"Post sales follow up by my salesperson is non existent. I needed some information regarding tax credits as promised as I was completing my tax return. I called the office requesting that my sales person give me a call back. I only had a couple questions. Then I left a message on his contact number. I did not receive any call. So much for being a "Diamond Club" member."

Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Electrical, Solar and Renewable Energy from the Highest Rated and Most Awarded Contractor in Tucson. Arizona Daily Star Readers Choice Award "WINNER" for Best HVAC and Best Plumbing 2016, 2018, 2019 and again in 2020. Readers Choice "WINNER" Best Electrical Contractor and Best Solar Systems 2020. A+ Rated on the BBB with a 4.8 Rating Online with Thousands of Reviews. Call Strongbuilt, The Most Comfortable Call You'll Ever Make!!

"Bottom-Line: Brent Lush and Jake did an excellent job and hand things resolved quickly. Background: Called to make appointment with Strongbuilt. The person I spoke to on the phone was nice, cordial, knowledgeable, and had our appointment set-up quickly. The next day, we received a text - (as a reminder) that the technicians would be at our home - (which was nice). We also received a phone call about 20 minutes before the Technicians arrived to give time to make sure we would be at home for the service visit - (again, nice). Brent and Jake arrived on-time from Strongbuilt. They were very cordial and professional. They gave a brief overview of the 'notes' I had provided when I set-up the appointment. They then asked if I wanted to share additional details, which I did. They then shared their gameplan regarding how they would check the health of our HVAC units - (which we requested) as well as how they would go about determining the issue.. After getting to work ... they established the "baseline" health of both of our HVAC units - (to compare back to during this visit and for the future) by measuring the current draw at start-up and while running. They also measured the voltage at the breaker box. Back at the HVAC units, they were able to determine literally within a few minutes what was causing our HVAC unit to "Kick" the breaker off. The set screws which hold the aluminum wires from the HVAC units to the small fuse boxes on our home were extremely loose. So, they tightened the set screws at the fuse box at our home and on the backs of the HVAC units outside. Next, they went to the breaker box on our home and found that the set screws securing the wires to the breakers were extremely loose as well. After this, the re-checked the current draw and voltage and found the numbers to be better than baseline. After checking over the HVAC units, everything else looked good to them. They did point out that 50A breakers had been installed for the HVAC units when they should have been 35A. They recommended we submit a warranty claim with D.R. Horton to have Chaz Roberts HVAC company come out and replace the breakers, which we plan to do - (since our home is less than a year old). Now, our HVAC units are working great ... and the unit that was kicking the breaker is doing just fine and is no longer a problem. Nice job Brent and Jake!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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. 

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
