"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 questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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