"Five years ago, Love Plumbing replaced my hot water tank for around $1050. In May, the tank had rusted out and had to be replaced again. Luckily, it was still under warranty. I called Love Plumbing and they installed a new tank for about $1157. The plumber told us that the hot water tank company (AO Smith) would reimburse me for the cost of the hot water tank and he would submit that paperwork. After a month, I called Love Plumbing to ask about the status. They gave me a reference number and told me to call AO Smith, which I did. AO Smith said that Love's should have used the reference number to pick up a new hot water tank from a distributor at no cost and only charge me for installation, which is not what happened. Instead, Love Plumbing gave me a receipt that said " customer supplied tank, warranty replacement" and then submitted a claim from AO Smith in the amount of $402, which they kept instead of reimbursing to me. I promise you that my 70+ year old mother, who was home at the time of the service because I had to work, did not pick out a hot water tank for a gas home, strap it to the roof of her car, and give it to the plumber to install. He picked it up and then told her that is how they always put it on the receipt, something I doubt is true in hindsight. Clearly the $402 that they received from AO Smith should be reimbursed to me but I have called multiple times since June 7 to ask about it and have been told repeatedly that the service manager, Bobby, will call me back, which he has yet to do. Today I called to ask if Bobby actually worked there. He does! but he was out to lunch (of course). I left a voicemail and asked him to call me after 4:00 to catch me between meetings. He never called. I suspect--and had hoped--this could be resolved quickly with a company I have used in the past but now I have call my credit card company to file a complaint because I have to assume dishonesty is at the heart of the hesitancy to call me back. Obviously, I will never use them again and the people who have listened to me complain for the last week will probably not call either. Never mind the billing error, which is reason enough, they earned an "F" from me because that is terrible customer service. Final note, apparently the plumbers are also commissioned salesmen and will try to up sell you products, which happened here. Did I really need a water heater expansion tank? I don't know but I bought one because I wanted to trust the plumber who said it was now required by code and made it seem like a safety issue. Do I trust that he was telling the truth? How can I...I definitely feel cheated. I recommend steering clear."

"Paul was professional and very meticulous. Initially he came to my home to view the project and gave me a free estimate for the work to be done. I got on his schedule, and he was prompt in his arrival to include calling me once he was about 20 minutes from my house. Paul removed an old vanity light, skillfully patched up the hole and prepped the wall to install two new vanity lights in different locations. By doing this, he had to run two additional lines behind the drywall to provide power for the two vanity lights. The two vanity lights were precisely marked and placed evenly over each mirrow and sink. Paul also removed a wall outlet from the front wall, patched that hole and installed a new wall outlet on the side wall to make the vanity area look the same on both sides of each sink. The new side wall outlet required Paul to enter the crawl space to run a dedicated line up to it. Once all work was complete, everything thing was tested to ensure it was in excellent operating condition and safe. The area was cleaned including the counter space and the floor insuring nothing was left behind for a job well done. My next electrical job, I will definitely call Paul Higginbotham."

"They make life easy and projects exceptional. Grateful to have them in Lexington, SC! We worked with Palmetto Renovations from fall of 2023 through February of this year and we should have connected with their design specialty showroom and staff years ago as our home has never looked better. Our kitchen finally features real stone quartzite with a blend of stunning LVP waterproof flooring, elegant tiled backsplash and an entirely new lighting system from chandeliers to the under cabinet lighting. They replaced a window in the bay area to match the exterior clad. All trim was stained and by the time things were wrapped up, there were no imperfections to even address. It was an experience to brag about."

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
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.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
