At Paschal Air, Plumbing & Electric we believe great customer service never really goes out of style. And for over 50 years we have dedicated ourselves to providing unrivaled customer service and top-notch workmanship to all our loyal customers across NW Arkansas and the River Valley. You can rest easy because whatever your AC, plumbing or electrical needs may be there’s nothing we can’t handle. At Paschal, we do it all. And we do it well! Serving our customers and doing it with a smile is what we love to do. It’s our passion and it’s our promise to you. One we proudly stand behind!

"I hired Paschal 3 times to install HVAC system and tankless water systems. About $ 45,000 worth of business. One of the units failed within 1 year. I called them and asked if it was still under warranty. The guy on the phone did not know. He was more interested in sending out a tech for money. I asked for the manager to call me back. It has been 1 day and never received a phone call. I called a competitor. They showed up right away, they honored the manufacturers warranty and got it fixed. I believe Paschal has gotten too big to give you any good customer service. Plus, their prices has gotten really expensive to keep that huge warehouse going. The competitor I used, is a smaller company with great service and they call back immediately. I have 11 rental units that need service all the time, Paschal just lost all of my business. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency.
