"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."

Completed the work in less than a day with little intrusion into my at home activities. One thing I would add is I wish they had spent a little more time explaining the controls and operation. I still don't know what the one circuit breaker on the outside does or if/when it would be used."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

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.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
