"Alex & his crew at Appalachian Property Maintenance did a fantastic job at replacing my basement stairs & drywall after they had to be torn out for foundation repair. They were able to get to the job within a week and completed the job within a few days. They also did quality work and it cost a lot less than I expected."

"Mark Older did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. He is a licensed electrician, but also very skilled with carpentry and drywall. The job involved removing a wall in the kitchen, with substantial rewiring. He revised and leveled the footprint for the new cabinetry, which he afterward installed. There was extensive revision of the drywall which he seamlessly restored. I am happy to give him my endorsement."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
