Didn't install the actual model I wanted but didn't notice the cheaper model until it was too late. Talked with Butch about a RTGH-95DVLN but installed RTGH-84DVLN $500 cheaper unit. So be sure you check all the numbers on your bid lest you receive less than you asked for. My fault!! The install was delayed by 1 week because they didn't get the unit in, I was told the day before they were supposed to install. If I had to do it over I would probable buy the unit from Amazon and pay for installation separately. The 84DVLN was $1044.99 on Amazon and the 95 was $1687.65 so I think I over paid for installation "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/corpus-christi/lamar-plumbing-inc-reviews-2334384.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"GARCIA FIRST IMPRESSION DOOR","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kellie A."},"reviewBody":"He does great work - if you can get him to show up...

Everything is included in box, including the light bulbs.
I went to Wal Mart and they only had the stick lights. I went to Southerlands and they only had the metal case for the fixture. Everything else was to be bought separately. I have no clue what to buy.
Then he told me that whoever I called, them or another company, would come and install them if I had all the supplies.
So, I still do not have my new under-the-counter lights and I need one ceiling light bulb changed.
When I called Scott Electric, I told him exactly what I needed to have done and how soon could he send someone over to do the job. He was the one who wanted to give me an estimate first. Yes, he was very polite. I just never thought I would have someone tell me that I could call another company.
I do have a major job to have an air conditioner installed, a central H/A unit, but I do not think I will be calling Scott Electric for this. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/corpus-christi/scott-electric-co-reviews-5343130.htm"},"position":10}]}

The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)
"The job was beautifully and professionally done. I have a zero scape yard and the gentleman was concerned about disturbing the gravel when putting the rod into the ground. WOW!!!!"

FAQs for generator install projects in Driscoll, TX
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.
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 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
