Satisfied With the Service
Generator first annual inspection. Technician answered all my questions and appeared to my layman eyes to do a thorough job. He even had to go back to the shop to get a replacement cast aluminum cover because the original had cracked. He was back in no time. All in all I was satisfied with the service. I haven’t received my invoice as of this message.

Great Work
Great job. Showed up on time and started what they were able to do until BE&G showed up to cut power. They waited until the inspector okayed the job before leaving. Our home ran off of the generator until power was reconnected an hour or so later. Great work.
