"The communication from the office was wonderful. The technician arrived late, but apologized. Did put up the fan. However, the only reason they didn’t get a five star rating as he did not ask me what size downrod I wanted and installed the longer one and I wanted the shorter one. When I asked him, he said it’s too late to change it now. However, he was courteous and kind. Just didn’t follow through on what I had asked because he said it would take too much to change it."

"Was originally scheduled to come out to give an estimate scheduled through the Angi app. They did not show up for the estimate appointment. When I called they blamed the app and that they don?t schedule appointments for estimates using the Angi app. They gave me an estimate over the phone. I didn?t provide them enough detail about what I was needing to have done. (my mistake). I scheduled an appointment to come out. They missed the appointment the first day. They then offered to come out first thing the next day which was nice. The technician struggled with the work, possibly because they didn?t have enough information upfront. The technician dropped the light fixture and damaged my dining room table. Probably because he was not well armed with the information he needed about the task at hand. Not really his fault. The light fixture did not appear to be well anchored to the ceiling when the job was completed. Tech assured me it was, but since I was helping to hang it,I could see that it was not. At this point, the tech seemed worn out. When I called and asked to send someone else out to secure it better, they spoke to the tech who installed the fixture and he assured them it was fine. So that conversation was closed. They did offer to fix my table that was damaged. However they really wanted to know immediately about how they could resolve it. After telling them that I needed to find out the cost of repair and needed some time to investigate. They also told me at that time that the original estimate they gave me was too low based on the work they actually had to do. They did honor the original quote but basically wanted the table damage resolved that instant, before the technician left. I paid them and sent them on their way and told them I would have to get back to them on the cost of the table repair. Perhaps if when the tech saw the scope of the original estimate didn?t match what I actually needed done and we had talked about it then, we might have had the opportunity to adjust to get more people involved. That might have eliminated dropping the light on my table and facilitated a more positive experience. Or they could have come out to do the original estimate as scheduled through the Angi app or fixed that disconnect with Angi that they were apparently aware of. I?ll need to hire someone else to come out and reattach the light more securely. I?ll pay to have my table fixed myself simply because I don?t want to deal with these folks. Just seems like bad luck with me. They seem nice and they tried but the end result was not a positive experience."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
