The electrician went to check and stayed at the property for less than 5 mins after confirmation to do full diagnostic of the electrical system. I don't think less than 5 mins is enough to run a full diagnostic and later on advise to upgrade the whole panel."

Since 1996, Ragsdale Heating, Air, Plumbing and Electrical has worked to maintain our reputation as the name you can trust for your heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical needs. Our Ragsdale team is comprised of truly good people, who care deeply and are devoted to taking exceptional care of our customers, our community, and each other. From the people in our office to the technicians out on the road, everyone here is dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction. We are a family who treats you like family, and we are 100% focused on doing what is right every time, every day. Our goal is for you to take comfort in knowing that when you have a problem, Ragsdale is here for you.
"Although the technicians are very nice. As a company Ragsdale has failed us miserably. We spent about 18K to have our whole system upgraded and new insulation in the attic. We followed the recommendation of their sales person to the letter. He ASSURED us that in spending all that money we would not have any more issues cooling our home. Immediately there were more issues. The A/C unit they installed outside dies in 3 days. It was a lemon I guess. And when they went to replace that they also saw that the sales person didn’t notice that the circuit breaker was not the right one to handle the new unit. They had recommended we add new intakes in two rooms so we had done that as well. Like I said we did everything he told us we needed to do to solve any cooling issues. Still two rooms don’t cool well, my office and our master bedroom. We have reached out a few times and they send someone to look. Every time they have different recommendations from a second unit to another thermostat, tinting the windows, keep the blinds closed etc. I have tinted the windows and we keep the blinds closed, but another unit or another thermostat are just not things we can afford to pay for out of pocket. Two times I was told a supervisor would reach out to us but they never did. The guy today, again he was very nice. Said we should buy wireless sensors to connect to our thermostat so it knows to keep cooling. That’s another $100 out of our pocket. He said there should be a second cooling vent in our master bedroom as well. Yet another thing they didn’t recommend when we bought this system that we were assured would be more than enough to cool our home. All these things we would have considered and/or done if we were told they were needed when we spent the money. But the I think commissioned sales person didn’t really know what he was doing now. He was just looking to make a sale and didn’t care wether it actually fixed the issue or not, he got paid either way. Again today I try to call and speak to someone before I left this review. I sat on home for 5-10 min with the recording telling me my place in line and to hold to speak to someone. Just to get the general voicemail to leave a message. We are stuck with them now, they do the warranty work so they do the yearly maintenance to keep the warranty. But I would NOT recommend til his company to anyone right now. They have completely failed us and taken our money without actually doing what their sales person assured us would happen. Very disappointed avoid them for your own good"

"We needed a full renovation of our bathroom in order to accommodate my wife who is physically handicapped and is unable to navigate over ANY barrier in the bathroom. I needed a bathroom that met her needs AND was designed appropriately for use by non-handicapped visitors. Charles from Charles Home Improvement came to the house and truly listened to my somewhat complex needs including a bathroom with no curbs, no shower doors, or walls. After meeting with him he gave me a bid which was most reasonable. The staff he hired to do the floor and wall tile, plumbing, counter tops, cabinets, and doors were very professional. The work was top quality. I enjoyed watching them work each day to accomplish the vision my wife and I had. With GREAT effort they completed the work ON TIME and ON BUDGET! A bathroom that is bright, modern, and completely ADA compliant .... and a bathroom that looks great! Charles Home Improvement is a wonderful company with great people. Without reservation I can give Charles Home Improvement my highest recommendation. Bruce W."

Runtime varies based on battery size and cycling frequency. Most battery backups run for six to 24 hours, depending on battery capacity and pump usage. The system activates only when water reaches trigger levels, potentially extending actual operation time beyond rated hours. For locations with frequent extended outages, consider keeping a spare battery or supplemental power source available.
Yes, most existing sump pump systems can be enhanced with battery backup capability. You'll need compatible components that work with your current setup. Installation involves connecting the backup unit to your discharge pipe and setting up the battery system. Professional installation (costing $45 to $200 per hour) helps ensure proper system integration and safe handling of electrical components.
A battery backup system provides valuable protection for homes in areas prone to power outages during storms. With an average cost of $900, these systems help prevent potentially significant water damage and related expenses. Even preventing a single flooding incident can justify the investment, especially considering standard homeowner insurance policies don’t often cover flood damage.
Regular maintenance includes testing system operation by disconnecting the primary pump and verifying that the backup activates properly. Inspect battery terminals for corrosion and clean as needed. Check battery charge levels according to manufacturer recommendations. Standard batteries require replacement every three to five years, while deep-cycle batteries with proper maintenance can last up to 10 years. An annual professional inspection (approximately $250) helps ensure reliable operation.
