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!!!!"

We employ the very best in the business. Approximately one out of 33 applicants pass our strict qualifications and rigorous testing to become a member of the Mister Sparky team. We offer flexible financing and accept all major credit cards. Call us today and let us earn your business!

"Disclaimer: I was given the opportunity to see cost and options and I did agree to pay for most of the services with the misconception of thinking this type of service is typical cost. However, after I being taken advantage of by replacing a working $5 receptacle and then charged me $77.00. This lead me to do further research and spoke to other licensed electricians. My Story; First let me offer a suggestion, if you don't want see Mr. Sparky's ridicules high cost options that will be over $1000 then don't allow them to do this so-called home inspection. One option was $1,300 to install smoke detectors, mind you smoke detectors cost between $30 to $80 and all you need is a ladder. I denied this option. 1) They installed a so-called home surge protection (Purpose understood) however this small device is just a surge protection device and does nothing to filter or clean variable AC. A device you can buy anywhere for around $200 and 2 std 15-60A breakers which cost between $15 and $40, the job itself typically around 1.5hrs. Cost (high side) should have been around $430, my cost $1,155 2) Installed a new outlet where there was none, cost of outlet $5, typical time maybe a .5 to 1hr depending on how fast electrician would be to run wire. Cost (high side) should have been around $105.00, Mr. Sparky cost $288 3) I stepped out of the house and the electrician asked my wife if he could replace a working receptacle because it had paint on it. Wife agreed. Cost should have been free being part is $5 bucks or $1 and takes 3 to 5 minutes to replace. But ok, maybe cost of $25. Mr. Sparky cost $77.00. No he did not tell us the cost to replace a working receptacle with just paint on it. Typically electrician hourly is $50 $100 an hr. I adjusted my cost on the high side. My total cost should have been a total of around $560, but Mr. Sparky's cost was $ 1,520.00. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING MR.SPARKY!!!! Find someone who is reputable who doesn't gouge prices to unsuspecting people who don't do research to know they paid too much! It was my mistake, don't let it be yours."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

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.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.
