"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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
