ALP Systems, Inc ., would like you to ponder something... Picture what lightning damage looks like. A broken tree on top of downed power lines, a burnt up TV, A blackened AC unit with melted wires. Horrible, yes, but lightning doesn't always directly hit your property. It's easy to cross your fingers and hopes it doesn't burn anything up because the percentages are against a direct strike happening. ALP Systems is the world leader in lightning protection with over 30 years in the business. With ALP on your side, when you hear thunder, you know you're saving money. Visit our website for more information www.alpsystemsinc.com or our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AlpSystemsIncorporated/

"Hired Smith&Keene to rpl (cosmetic reasons) 2 faucet fixtures & pot filler in my home.This service was HORRIBLE!I held out on this review b/c the repair guy knows where I live but after this lastest experience I had today with a home warranty repair that they did NOT repair during service call b/c it still wobbles & now leaking through my ceiling i have to report this company. The plumber was so filthy (I was his first appt that morning) that he left his dirty spots from his body all over my walls in my brand new home (2021). He wasn't going to clean it up until I pointed it out to him. You can still see the stains. I had to so much cleaning up after him it was the worst experience I've ever had. He also did more talking than working as if I wasn't paying him buy the hour. Only hired Smith/Keene b/c they built my home. Now today when reporting a toilet leaking through ceiling of my garage, they refuse to fix it when they are the cause of it leaking since they did not fix it when I reported the loose toilet to builder (KIRBOR) 4 days after moving in. Now both KIRBOR & SMITH/KEENE are denying that they are responsible. When you shimmy a loose toilet & it still wobbles it's NOT fixed! I have submitted records/pics of the original request but S&K states they do not have record of them coming out and Kirbor will not cover the repairs. HOW CONVENIENT FOR SMITH & KEENE AND KIRBOR. S&K will not be getting my business any longer for any future work on my home. I don't care that they assisted in the build of this home. Buyers beware of KIRBOR Homes and Smith & Keene for plumbing issues. They both half a** their work, don't repair things when reported and conveniently deny record of things. I would not ever use this company or refer them to anyone."

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
