"Under no circumstances would I recommend John Henry’s. The fact that they have such glowing reviews makes me genuinely question whether they’re legitimate or incentivized internally, because my experience was the complete opposite. Nearly three weeks ago, I scheduled a duct cleaning and annual HVAC maintenance. On a Saturday, I received a call informing me they were “too busy” to keep my Monday appointment and wanted to push me out another two weeks. I told them that was unacceptable due to the heavy construction in my home and that I would need to look elsewhere. Suddenly, they were able to fit me in on Tuesday and offered a $50 credit. Tuesday arrives, and the problems start immediately. Two technicians showed up and left black marks on about 15 of my stairs. They initially denied it but eventually wiped them down with a cloth and water. Later, I discovered they somehow got paint inside one of my electrical outlets from dragging their cord across it. I spoke with the manager, who showed no concern or accountability for the damage. I was also informed—after they arrived—that they couldn’t complete my annual maintenance because neither technician was mechanically trained. So once again, I had to reschedule, and someone else came out the next day. The technician on Wednesday was by far the worst part of this entire experience. He was rude, dismissive, and clearly more focused on selling memberships than actually providing service. When I mentioned the $50 credit I had been promised, he looked at me like I was making it up. As he tried to upsell me on their membership, I asked if they could credit the duct cleaning since it’s included in that plan. Despite me telling him they had cleaned my ducts less than 24 hours earlier, he called the office claiming it happened the prior week. While on the phone, I could hear him questioning whether I even deserved the $50 credit I had been explicitly promised. When I asked if the 15% part discount (which is included with the membership I would be paying for monthly over a two-year lock-in) would apply, he acted as if I was asking for something unreasonable and told me I was “getting too many discounts.” None of these were random discounts—they were things they advertised. At this point his behavior confirmed my suspicion that this company prioritizes sales tactics and profit over honesty or customer service. I declined the membership. Once he finalized the bill, it was more than $150 higher than the quote I received the day before. Since then, I’ve called the office three separate times asking for a simple cost breakdown: the technician’s cleaning charges and the UV bulb replacement. The manager still cannot provide this and continues speaking in circles without answering my direct question. Bottom line: Do not hire this company under any circumstances. There are many HVAC, electrical, and plumbing companies that value their customers, communicate honestly, and provide professional service. John Henry’s is not one of them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

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.
