"They were fantastic! They were polite, fast, organized, good clean up, and explained everything. The quality of the generator looks durable, and could last longer. They are the only company who told me that the generator needed to be serviced for every 2 years instead of every year. They also installed it on a stoned pad instead of a concrete which saved me a lot of money. The piping inside of the house was a flexible steel coil. They also do service calls."

The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)

"The job was beautifully and professionally done. I have a zero scape yard and the gentleman was concerned about disturbing the gravel when putting the rod into the ground. WOW!!!!"

We are a residential and commercial electrical contractor that provides quality work at an affordable price with over 5 years of experience. No job is too big or to small. We pride ourselves on 100% customer satisfaction by standing by our product and making sure you have the best possible experience. Call us today!!!!

"We’ve had Twin Tiers Electric at our home more than a half dozen times over the last few years. Beyond knowledgeable and skilled workmanship they provide great communication, flexible scheduling, and on time arrival. They minimized the impact their work had in our home and left our home as they found it (maybe better?). They also offered suggestions for alternatives to the work we had asked for safety or to prevent problems in the future. What more could we ask for? But where they really shined was one occasion where we had a so-called lost neutral…a situation in which the voltage at an outlet can be very low to twice the normal 120 volts. We damaged a few appliances before we knew something was wonky. We were lucky we didn’t suffer any injury or cause a fire. The folks from Twin Tiers came out immediately. First they located the source of the problem as the underground cable between our house and the connection with the power company. They arranged for a generator to provide minimal power to our home to keep our refrigerators and water well pump running so we could remain in our home during the repair. So thoughtful! They had to excavate a trench, lay replacement conduit and cable, and backfill. Throughout the work they handled all the communication with the power company to disconnect us from the grid, inspect the work, and reconnect us. Finally they provided the necessary documentation for our insurance claim. They were at our house for over a week from dawn to dusk even through a holiday weekend. What a great work ethic! The service from Twin Tiers is everything we could expect and so much more!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

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.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
