"We had an attic fan that stopped working. The tech who came out explained everything he was doing and testing before actually doing it. We thought we would have to replace the motor, and he was honest about the cost upfront. Luckily it just happened to be a faulty switch. He saved us hundreds of dollars!"

"When my mother's health took an unfortunate turn for the worse in the last year due to developing medical issues, the family and I struggled to solve the problem with a bit of DIY trial and error - but quickly realized we were in over our heads! Thankfully, Clark Handyman Services picked up and were happy to help listen and coordinate with me personally to guarantee that our needs were met without fail and assured us that they would be able to meet our goals and have everything accomplished well within the estimated window of completion. The all-weather handicap accessible ramp with attached deck and rails (all treated lumber which was sealed and stained perfectly to match the existing structure) sit neatly in place. It is squared to a "T", stable enough the grandkids can run around without wobbles, and to top it off it all fits snugly against the house without water run off inevitably causing me future worry by penetrating the foundation and basement walls thanks to the gutters and drain spouts they installed before wrapping up the project! THANK YOU for bringing us peace of mind with our mother's mobility, for being safety oriented, kind, courteous, and patient group of professionals who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries for the standard of excellence just a few steps further than I thought possible. Will be using them again this summer and telling my friends! -JB & Family"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.
