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)

Comfort Engineered Systems Inc. We go beyond cooling to provide other needs as well. We also specialize in the following: GEO Thermal HVAC Generators Solar Panels Certified Cleaning Program Expert System Air Filtration No matter your needs, from generators to solar panels to geothermal HVAC systems, services, sales, and installing all of the above, we are here to provide the expert work you desire.

"I left a $9,000 deposit with Comfort Engineered Systems over 11 months ago to have a home generator installed. 6 months passed without any follow up by the company. I then placed 15 calls/messages to the company’s voicemail and answering service without ever receiving a single return call. I was finally left with no choice but to physically show up at the company’s office and demand to speak to the owner (Edward Perez). He claimed he never received any of my call and “just by coincidence” I was “next on the list” to have a generator installed. Five more months went by without any contact from the company. I placed another dozen calls to them, none of which were returned. Again, left with no other option I again had to physically show up at the company’s office to get a response as to why I was being completely ignored after having left a $9,000 deposit. When I got to the company’s office it was completely empty although the company’s name was still on the door. Fortunately there was another tenant in the building who informed me that Comfort Engineered had vacated the premises several months earlier and he thought they may have moved to Harrahan. The company’s website still listed the previous address so I had to do some detective work to find the location of their office in Harrahan. I again physically showed up at the company and requested a return of my deposit since over 11 months had passed, I had never received a single communication from the company and they were continuing to ignore my telephone messages. I would like to hand my full deposit returned so that I can move on with my project with someone else. Mr. Perez told me that “we do not return any deposits after 3 days” and again, by coincidence, I was “next on the list”. I told him that if I did not receive a refund of my deposit I was going to pursue legal action and walked out. Mr. Perez ran after me in the parking lot saying he could install my generator next week. Mr. Perez is the most dishonest businessman I have met in 30 years of doing construction/renovation work. Stay away from this guy like the plague."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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
