"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

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.

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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.
