AL has a humid subtropical with hot summers and mild winters climate that directly affects your electrical project.
Know Before You Hire in AL
Frequent summer storms and hurricane season (June–Nov) make roof and drainage maintenance critical.

Top Tip for AL
Install a whole-home surge protector at your main electrical panel — it costs $200–$400 installed and protects all appliances from surge damage during storms.
