Stand By…Electricity is Coming Back.

A standby generator can energize a Columbus, Ohio area house for days after a blackout.  Electrical power outages are nearly impossible to avoid and they are increasing in both frequency and duration.  Nearly 60 percent of all blackouts are caused by violent storms, but 34 percent are caused simply by equipment failure.

Here are just some of the steps it takes to install a generator in your home –

1.  Install an electrical sub-panel with a transfer switch.

2.  Redirect critical circuits from the main panel to the sub-panel.

3.  Prepare a level concrete base for the generator.

4.  Carefully set the generator on the base.

5.  Run a new natural gas line and tracing wire from the generator to gas meter.

Do you really want to know more, because there ARE more steps?  I think by now what you want to know is whom to call to have a new back-up generator installed in your Columbus, Ohio home.  The answer is the same person that you call when you have a plumbing problem!  That is Brent of Staats Plumbing.  Just keep this phone number handy (740) 625-5284.     

Kitchens…The Center of activity.

A kitchen is a very busy place in the average Columbus area household.  Hooking up a kitchen requires a pro.  It takes planning as well as plumbing expertise.  The garbage disposal, the dishwasher and the refrigerator (any and all appliances) all need to be properly positioned and then hooked up by a plumbing professional.

Take the seemingly simple task of hooking up a refrigerator –

1.  The water supply needs to be shut off.

2.  Copper tubing is then threaded through a hole that must be drilled.

3.  Attach one end of that copper tubing to the refrigerator’s water pipe.

4.  Then, hook up the water valve to the T-fitting.

Are your eyes starting to glaze over?  To properly hook up any and all appliances within a kitchen you call the kitchen appliance installation pros at Staats Plumbing serving Columbus Ohio and the surrounding area.  They know their way around a kitchen almost as well as mom!  Just call (740) 625-5284.
