"Due to poor quality water (hard, occasional brown water, chloramine etc on Aqua in N Raleigh) I had been wanting to do a whole home water filter. After doing some research and meeting with 4 service providers I engaged Streamline. I felt they were very professional and straight forward in their discussions and offered a very high quality product at a price that was not cheap but fair. They also offered a 12 month no interest financing which helped. We had the following installed: Carbon back washing filter (no maintenance), Water softener (needs salt every couple of months), and a Reverse Osmosis filter on kitchen sink tap. Discussion of details of install offered a few choices and we were able to very easily work with Chad at Streamline to decide on the best configuration and placement. Installation went very well - prompt and efficient, clean and no significant issues so far post install. The only minor issue has been the backwashing cycle for the carbon filter doing an initial run at midnight which woke us up, but was easy to resolve by programming it to occur on a weekday afternoon in the future."

"These guys were AWESOME. I received 4 quotes Cape Fear came in the lowest with exactly what I wanted, Shane was the salesmen we talked more about the days events then the actual project. When he left he felt like an old friend. He Emailed me my quote and came in $2000,00 less then the other guys with a Trane high efficiency (96% 2 stage furnace and new A/C Unit) the other quotes I got was for a single stage 80% plus ac for more money. The Installer Joe and his crew were great. he took time to answer my questions and ran a new return line from the floor and put it in the ceiling, I definitely got my moneys worth. DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE THEM!!!!!"

Generator Install FAQs, 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.

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.

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.
