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!!!!"

"The owner of Electronics 9-1-1 installed an eight-camera home security system in my home. The entire experience, from initial consultation to finished product, was the model on which all other advertisers' services on Homeadvisor should be based! The company owner's recommendations about installation techniques, technical knowledge and considerations, equipment capabilities, scheduling accommodations, and modifications in mid-installation to overcome unforeseen issues were all spot-on, and resulted in a system that exceeded every expectation. Would use Electronics 9-1-1 again in a heartbeat, and it is a pleasure to recommend them to anyone needing security system installation or service of the highest quality."

"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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts
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.
As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.
Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.
