"The contractors from freedom heating and Air were very fast and efficient with their work. They came in and took a look at what needed to be done. Took about 5 to 10 minutes to go get the equipment they needed and in less than a hour they were done. My wife and I are very pleased with the choice of hiring them to fix a leaky pipe that was leading to our gas furnace and the price for doing the job was well in our budget."

"I had an excellent experience working with this company from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and truly cared about providing quality service. They communicated clearly throughout the entire process and made everything stress-free and easy to understand. What stood out most was their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction. It’s hard to find businesses these days that genuinely go above and beyond, but this company absolutely did. The work was completed on time, exceeded my expectations, and the quality was outstanding! I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and professional service.

"Kenneth Wynn came to install a generator transfer switch box inside my house and a plug for outside. He was very professional and was training two younger guys who were very nice and courteous. I was thankful that the Lord had put me in contact with somebody that I could trust! I would definitely call him again for any electrical work that I might need in the future."

"Barry mows and blows our lawn about weekly.  On occasion I have asked him to plant a few things, remove some walkway bricks to the basement door area.  He is always cheerful and willing to help.  He has won the business of several of my neighbors.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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.
