"I needed my master bedroom ceiling fan replaced since the fan motor burned out. ZNJ sent two technicians out promptly and they were able to remove the old ceiling fan and light kit quickly and got the new fan and light kit I had purchased installed. The fan I purchased had a couple of â quirksâ in the mounting, but the ZNJ techs were able to solve the problem quickly and the new fan and lights look lovely and are working perfectly. The techs were very courteous, did an excellent job, cleaned up the work area, took the old fan and light kit with them, and removed the box and packing for the new fan which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely be calling ZNJ in the future when the need arises. Well done!"
"After cleaning & sanitizing, one of the air ducts was emitting particulates. We demanded that that the contractor return & redo that particular air duct. Also, the stand to one of the roof-mounted condenser units was obviously mounted crooked. The contractor & owner returned to correct the problem. StarTech accommodated our schedules and installation preferences & completed the project on time. However, since the installation it seems that StarTech has been nonresponsive or slow to respond to certain items of concern. Items of concern: 1) StarTech for the longest time did not provide us with a final invoice detailing the items/services purchased along with the maintenance agreement. It wasn't until the first cold weather when we weren't able to turn the heat on, that StarTech sent a technician. I reminded StarTech of the invoice & finally one was provided to us. 2) Early on, the switch to one of the condensate pumps would be stuck in the "On" position and I was concerned that the motor would over heat & burn out. My call was to StarTech went unheeded. 3) The location of the condensate pumps interfere with the routine maintenance of cleaning of the filters. When I explained this to the HVAC technician, he said that he would acquire some materials to install longer hoses & electrical cords that would allow us to safely move condensate pumps out of the way during maintenance. To date, this task has not been accomplished, nor have we been contacted. Summary: StarTech completed the project satisfactorily and accommodated our needs. The company's lack of attention to details & lack of customer service resulted with us giving the company this average rating."
No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.
In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.
Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
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.
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.
