"Josh Wilder from Roth Home was excellent. He inspected my outdoor faucet to provide me an estimate to get it fixed. During his inspection he determined there was a blockage and had got the faucet operating with running water in a matter of minutes. He was very professional, punctual, and courteous."

We are a woman and family owned company based out of Castle Rock, WA. My husband and I are both electricians with a combined 15 years experience. We strive to provide quality workmanship and excellent customer service to ensure you and your home are well taken care of. We look forward to working with you on your next project!

"This was a new $800,000.00 home We still don't have the house signed off from Cowlitz county planning because of Fusion Electrical Services LLC have not completed it BUT WERE PAID IN FULL OVER A YEAR AGO.My mini split has not been completed in 13 months, my breaker panel hasn't been put back together in a year, I paid parker and alissa in full.The owner Alissa tried to put a protective order against me back in August because I sent her text message asking when will they complete my job. I sent her a correction notice from Cowlitz county planning showing her all the correction needed. The Judge said me texting to get my job done was NOT harrassment. Since then I found out from Feltons HVAC good guys, that the electrical wires that Fusion spliced Diakin says no you can't, that is why my mini split won't work. They cut my new cooling lines I supplied in the kit, they said they had to because the lines were to short. That is not true it's because Parker had no clue what he was doing and didn't install the inside unit first then measure the lines and wires then set the height of the outside unit. We are forced to go back to court in a few months. They received 3 separate violation from WASHINGTON STATE LNI on my new home, now LNI just notified us about some other things. Parker and his company are not licensed to do HVAC work, he said he was licensed and bonded for HVAC he lied, FYI you cant file a lien on thier bond for HVAC even though they did the work and destroyed my install kit for my mini splite, I have a invoices from another company to fix the mess, replace the destroyed kit and complete the job on the mini split for over $5000.00 and for electrical over $5000.00 She won't resolve it I have tons of text messages asking her to just get it completed, she tells me she will jerry rigge it with no new parts, I paid for new I want the job done correctly . I hope this helps another consumer to be protected"

Protect your home from the risks caused by sudden power outages with a generator from Generac, the industry leader, installed by the experts at Landry's Home Energy Solutions. In the event of a power failure, these reliable systems automatically start up, supplying electricity to your home until the local power utility restores service. Permanent installation of a standby generator is not a do-it-yourself project. Landry's Home Energy Solutions has factory-trained technicians who meet Generac's high standards for service and customer satisfaction. Our service professionals meet warranty conditions, ensure safe and proper operation, and are always here to provide Emergency Assistance, 7 days a week. We dispatch technicians quickly, and our team is equipped to resolve most repairs right then and there.

"We contacted Tom Landry for a warranty repair of our brand new generator after being directed by Generac that this was how warranty claims had to be made. He was very friendly on the phone and in person. We discussed the problem with the generator and he implied that he would go to bat for us with Generac's warranty department. He replaced the control panel and left, never once mentioning that we would be expected to pay anything. Within a few hours of leaving our house he sent a bill for a $600 part and $400 labor. I called him and he essentially said, "you didn't buy it from me, I don't own you anything" while refusing to even try to get the repair covered by warranty. He became rude, called me cheap, and threatened to remove the part if we didn't pay the bill immediately. I then called Generac who said that he should have filed a claim for us. We filed a complaint with Generac and are waiting to hear if they will cover the warranty in any way. Bottom line: Tom Landry deceived us, insulted us, and threatened us. He is highly unethical and can not be trusted. Do not do business with this person."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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

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. 

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.
