"Wilson brothers came out to look at the project and provide a bid. They scheduled the inspection with little delay and arrived on time. The man who came was friendly but was very critical of the duct work in my home, which had been installed in a major renovation two years prior by a different company. I'll describe that impact below. He went away promising to provide a bid in two days' time. A week later, I still hadn't heard word and contacted the company. They replied that they would not be able to provide a cost estimate as they were too busy to do the work for several months' time. They indicated that my project was more involved than most A/C installations and for that reason they were choosing not to bid during their high volume time. I was appreciative that they didn't string me along, though frustrated to have to wait a week and then get this answer. The conversation about my previous duct-work project was also worrisome. He described it as an unprofessional job and claimed that it was not up to the building code. The new ducts were flexible, insulated ducts which he stated the code did not permit beyond a run of 12 feet. (Many were much longer than this.) He also pointed out half a dozen places where he believed the ducts had been kinked due to a tight bend. This information obviously led to quite a bit of concern on my part, as well as surprise due to the good heating performance after the previous renovation. I both called the previous contractor and researched the building code on my own. I learned that the Wilson Bros. estimator was incorrect about the building code: flexible *connectors* are limited to 12 feet in length; flexible *ducts* such as what I had are not length-limited. Additionally, all but one of the ducts he had claimed were kinked were not -- the insulation was pinched, but the duct itself was not deformed. The previous contractor noted one kinked duct that they replaced. My suspicion is that the technician does not work with flexible ducts and this led to the competing information. I appreciated the information and it did lead to the repair of one kinked duct. I also appreciated the honesty regarding their ability to do the work in a timely manner, though I would have liked better communication on the topic rather than my having to chase them down."
Three of the five heads are marked by the numbers in the blue circle. On the inside of the house is where you will find the mounted units. The slim ducts run alongside the white arrows and will eventually be covered to match the exterior of the house.
The slim ducts in the basement ceiling that connect from the branch box all the way to the 5 different heating and cooling units. These will be covered by the ceiling tiles once the job is finished.

"Many people complain about too expensive, but I believe you get what you pay for. Yes I could have picked cheaper but I researched the furnace they recommended, Amana, always in the top 5. When the installation was done I was surprised to find items not included with contract were repaired with no comment. Their service, maintenance and equipment are 5*"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

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.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

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.
