work and am committed to outstanding results and integrity. Since I am the sole owner/employee, you will receive personal service for each individual project I take on. I look forward to building strong, long-term relationship with you and guarantee your satisfaction.
"Matt is very knowledgeable and did a great job installing our transfer switch by our electrical panel for the generator. I would recommend Matt for any type of electrical service."

The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)
"The man who did the job were awesome. They were very thorough, professional, and speedy. They left our church grounds spotless. I could not recommend them highly enough."

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.
