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)

"DO NOT HIRE GUNLOCK, specifically do not hire Caleb Gunlock. If possible, to give a lower rating, I would. There is a reason why They are rated so low with only a handful of ratings and only 1 being positive. They were paid to install and hook up an outdoor wood boiler. They came out and claimed to know what they were doing. Signed off on work. Now I am stuck with a outdoor wood boiler system that does not work. It does not heat either the shop or house. The OWB is working perfectly. They did not bleed the system. They fired up the system without checking their pipes. So my pumps ran dry for several hours due to their negligence Just not the parts they were hired to hook up and install. And to make it better my original heat that was working first is now not working. So, I am stuck with no heat with a wife and 2 under 5 kids. They agreed to complete work. Said they completed the work. Which they did not. When I approached them about making it correct Caleb told me to " MAKE MY DAY" This is the worst company I have ever hired. They said that all parts are included when they bid the job. Then tried to make me pay for adapters and argued about that. Caleb Gunlock is a spineless coward. Called me a liar to my face, and when confronted stumbled over his own words. Would not honor the agreement that was listed out on the invoice. caleb gunlock WILL NOT BE A MAN OF HIS WORD AND STAND BEHIND IT!!!! I now need to hire another company to fix what they messed up. I highly suggest someone else that has a better knowledge of how to properly do the work."

"Way overpriced. I am shellshocked at the price to service a fan motor. To replace the motor is nearly as much as it would cost to replace the entire unit. I paid the 70 bucks and sent him on his way. Hate losing the 70 dollars but I should have paid more attention to the reviews. My bad. The guy spent 5 minutes looking at the fan, the next 20 minutes was inspecting my fuse box then writing up a bunch of optional upcharges on notebook paper."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts
When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.
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.
Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.
Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
