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

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

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.
