"Please take my review seriously and consider another service provider for your HVAC, electrical, and plumbing needs. Pioneer Home Services should not be trusted with your most valuable asset - your home. *I would encourage you to take all of their positive reviews with a grain of salt - their techs pressure customers to leave five star reviews before they leave your home at the end of a job. Yelp has much more accurate reviews. My more detailed review can be found on Yelp, Google Reviews, BBB. I spent $60,000 with Pioneer AND paid them for their yearly maintenance plan, only to find out that the work they did was incomplete, incorrect, and dangerous. I had to fight with them every step of the way to get it fixed. I know it can be hard to find a home services company in Nashville, and when your heat or air conditioning is out there?s a lot of urgency to get someone to your home ASAP, but do not call Pioneer."

It's not fun to have a problem with your heating, cooling or plumbing system. Chances are you have been "burned" by a contractor in the past. But at Hiller Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Company, Inc., we do things differently. You see, from the time your call first comes in, all the way until your technician leaves your driveway and we want to make you so happy you will smile, hence our guarantee "Happy You will Be or the Service Is Free!"

"Never came back!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.
