Never call an 800 number for service again! Down Right Satellite has the best reviews, highest ratings, and a service first attitude. Save yourself more than money and become our next life-long customer. Down Right Satellite is geared toward the trade of satellite installation and home theater related services while still providing customers with all the same store bought products and services our competitors offer. An analogy we like to use to describe us is: When you need a water heater you could talk to the sales person at the store who likely has limited knowledge or you can talk to a plumber who has the experience installing and servicing the product in the home. The satellite industry has been cluttered with retailers that have little or no control over their technicians' training or the quality of their work. There is also sometimes a lack of communication and understanding between sales people, the customer, and the technician. Our trained technicians are involved through the entire process from presenting our product, surveying the work site, and going through the sales procedure with the customer in their home which saves time for everyone and allows us to better serve the customer. This is what makes us successful and unique. The owner, Paul Lovisa, began working for Dish Networks' service provider, Blue Sky Satellite, quickly working his way from technician, to team leader, to warehouse manager. He started Down Right Satellite in 2008 in order to start sub-contracting work from local retailers to better use his skills and make more money. He has worked for Dynamite Satellite, Big Dog, Great Plains, EZ-Comm, and others. Paul desired to do his job well and loved helping his customers. Soon he realized he could better serve his customers on his own rather than through the retailers. Association). 10.

Thank you for taking the time to view my company. I provide a very friendly service. I will give you a free estimate of anything that you might need done. My normal Handyman rates are $50 per hour. While some jobs have a set fee or will be bid. But we can go over any questions you might have before the project begins. I am open to any ideas and suggestions you might have for how you want to complete your project. I have used sub-contractors if necessary and will allow you to pre approve them.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

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. 

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

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.

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
