"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

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home
