"I had Geisler Electric come out to my home a few months ago to repair my electric meter. They were prompt, efficient, and did a great job. Today was not the same. I had Geisler come to her house to fix a few light fixtures, in the bathroom , kitchen and carport. They claimed the carport light was an easy fix. The carport light stopped working shortly after they left. It has to be jiggled in just the right way to come on for a while, which is not safe and should not have to be that way. This obviously was not fixed. All that was done in the kitchen was a lightbulb replacement. They told me the lightbulb I had in there was the problem. That may be correct, but they did not spend one whole hour in my home that I was billed for. In my bathroom, the light had stopped working completely, The electricians said I just needed a new light fixture even though the wiring in my house is about 60 years old. I had a new light fixture in my house and looked around for it, and did not know where it was. As I was searching, they told me they could go pick one up at Ace Hardware real quick. I still kept searching for it, but one of them seemed in a hurry to just go buy it. I felt on the spot and I guess I made the wrong choice. When asked what type of fixture I wanted, I said basic, cheap. Because I also had work on my mind, I neglected to ask what it would cost me for them to pick it up at the store. I live in Junction City , Ace hardware is about 8 minutes from my home , they were gone much longer than need be, and I wondered why it took them so long. I wish I would have asked. I do not believe they chose the cheapest because my billing statement showed $80, plus I was charged a large fee for them to pick it up. In summary they did virtually nothing to the carport light, changed a lightbulb, and spent way too long to get the light fixture. This comes to $385? I feel I was taken advantage of due to my situation. I am low income and I am sure by looking at my home they could see."

The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)

"The man who did the job were awesome. They were very thorough, professional, and speedy. They left our church grounds spotless. I could not recommend them highly enough."

Generator installations FAQs

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:

  • Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000

  • Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300

  • Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:

  • Experience frequent or prolonged power outages

  • Work from home

  • Store a lot of cold food

  • Have a sump pump

  • Have a pump for well water

  • Use electronic medical devices

  • Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
