"This company is absolutely fantastic! Tony is so professional and a really great guy. He bid me a price for some work that turned out to be much more complicated than originally thought. He did not try and increase his price and did the work for the pre-determined rate. In addition, I had a tv he was supposed to hang that was brand new in the box. When he opened it, he discovered the screen was shattered. I was able to return the tv and he is coming back out on a separate trip to hang it. He has really gone above and beyond. I cannot recommend him more highly."

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 are the experts in the field of Whole Home Generator Sales and Installation, with over 20 years of experience in the game. We provide turn-key installation by licensed professionals - 24 hour emergency service - Remote Monitoring - Long term maintenance and service by factory trained technicians.

"They initially contacted me via email ready to make a visit for the install. Said that they could do the project no problem. Then when they realized I wouldn’t be buying a generator from them, which I had TOLD them upfront, they canceled on me. That is not an acceptable way to do business. They should simply state that they only install generators that they sell and not waste my time."

There is so much to tell about Auto Art Collision and Restoration Shop, it’s hard to know where to begin. Have you ever heard the old saying, “If you find a job you like, you will never work a day in your life?” That statement is the essence of Auto Art. Well, that and proper training, positive attitudes, giving back to the community, and doing a great job every time! We are a collision and restoration shop filled with people who love what they do. We all come from different walks of life with wildly varying backgrounds. Our common denominator is we all want to be here doing what we do to make Auto Art the dynamic business it has become over the last 30 years. Everyone at Auto Art is dedicated to our industry in a way that’s hard to accept is factual. We have heated debates about Mopar vs. Ford (Chevy, Nissan, BMW, etc). Our shop is always alive with discussions about our industry and repair techniques. We have genuine, heartfelt, regret for our whole industry when we uncover substandard work from another shop. We are men and woman who really care about the work we perform. It is at our core, and we radiate it in our approach from answering the phone to repairing or modifying your vehicle. Auto Art works on all cars, trucks and SUV’s no matter the manufacturer. We have worked with every major insurance company and hundreds you probably haven’t heard of. Fonz Leaning on JukeboxMany auto body shops work on either restorations or collision work. We proudly do both. We have technicians trained to handle anything you can throw at us from a brand new model year vehicle or one of the first vehicles ever manufactured. Auto Art can properly repair just about anything a manufacturer has ever dreamed up. For over 30 years Auto Art has been building it’s reputation backed by a “No questions asked warranty.” When it comes to doing things right, we give you straight forward, honest answers, so you know what to expect. We don’t cut corners, and we can sleep at night knowing every vehicle that has left our shop was repaired properly with no compromises. Bill Anselmo has a phrase to sum up any questions a technician has when repairing a vehicle, “Fix it like its yours!” Put us to the test, stop by the shop anytime and talk cars with us. We bet you’re hard pressed to find a group of people more happily rooted in what they love to do. Simply put, Auto Art has impeccable references and a long standing reputation for quality work backed up by pride in a job well done. Auto Art is very active in the community, not only the historic Hill neighborhood, but also surrounding St. Louis area neighborhoods, lending support to many charities and events all year round.

"Doug provided a free evaluation and estimate, then completed all of the work very quickly once scheduled. Customer services with Summit Electric is top notch! Everyone was personable and friendly. Doug had his work cut out for him on that vent hood (who designs these things? not easy!) but within a short time, he had repaired that perfectly, fixed all of the issues with our can lights (including replacing a switch and trouble-shooting a problematic fixture), and replaced the sump pump outlet as well. He was super friendly, explained everything as he went through the work, and worked very quickly. Far more economical than the bloated estimates from the "big guys" in town and absolutely stellar service. I will definitely hire Summit Electric for all of my future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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.
