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!!!!"

Home Performance Group is a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing firm providing service and maintenance for residential Heating and Cooling, Electrical and Plumbing systems, as well as appliance service and general mechanical repair for homes. Our installation team specializes in design, engineering and installation of cutting edge green technologies such as ground-source heat pumps, heated floors, PV solar arrays and much more.

"My June experience 2021 with Home Performance Group (HPG) was nothing less than remarkable. It began when Patrick came to my house to do a consultation regarding my 21-year-old air conditioner and furnace. Unlike any of the previous 3 companies that had stopped by, Patrick spent a fair amount of time measuring the entire house, to include every window, and he explained that these measurements help determine which system would be best suited for my house. When it came time to pick the system, he presented me with 4 options and did not try to “hard-sell” me on any of them. Rather, he showed me to pros and cons and while he made his own recommendation, it was up to me to decide. I ended up going with his recommendation anyway. He provided me with extensive documentation regarding the Carrier system I selected. Come installation day, Nick and George arrived with my air conditioner, coil, and furnace and even though it was pouring down rain, they went right to work, removing all the old equipment first and then installing the new equipment. I don’t even think they stopped to take lunch or a break. By the end of the day, I had a full operational system with everything up in running. In fact, they managed to tie my existing, manual controlled humidifier to the new system, something I wasn’t aware was possible, but they pulled it off. Both Nick and George were professionals and went out of their way to make sure no mud was tracked into the house. When it was time for them to leave, nothing was left behind for me to dispose of. The system I now have is so quiet, I honestly can’t tell it is running, besides the fact that the temp in the house is where is should be. My old system was so noisy I could hear it turn on from my 2nd floor bedroom. With the new carrier air conditioner, you could be standing next to it and not know if it was on or off. Also, I am afforded rebates from Carrier and Patrick had them submitted the day the work was completed. I already received an email from Carrier indicating my rebates were being processed. If you are considering this kind of work for a new air conditioner and/or furnace, I highly recommend calling Home Performance Group and get a consultation with Patrick lined up."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.
