"The original (2002 construction) air-conditioning equipment was cycling on and off too frequently. Dynatemp checked the hvac systems and determined the correct replacement equipment needed to service the square footage of our townhouse. They gave us a detailed written estimate for the purchase and installation. Dynatemp offered several dates for the installation. They got the town permits needed for a crane, arrived before the crane, checked that the sidewalks were properly taped off, and prepared the old units for removal. They changed the underlying pads and installed the new units on the roof and then installed the new condenser coils. (The furnaces did not need to be replaced at this time but they made sure that the new units would work with the current and any future equipment.) They installed new thermostats better matched to the new equipment. They did not program the thermostats for us (for our security) but did explain how to do it. They left the manuals with us also. This project involved quite a few workers from 8am to around 6pm before they were completely done. The next day we smelled gas near the new condenser coil in the garage unit so we called Dynatemp. They sent an installer even though it was late afternoon Friday. He tested all the connections and found a small leak in one of the hose attachments which he was able to fix it quickly. He then rechecked the unit. We were very relieved and grateful that he came right away.

"It went very well.  Tony is very responsive, courteous, and goes out of his way to make things convenient for the customer.  Not only is he very competent and thorough in his work, but he also  did a lot of the leg work, picking things up at the electric supply store, returned a couple things that I had incorrectly purchased there in my own trips prior to hiring him, and even went there on my behalf for a bed lamp that needed a new contact.  He disconnected it, brought it to the store, took a trip back to the store a week later to pick it up, and reinstalled it for me.  Tony could have applied a trip charge for each of the many visits he made to my place but didn't.  He also took the time to explain options, solutions, and even gave me a bit of free schooling in electrical work.  I highly recommend him and his business.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
