 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jackson was extremely nice and helped with power at an investment home.

His communication was 10/10 and even made some extra calls to an inspector to ensure things were done right and met city requirements. I plan to use again for more services including re-wire and AC.

Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Bosch heat pump unit wasn't producing any heat or air. Called Bigfoot who installed it seven years ago. Landon the tech they sent worked for hours to find a leak. He took apart the outside unit, crawled under the house, and throughly tested the inside unit. He pressurized the system and it stayed sealed.
With no leaks detected  he filled the freon and it's been working great.
Thanks Landon

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed a complicated dryer ventilation system redone correctly.  Original installation was poorly done and did not work well.

Service was fast; the technicians were friendly and enthusiastic; and now our dryer is venting as it should.

Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The guys showed up on time (8:15 am) and went right to work. They worked steady (until 5:30 pm). They were polite and considerate. Not only did they clean up the materials used and discarded from the day, they sweep the staircase and entrance rug. We are very pleased with the service and installation.

Generator Installation & Backup Power FAQs in Central Louisiana

How does a whole-home generator work?

A whole-home generator automatically turns on when your power goes out and supplies electricity to your home through a transfer switch. It runs on natural gas or propane and keeps essential systems like AC, refrigeration, and lighting operating during outages.

What size generator do I need for my home?

Generator size depends on your home’s electrical load and what you want to power during an outage. We perform a proper load calculation to recommend the right size so your system runs efficiently without overloading.

How long can a standby generator run?

Most standby generators can run as long as they have a fuel supply. Natural gas systems can run continuously, while propane systems depend on tank size. Routine maintenance ensures reliable long-term operation.

Do generators require maintenance?

Yes. Generators need regular maintenance such as oil changes, filter replacements, and system inspections to ensure they operate properly when needed. Annual service is recommended for most systems.

How long does generator installation take?

Most installations take one to two days depending on site conditions, electrical setup, and fuel connections. We handle permitting, installation, and testing to make the process smooth and efficient.

Can I install a generator myself?

No. Generator installation must be completed and activated by a certified installation company. Manufacturers like Generac and Kohler require trained technicians with certification credentials to properly commission the system and start the warranty.

Even if a homeowner installs the generator themselves, a certified company is still required to activate it. Without proper commissioning, the system may not operate correctly and the manufacturer warranty may not be valid.

What is a transfer switch and why is it important?

A transfer switch safely connects your generator to your home’s electrical system and prevents power from backfeeding into utility lines. It allows your generator to power selected circuits or your entire home during an outage.

Do generators add value to a home?

Yes. A professionally installed standby generator can increase home value and make your property more attractive to buyers, especially in areas prone to power outages.
