"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. Kevin arrived as scheduled and was very quick and thorough with the GFCI replacements and other items on my list. As a bonus, he identified and clearly labeled all the switches in my breaker box.

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

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

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.

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.
