"Very accommodating and helpful with suggestions when it was noticed that the fan we purchased was defective..our installer came back in the afternoon to install the replacement fan. Check your purchases at Home Depot before you leave the store...our Hunter Fan was definitely returned by a previous customer and then put back on the shelf. The Company and installer handled the job very efficiently and professionally and we would highly recommend."

"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.

"Justin did great job, intalled the hookup and the transfer switch for the portable generator. Worked in freezing temperature outside. The only downside was that the install was postponed few times because he was waiting for the parts"

"Aubrey is great. We set an appointment which he was prompt for. He estimated the time which he was also right on the money, and the work was done neat, clean, and everything tested perfectly. This is the second time I have had him do some work for me and will call him for anything else electrical that I have."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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.

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.
