"We picked Cytech from a listed of recommended AC contractors on Angie's List.  They did have to competitively bid against another contractor.

We worked with CyTech (Leo Cantu) for a couple of weeks hammering out the scope and details for the ac replacement.  They were extremely professional and easy to work with, given the fact that we were developing the proposal remotely (me in  the New Orleans area and CyTech in Edinburg Texas).  They answered all our questions and went the extra step to ensure that we could use the updated electrical system by having the owner personally come to our house and  look at the configuration. They even recommended a LOWER tonnage AC unit after their visit, saving us hundreds of dollars from the previous estimate.

The job itself started on Monday and the crew  performed very well all the while being courteous to my mother.  The crew worked into the evening of the second day to ensure that a minimally operational AC unit was available  to provide  cooled, dehumidified air,  delivered through a few selected vents including the bedrooms.   That was real commitment by CyTech to ensure they wouldn't have to go through another hot humid night.   They completed the balance of the work, including a new duct system by late Wednesday afternoon.

We did have a bit of a concern when looking at the outside condensing unit, based on the dimensions we measured.  I was sure that we did not have the correct unit.   The system was shorter that we had thought, and was definitely shorter than listed in the Lennox literature on the Lennox webpage.  

After Leo followed up, consulting with the owner, we were told that they had installed the latest Lennox unit. The reduced height was the result of incorporating a two deep evaporator coil system, maintaining the radiating surface area, but lowering the height f the unit.    My sister went outside and spoke with the crew. They showed her the new design; I felt much better after that confirmation.

The unit has been operating for just three days, but it has been fantastic.  I especially love the Wi-Fi thermostat that was installed with the unit.  I can see, from here in the New Orleans area, the current status of the unit, the temperature and indoor humidity.  We can change the setpoints from our iPhones!!!...how much fun is that.

I have asked them to proceed to add blown in insulation to the attic documented in a separate proposal.  That work will be done after some minor repairs (shingle replacements) are completed on my mother's house roof.

Five stars rating to CyTech.

"Jim for Donhohues Lightning Rods installed the lightning rod system in my home. When the work was done I was very happy as their installer came as per promised time, and perform the work. Before giving them the work Jim completely sold me their work ethics, quality, and service. There was a minor issue and his team took complete ownership of this issue and talked to me in detail. They provide a very good explanation to satisfy me. I am a happy customer."

FAQs for generator install projects in Elsa, 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
