"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.

"Excellent service and super honest! I highly recommend this guy for any refrigerator and freezer repairs. He gives you total peace of mind because he explains the issue clearly, doesn't make up fake problems, and charges a fair price. He worked fast, left everything spotless, and the fridge is running perfectly now. A true professional, hard-working, and very friendly. Thank you so much for the service!"

"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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

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.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
