"Time will tell if i get my money's worth. (sooner or later I'll lose power and see how well it works.) The installation went smoothly and appears to be well done. pro: The installers were professional, knew what they were doing, and explained what I needed to know to operate the system. con: I was promised a secondary sump pump in the quote. The installer was not told and when he took a look at the sump well and told me there wasn't enough room for the backup sump. The bill was properly reduced. The generator can be connected to the cloud for remote monitoring. I was not informed of this capability and setting up the connection was not included."

"The house was purchased in January 2013.  We called four contractors and and Norb Miller was selected,  based upon his estimate and how he inspected the house and offered solutions.  He began work in April 2013.  As demolition was underway we experienced a need to change original outline of work on kitchen flooring as well as in other areas of the remodeling work. This increased the cost of the the original estimate.  His expertise and on how to approach the work was right on target.  He understood at what level we wanted to maintain the remodeling work. 
The house needed major upgrades to meet code and it was done well and met final inspection.   Mr. Miller did many additional pieces of work to improve the situation that went above and beyond estimated work.   A fire wall was required in the basement for the garage and he finished both sides of the wall.  Another example of above the effort was with the installation of the wall between the kitchen and living room.  He heard me say that I did not like the open room concept because of noise and the house had a two-story entryway so sound can carry.   He installed the wall and to lessen the noise added insulation to the wall to reduce sound between rooms.   This wall also required an extension to meet the new kitchen design.  His team installed all the kitchen cabinets and appliances and took care of issues regarding any damaged material.  He added decorative headers in the hallway to define it, etc.  Mr. Miller quickly learned the color scheme and I let him choose the tile for the back splash in the kitchen and for the tile around the fireplace.  He handled overseeing the installation of a new gas fireplace in the house and coordinated the installation with the provider.  He took on little things to make sure the house would stand against the elements.  For example, there was a downspout that ended on the deck, Mr. Miller, made sure the spout drained through the deck and away from the house.  He saw that a gutter needed to be replaced on the back of the house and did this work so the integrity of house could be maintained.
Working with Norb Miller was very easy.  The main thing about this renovation/remodeling job was that it was done from a distance and he guided me in what needed to be ordered and when.  Periodically I would meet with Mr. Miller at the site to go over work and next steps, but I could confidently walk away and know the work would be done.  We communicated by telephone and email.  He really cares about his clients.  For example, I needed to order two light fixtures for the kitchen.  I found a style I liked, however, the store did not have two of the same, so I ordered my second choice.  When I met with Norb, the lights were up in the kitchen and I just mentioned that I had originally picked  some others, but could not figure out a way to get them since the pick-up store did not have two.  When I saw pictures of the kitchen on Angie's List, I saw the lights had been changed to my first choice.  Now that is above and beyond--but it is consideration and understanding of a client.  He suggested storm doors for the house and I let him make the selection because I knew he would make a sound choice.  He has a good understanding of his clients and is able to  ascertain their likes, dislikes and does not offer solutions that are out of line, but are good and functional. 
Mr. Miller has been back to adjust items as we have found them that were part of the job and has done so to make sure the job was done right.
We would definitely use Mr. Miller's company again.

"Gave them great review but won't know for sure if they got the leak until we get another good rain. They tested it with water hose and no leaks, did the job quickly and professionally. Would hire again."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

Sewer ejector pumps need to be cleaned at least once a year by a professional. You shouldn’t attempt to clean it yourself because it can release sewer gasses that are toxic to humans and can be fatal. But to keep the system as clean as possible between professional inspection and cleaning services, be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing items that can clog the system, like paper towels, grease, oil, or menstruation products.

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

There are a couple of similar alternatives you may consider for a sewage ejector pump, including a grinder pump or a submersible sump pump. Submersible sump pumps protect your home from flooding from outside water, though, rather than handling wastewater from inside. A grinder pump macerates, or shreds, solid waste before pumping it onward to the sewer line.

Several indicators suggest it's time for a sump pump replacement. A key factor is age; if the pump is over 10 years old, its lifespan is likely ending. Performance issues are also clear signs, such as the pump running constantly, cycling on and off frequently, making unusual noises or vibrations, or failing to function at all. A faulty or burnt-out motor is another definite sign a replacement is needed. Additionally, if you notice any signs of incorrect installation, the pump should be replaced. For a definitive diagnosis, a vetted plumber can assess the pump and confirm whether a replacement is necessary.

3/4 HP is stronger than 1/2 HP. Horsepower measures how much weight can be moved and how fast, or the power needed to move 550 pounds one foot in one second. 1 HP equals 550 foot-pounds per second, so the higher the horsepower, the heavier the load it can lift. While 1/2 HP is a standard, powerful option, 3/4 HP has the extra strength to handle heavier, larger doors with ease.
