"-Warning- One June 27, 2023, this company caused significant damage to our home by improperly replacing a condensation line. On the evening of July 1, 2023, they sent a tech to identify and stop the leak. He apologized profusely and stated that he had notified "people above his pay grade" to dispatch a team to dry the area and assess the damage. On the evening of July 3, 2023, Anthony PHCE (per Tim West), brought in a company (Power Dry) to dry the area (we discovered later that the drying process used was not the industry standard). Anthony PHCE hired another company (Phoenix Restoration) to obtain estimates to repair the damage and test for mold. Once Anthony PHCE received the mold report, Tim West held onto the results for 5 days before providing to us (he first reported the results to us, via telephone, stating that the counts were "off the charts"). He then emailed us the full report that showed toxic levels in the room that flooded and in an adjoining room (per Nick Fink with Phoenix, only 3 areas were tested per the direction of Tim West at Anthony PHCE). Tim West (Anthony) and Nick Fink (Phoenix) also told my husband and I, on several occasions, that we were safe staying in our home...contrary to what was stated in the air quality/ mold report. Tim West also shared with us that they received had received an estimate from Phoenix for $10,000+ to repair/remediate. It was at this point that all forward momentum by Anthony PHCE to repair/remediate stopped and they began shirking responsibility for the damages. To this date (7 weeks+), nothing has been done to repair the area or remediate. Their CEO/owner has yet to return our calls. We are currently living in a hotel with our dogs in hopes of lessening the current effects of exposure and hopeful that we won't have any long term effects. It has become overwhelmingly clear to us that this company has NO concern for the safety and well-being of their customers or their customer's pets or homes. Hey Anthony...you clearly took responsibility upfront, but then pulled back the reins when the company YOU hired gave you an estimate to your disliking...come on...do the right thing!! The "Owner's" response to some of my other reviews made a very random/general comment referencing my review as a "misrepresentation" without any further information/details. In addition, they directed me to talk to their insurance company? What??? I later added this addendum, and much like our requests to speak the owner via telephone, this too has gone unanswered: "Owner": You said my “review is a misrepresentation of what happened.“ If you do not immediately remove the words quoted above, I will let a judge determine who is misrepresenting what. Just so everyone knows who "Owner" is, are you: STEVE BURBRIDGE? An KC based employee of Anthony? TurnPoint Services in Kentucky? OMERS? BlackArch Partners? Who are you, "Owner?" *The tech (Matt) that came to fix the leak was extremely professional, knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, honest, and empathetic to the situation. Many of the techs we have worked with in the past do a great job. Our recent experience with Anthony PHCE's upper management has been deplorable. In my opinion, their actions and lack of action should be considered criminal (complaints have been filed with regulatory and prosecuting entities). I believe they knowingly endangered the health and safety of my family and pets, and compromised the integrity and value of our home."

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)
"Mr. Donohue is very knowledgeable and has excellent experience in the lightning protection area. He responds quickly and has a very professional team of workers. He quoted the job using google earth information. When he visited the site he reduced his price by over 50%. I highly recommend him and I will use his company again."

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:
Portable generator:
2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers.
4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.
8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.
Partial to whole-house generator:
20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
