"I really wanted to have a good experience with Reinhold. We’ve used them in the past and they did good work, we thought… recently our garage’s power stopped working, which is fed by a panel on the pole that they installed in August of 2022. We NEVER had a single electrical issue until after that pole was installed which is starting to make sense. A few months ago we began having electrical issues in our house, so we called Reinhold because we thought they did a good job when installing the pole that fell in 2022. The technicians that were out to see what the cause of the electrical issues in the house were said that the lines under ground were corroded (which may have been true), so we accepted to let them fix it. They hand dug by the electric pole, buried conduit and ran new wire to the house and everything seemed to be fine until we recently started having issues with the electric in our garage. The location where they dug and buried the conduit for the wire going to the house is in a very close location to where the conduit goes for the wires going from the pole to the garage. I called for an estimate and was told $5,000 worse case scenario which may be understandable considering that would include cutting asphalt, trenching, new conduit, new wire and labor so I get that. Upon receiving this news I decided to just take care of it myself. I went to the building department for our county to take the test to do residential electric work, paid for the permit to be pulled, had everything cleared with Missouri 811 incase I needed to dig and bought $700 worth of new wire. I pulled the old wire, saw that there was a break in the wire due to corrosion from water getting in the conduit underground so I started digging right where the conduit meets the pole that Reinhold installed just to see if there was a break in the conduit. Sure enough, there’s a small section of conduit that was crudely placed over where the old conduit underground is and the new conduit where they installed the pole. They had it lightly wrapped in what looks like some kind of landscape fabric (thought it was electrical tape at first). So there was no protection in the conduit against water getting in which was what caused the wire to corrode to the point of no longer working. Mind you, Reinhold is THE ONLY company we’ve had at our house for electrical work since owning the house. When I saw this piece of conduit being very improperly “connected”, I took pictures, and videos and sent them to the estimator who came out to give me a quote for fixing the electrical issue in the garage. He said he would give me a call back after speaking with the technicians that were there more recently to fix the electrical issue with the house as well as the ones who installed the pole in August of 2022. After speaking with them he said that none of them claimed to do that and that their technicians would never do something like that and all these denials of my claim. He then told me that he could come out and fix it for $500-$600 FOR A 3” LONG SECTION OF CONDUIT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED FROM THEIR PREVIOUS WORK. I am not the type to ask for free stuff from ANYONE, I’m incredibly happy to pay for good service by good people and I thought that’s what we were doing with Reinhold until yesterday. They completely denied the fact that their technicians made a mistake, and didn’t offer to fix the issue or anything. I was told that all of the technicians that have been on our property did not do it and that it would be $500-$600 to fix something they installed incorrectly. I understand if a technician didn’t remember every little detail from a job they did in 2022, but there is no integrity or accountability on their part with this issue. It was either done in 2022 when the new pole was installed or a few months ago when the new wire was put in with new conduit by REINHOLD."

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.

"To be truthful i was very skeptical hiring anyone to put on a new deck because of all the horror stories you hear of contractors taking your deposit and never returning to finish the job. BUTâ ¦ meeting with Jacob Quick made it all very easy. I met with Jacob many times because of my apprehension and having issues with making decisions. After signing a contract, Jacob kept in contact with me on starting date, permit issues, when materials would be delivered, and if there was inclement weather conditions that they could not work that day. From the start of teardown to the finished project, they were there every day at 7:30, making sure that time was ok with me. They had a crew of 4-5 people working all day. When an issue came up, they were up front and we discussed it. I felt very relieved that all the guys were very knowledgeable and experienced. I am picky when it comes to details and the entire crew were all very concerned about the littlest details. Brian was also great at answering my questions as the deck was being built. They wanted me to be highly satisfied and i surely was. Not only did they do an outstanding job building the sturdiest deck around but when they left my house, you couldn't even tell they were thereâ ¦ my yard was clean. Soâ ¦ yes i would hire them again. They made the entire experience easy peasy for me. Also kudos to the other guys on the team who also worked their butts off in the 100 degree weather. Put your mind at ease and hire Jacob Quick with Master Remodeler. You can come by and check out my deck!!"

"Kyle came out to our house from Mr. Electric fix a circuit that was not functioning. Kyle used a very good approach of identifying what was working and what was not.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts
If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.
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.
Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.
