"I started my Angi project to do 6 fan replacements + 1 new fan install where a lighting fixture is hanging. The person who came in to do the consult and look around quoted me very high price. When I shared that their cost is higher than the standard Lowe's fan installation cost he was appreciative of me sharing the information and said that he will consult with his manager to get us a better price. In the end, the price quote I got was slightly higher than Lowe's. If you are looking for handyman type of work or anything small, Angi is not a platform to find the person. That is what I have learned from my first 2 projects at Angi. I took 2 stars away because Angi platform did not create a good match and secondly the price quote is the highest among all the pros Angi matched me with hence I did not go with these guys."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.
