A Word From Our Clients

My service professional did an absolutely perfect job of attaching my portable generator to my home. I was with him the whole time and tried not to distract him too much with my questions. I'm extremely pleased with the work and would recommend them and him highly. Hopefully he'll be my service professional whenever I experience electrical problems. His name was Ed; great guy.

Great experience from start to finish. We had a whole home generator installed with a propane tank and each part of the process was handled by experienced, proficient and courteous workers. They showed up when they said they would show up and completed the job in a timely manner. We haven't had to call on the generator for emergency use yet, but it starts up every week on the specific hour for its weekly test run.
