"SUMMARY: HIGH QUALITY WORK WITH LARGE PRICETAG. Corley plumber arrived on time. Their plumber was polite and offered several options for the repair. The repair was completed correctly and in a timely manner. Work area was cleaned after plumbing work was completed. No problems with the repair since it was completed which was several years ago. In short, I would give them FIVE STARS FOR THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK. I would hire them again in an EMERGENCY (which is why I hired them for this work; the usual plumbers I use were unavailable), but NOT for non-emergency work. My reason for not wanting to use them for routine work is that their prices were OUTRAGEOUS and I'm not a miser (this is why I removed one star in my rating). The few replacement parts needed would have been nominal cost at a plumbing supply store. That means their labor was $200+/hr for installing compression fit connections which is even easier and quicker than gluing PVC pipes together (no heavy lifting; nothing complicated; easy access to pipes). I've had other plumbing jobs that were too big for me to do. I've found competent plumbers that do a great job (quality like Corley's) for half the price if you are willing to wait a day or two. Lesson: Instant gratification has a high price tag. FYI: They will charge for the cost estimate if you don't have them do the repair."

"Had original part of our 1965 built house rewired and grounded and a new bath fan installed and vented. Jerry and Joey were personable, , knowledgeable, hardworking, and kept us informed on what they were doing. We regained the use of several electrical outlets and a non-working light switch and peace of mind in having electrical safe and grounded.. They had to navigate a very low crawl space to do some of the work. All for such a reasonable price that I wish we had done this years ago! Thank you HomeAdvisor for helping us find Peco!"

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.

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.

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.

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

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
