What Our Customers Say

I’m writing this review at 1:34 a.m. on Wednesday 9/28/22 with hurricane Ian about to make landfall in a few hours. The reason I’m doing this now is that Gabe Dunlap, Director of Operations, and two of his amazing electricians , Colton and Ryle are just wrapping up an emergency service call to ensure I have standby power in advance of the hurricane.

Michael C.

Colton came out and checked that my generator is working properly and he didn’t just look at it press a button and say yeah it’s good. He tested everything and ran through steps a company that installed my service never did.

Jake P.

We reached out to Gabe immediately and he said that they would be willing to let us have the two transfer switches we had been waiting on for months to ship in. In a time where most dealers are forced to hang on to every product and accessory not knowing when the next delivery will be made – the generosity and professionalism that was shown was amazing.
