"I contacted the online company Angi to find a technician to service an oil furnace that was not working in a second a home I own. This property is not commercial or being rented. Angi gave our contact info to Village Heating and Cooling LLC. Village came out on Friday 10/25/24. I was contacted by village they would be there at 11:00 They were about 6.5 hours late. After inspection of furnace he said it was non serviceable. He recommended installing a new ductless system. Said if he installs new system we will not be charged for service call. Over next two months we conversed mainly thru text messages about numerous set ups to meet our climate needs. It took a while as this system can be up up 4 times more costly. I told him I wanted old tanks removed along with boiler. Mike agreed. We agreed to leave the piping for radiators in place. Mike also said he would clean up wiring in basement and first floor. That was to include updating any knob and tube wiring in basement and for all electrical receptacles on first floor. Also move already in place air conditioning system in master bedroom. We agreed via text messages of a 75 percent down payment on 12/17/24. Within 3 hours Village sent a worker to my primary residence to pick up a personal check for 15,000 dollars for down payment. I was still at work and was never able to sign an updated version of any type of contract. They said work would start on 12/19/ thru 12/21/24. Check was cashed the next morning 12/18/24. No work was done those days. We only have an invoice saying we gave a deposit of 15,000. A formal contract was Never presented, discussed nor signed by any party involved. We agreed to resume work after holidays. He suggest 01/13 thru 01/16. No work done 01/13 or 01/14 Village says they can come out Friday and Saturday. 2 hours work done on 01/15. Village dropped of some materials, carried them up stairs and left. On 01/16, worker shows up for 2 hours. No work done because tools did not work. No one comes out on 01/17 and 01/18. Village said they can come out the week of 1/20 thru 01/23. Weather forecast has 0 degree temps. I suggest the following week with temps in 40s. Village says thank you and schedules for 01/28 thru 01/31. First day Village was there for 1 hour to fix a pipe that broke because it froze. Second day no work. Village showed up at 12:45 on third day for 2 hours. No one comes out on fourth day. They suggest Saturday along with Monday and Tuesday, All 3 days no work is done. During 16 days Village said they would come out to work, they only showed up 4 times. Less than 7 hours total was worked. Two of those hours nothing was completed because tools (pump) did not work. One hour on 01/28 was to fix a pipe that froze because of no heat. Currently, Village is demanding balance to be paid in full before they will continue work. I contacted Angi's List's resolution department on 03/03/25. Complained about lack of work being completed and about our 75 percent down payment agreement not being honored. A formal complaint was filed. Village agreed to the 75 percent. Village tried to trick Angi's resolution department by saying 75 percent of remaining balance. That is equal to 97 percent of the total invoice. I made Angi's resolution department aware of this. This entire complaint can be verified with text messages and emails between Village Heating and Cooling LLC, Angi and myself."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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. 

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
