"Josh Wilder from Roth Home was excellent. He inspected my outdoor faucet to provide me an estimate to get it fixed. During his inspection he determined there was a blockage and had got the faucet operating with running water in a matter of minutes. He was very professional, punctual, and courteous."

"I'm selling my house and needed a quick turn-around to get some electrical work done as required by the buyers' lender. It's only been a couple days since I posted my project on Angi and the work is already done. Safety Home Services contacted me right away to get my project on their schedule.

"They did a good job on our installation of a security camera system. What they did very, very badly was create a quote that was way lower than what it actually ended up costing. Beware of this if you are considering using them! They will cover themselves by saying it?s a ?rough estimate? in order to capture your business?but in our experience, they certainly knew how far they were driving (Clackamas to Hillsboro)..yet the travel costs were roughly triple what was quoted. The original estimate to install a camera system that cost $1,500 was $1,850. I was a little shocked at the estimate..but it ended up being similar to the other quote that I received. The actual invoice came in a little over $2800! No warning that it was going to be way over..and they had an answer for everything?kinda like they?d done this before. Again, the work was good, but there is now way I?d ever use this outfit again or recommend them to anyone I know!"

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"We had Don Geyman, owner of DG Communications come to our home to give us an estimate for installing some security cameras around our house. I immediately disliked Mr. Geyman. When telling him that he could absolutely not mess with one of the cords attached to my computer, he started being very condescending and talking down to me, as if I couldnâ  t possibly understand what he was saying. I told him I, in fact, do understand what heâ  s saying but I am saying as the customer that he cannot touch the one specific cord because it doesnâ  t belong to me. Despite this, we paid Mr. Geyman $1955.10 to install these cameras because he demanded payment by check or cash up front. He didnâ  t take cards and would not schedule an installation date unless it was paid up front. Mr. Geyman did not have us sign a contract and did not inform us of any cancellation policies or any kind of fees for an estimate. This is important. A full week before the installation was to occur, we decided to cancel and have someone else do the installation. When I emailed him to cancel, all he said was no and wanted to know if we wanted to reschedule. I emailed back and said no, we are having someone else do it so I will be expecting a full refund. It took Mr. Geyman hours to respond. Eventually he said he would refund us but was going to charge a cancellation fee. Again we did not sign a contract and the paperwork he sent mentioned nothing about a cancellation fee. Mr. Geyman took 10% which was $195.55 for doing absolutely nothing. The refund invoice said it was for his time and administration fee. Had we not paid him up front like he demanded, the estimate would have been free. At minimum this is unethical. There was no signed contract and nothing in the invoice about any fees. Mr. Geyman is not someone you want to work with and best of luck if you want to cancel and get a refund."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.
