"I paid them to install three ceiling fans for my porch, and 2 stopped working within 6 months. They came out and identified that the installation was done incorrectly (the wires were twisted) so another installer came back and disconnected the two fans, and promised to return to complete the job. I've sent several texts and have heard nothing from them... Pretty lousy customer service, now I have two useless fans."

"HLS's president and installer Tom Sansone singlehandedly confirmed that experts who demonstrate exceptional customer care and superb performance do exist. Even if finding good pros wasn't such a futile exercise, Mr. Sansone is by far the best contractor, installer, business with whom I've dealt within the past 10 years, and that is no exaggeration. In terms of cost benefit of buying the system and his installation service? By comparison to everything Iâve bought and had installed since buying my house in 2014, I'd consider what HLS provided me may have been undervalued, because it's so vastly better than anything I have ordered, bought or had installed or done for any reason in more than four (maybe 10) years. My new commercial grade security camera system is so perfectly user friendly that it's like watching an HD TV with a DVR that does what you want). HLSâ owner installer tech Tom Sansone also instilled hope that a good, hard work ethic is not an elusive sentimental dream or unsatisfiable expectation. His work was so careful and response to my security needs that his work was exacting, clean, professional and so orderly that it replaced my miserable mess of wires, tape, broken and malfunctioning devices and system that had been rendered junk by intruders. Everything HSL installed and the base station was secured with a locking box and cooling system. His camera positioning and functionality were spot on and I now feel safer and more aware of my perimeter. My old, funky, fuzzy compromised Zmodo system has been replaced with a commercial grade wired, DVR system made by DAHUA Technologies, a wired DVR system with such clarity and functionality that I feel privileged to have it. HLS quality surpasses that of any product installation Iâve had in a decade. He faced a mess by the previous installer whose work pretty much mirrors the standard around this part of South Carolina, that being poor quality materials, spliced and black tape connections, loose and nonworking cameras, inaccessible remote viewing or backup records. I could never access viewing remotely resulting in persistent repeat burglaries and thefts rendering me practically uninsurable. As such, a reliable, highly functional system is imperative for my and my propertyâs protection. I now feel more secure and more capable or responding to the ravages of a predatory, drug-infested theft-riddled society sparing no one. Further, I donât have to fume on hold in auto-prompt limbo trying to get help with my system, I have Tom Sansone to call if I need help with my system. I never have been more thankful or satisfied for any service, and I have gotten service that directly and critically enhances my very personal safety. (THANK YOU, HOME ADVISOR!!!)"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Charleston, SC
A standard electrical meter riser replacement takes an average of two to three hours for the actual installation work, though the entire process may span a full day. This timeline includes coordination with your utility company for power disconnection and reconnection, the physical replacement work, and any required inspections. Weather conditions and permit processing can affect the schedule. Plan for a day without electrical service while the work is being completed.
The homeowner is responsible for maintaining and replacing the electrical meter riser and related components on their property. While your utility company owns and maintains the actual meter and the service lines leading to your home, everything on your side of the connection point—including the weatherhead, riser pipe, and meter base—falls under your responsibility. This division means that when damage occurs or upgrades are needed, the homeowner bears the cost of replacement.
Yes, your power must be disconnected during an electrical meter riser replacement. Since this work involves your home's main electrical service entrance, the utility company will need to disconnect power at the service drop before the electrician can safely begin work.
This outage lasts for several hours while the replacement is completed and inspected. Make appropriate arrangements for perishable food items and consider alternative accommodations if the weather is extreme.
If you're simply replacing a damaged meter riser without changing your electrical service capacity, you can often keep your existing panel. However, if you're upgrading from a lower amperage service to a higher one, you'll likely need to upgrade your electrical panel as well. Many electricians recommend evaluating your entire electrical service during riser replacement, as combining these projects can be more cost-effective than completing them separately.
