The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)

"The job was beautifully and professionally done. I have a zero scape yard and the gentleman was concerned about disturbing the gravel when putting the rod into the ground. WOW!!!!"

Appliance Doctor is a family owned business that has been in Wichita since 1988.

"I used this company a couple of times when our heating or a/c went out as they were who the original owners had used. They replaced an a/c unit for us when the old one died, but I later found out when it needed a major repair that a) the unit was not under warranty as the installer hadn't sent in the paperwork for it, but that it had been installed incorrectly, was not up to code, and the coolant had not been added properly, causing us to need an expensive repair only a couple of years later that should have been covered by a warranty, but that we had to pay for out of pocket. Also, when our furnace broke, I was informed that the problem was very serious and potentially deadly and would cost $2000 to fix. Something about the exchange just gave me a bad feeling, so I called for a second opinion. It turned out that the issue he had "found" was fine, and that the real problem was a loose screw that was allowing air into the unit. In two minutes a new screw was screwed in and our problem was fixed for $80. We also discovered that previous work that had been done was again no to code/not done properly and had to be fixed. I would not call this person again. We have had far more success with other businesses, and I feel confident that they are doing the job right."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

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.
