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!!!!"

Geisler Electric services Kansas out of Leonardsville. We pride ourselves on the dedication we have to all of our customers and the quality of work that we provide. Give us a call today! We look forward to working with you!

"I had Geisler Electric come out to my home a few months ago to repair my electric meter. They were prompt, efficient, and did a great job. Today was not the same. I had Geisler come to her house to fix a few light fixtures, in the bathroom , kitchen and carport. They claimed the carport light was an easy fix. The carport light stopped working shortly after they left. It has to be jiggled in just the right way to come on for a while, which is not safe and should not have to be that way. This obviously was not fixed. All that was done in the kitchen was a lightbulb replacement. They told me the lightbulb I had in there was the problem. That may be correct, but they did not spend one whole hour in my home that I was billed for. In my bathroom, the light had stopped working completely, The electricians said I just needed a new light fixture even though the wiring in my house is about 60 years old. I had a new light fixture in my house and looked around for it, and did not know where it was. As I was searching, they told me they could go pick one up at Ace Hardware real quick. I still kept searching for it, but one of them seemed in a hurry to just go buy it. I felt on the spot and I guess I made the wrong choice. When asked what type of fixture I wanted, I said basic, cheap. Because I also had work on my mind, I neglected to ask what it would cost me for them to pick it up at the store. I live in Junction City , Ace hardware is about 8 minutes from my home , they were gone much longer than need be, and I wondered why it took them so long. I wish I would have asked. I do not believe they chose the cheapest because my billing statement showed $80, plus I was charged a large fee for them to pick it up. In summary they did virtually nothing to the carport light, changed a lightbulb, and spent way too long to get the light fixture. This comes to $385? I feel I was taken advantage of due to my situation. I am low income and I am sure by looking at my home they could see."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

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.

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

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.
