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!!!!"

Super Service Award Winners for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. Kitchen remodeling can be easy and affordable with Renovation Pros. By using all solid hardwood doors and drawer fronts, I will dramatically change the way you look at your kitchen. Being a small custom shop, I can make alterations to your existing cabinets like adding drawers, trash slide outs or even appliance lifts and more! I can also complete your entire project, including countertops, backsplashes, and even add under cabinet lighting. My installation process takes just days and there's minimal remodeling mess. Most importantly, you deal with me from our first meeting to the end. I will meet with you, build it, and install it. You are hiring me, not paying me to send a bunch of other people into your home! Let’s be honest, there are lots of companies who can build you new doors and cabinets, but only one who puts customer service first! Quality control starts and ends with me. If you are considering renovating your kitchen, please give me a call for a free consultation and estimate. I cover within a 200 mile radius from downtown Kansas City. Additional email - [email protected].

"Renovation Pros KC recently completely refaced my entire kitchen with incredible results. Chad Stock came out to our home twice with samples, and really spent time with me to ensure the finished product would be exactly what I wanted. I felt extremely comfortable with his work crew in my home, and they cleaned up daily before they left. The job was done on time, and to my extreme satisfaction. Chad even recommended some inexpensive design changes that made a world of difference to the look and efficiency of my kitchen. He was able to work around my existing granite counters and tile backsplash. My new cabinet doors are thick, solid quality wood with a beautiful finish. The drawers were completely replaced with larger drawers that slide closed silently. An unused wine rack in the old cabinets was converted to additional, hidden storage with cabinet doors. The huge light box over the island was removed, and the island cabinets were stained a contrasting luscious dark chocolate. The old, outdated Golden Oak is gone! My husband and I could not be happier with the value and quality of our new kitchen! The pictures attached to this review are Before & After. The light, golden oak is before, and the gorgeous cherry cabinets are the finished product. I attended the Home Show and researched several companies with quotes before choosing Renovation Pros KC. The kitchen is the heart of my home, and results were incredibly important to me. I'm glad I chose this company to work with."

Now Serving Lawrence with a Local Number 785-845-2360 If you are like us, your time and money are equally important to you and play a decision in the purchases you make and the companies you hire. We at Greenwave Electric understand how frustrating it is to have the people you hire disregard your time, which is why we are, "On time, every time! or we buy you dinner." While other companies are in and out and on to the next job, our technicians are interested in having a conversation about your home's electrical system, to make sure it is safe, and bring the newest Code changes and products to your attention.

"I had a ceiling fan with lights installed in an area of my living room with no power. The installer was able to pull the power without cutting into my drywall (which I had expected to happen) and finished the project quickly and efficiently. He cleaned up his work area when he was done too. Our fan and lights look beautiful and work great. Will use this company again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.
