"I would not do business with this company again. I had work done in November and have been trying to resolve the bill since December. Dickerson Mechanical drug their feet in getting the information that was needed to be sent to my home warranty company so that my claim could go forward into payment. They only contacted them with the information after they applied a late fee to the bill. When I got informed from my warranty company that they received the information and given the details of what I still needed to pay to Dickerson. I went in person to pay the bill with a check for the amount owed. I was received with a horrible attitude when I explained the situation and was here to pay what I owe still. They claimed I owed more than what I actually did and said "well you can pay that but I will send it to collections.""

"WireOne contacted me after getting my request on Angie's list. They were prompt at calling me, making an appointment and were on time for the appointment. On the phone I was told about the price for the trip charge and told that I would get an estimate for the work before being preformed. The rate is not per hour which sounds good but can be misleading. I asked on the phone to see if our existing fan could be fixed (It was making a noise) and if not we had another fan it could be replaced with. The technician told me they don't fix fans (which is not what was said on the phone) so he replaced it with the new one. He gave me an estimate but when he replaced it he was not able to get the existing wall switch to work with it. He had a switch in his car but it was white not ivory and was $132. By then we were paying for the trip charge and the charge to install the fan so what was I suppose to do? To go back to a store or order online and buy a switch for approximately $30 and get the right color would mean another trip charge and appointment. I felt like we were stuck and overcharged. We also had an estimate to replace 7 smoke detectors. He didn't want to use the brand that I bought on Amazon. Instead he wanted me to buy the ones he had in his truck and install them for a total of $965.80. Nice technician and great service but too expensive so I'll use someone else when we decide to replace the smoke dectectors."

"They said you could not put a outlet closer than 3 feet in the bathroom-GFCI? They left the house muddy (its was snowing/raining) everyday they work in the house. Never cleaned up after themselves. The owner is very unprofessional and racists, even though he hires Latinos. They drove on the grass and tore up. They completely missed driving on the driveway. Never offered to fix it. Did not complete all the items listed in the quote we agreed upon. Tried to charge me $400 to stub in for a ceiling fan. replacement outlets, they made the drywall opening larger than the outlet cover and would not repair. Pretty anything they messed they refused to fix. THEN the owner after I requested money off for items forgotten or missed and things he ruined, he has the balls to call the building permit dept because i removed drywall in the dining room. super dick move!!! and not trustworthy."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.
