Description of Work: Steve came out to look at our generator, which hadn't been serviced for a few years. He replaced a needed part and we began a service contract. He even had me call the following week to let him know the unit was doing its test mode as it should! Perkins will come out every six months to check inspect/service/test the equipment. Cost is $480 per year (insurance that it will work when needed, as far as I'm concerned!). They assured me they also make 24 hour emergency calls if needed. So far very, very happy with their service and responsiveness!!

We were so pleased with Chuck and his staff, especially Heidi, office manager, and Mark, electrician for our job. The quote included a turnkey job..No need for us to contact a plumber to do the gas hookup . Chuck and his staff were very knowledgeable and professional. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Perkins Generator and Sales. The job was competitively priced; used the best materials (Generac); we were informed as the work was being completed at the next step and allowed input on which electrical lines were critical and needed to be transferred to the circuit breaker box for the generator. They do between 125 to 150 generator installations per year and have been in business for many years. Obviously know what they are doing. So glad we found them on Angie's list. Beverly Manley
Description of Work: Installed a 22 kw Generac generator & switch; rewired to move critical electrical lines to the circuit box for generator.

Mr. Perkins came to the house to evaluate what we needed and quotes a price. After comparing his bid to another we received we selected Perkins to install the generator. The installation crew arrived on time and completed the installation as agreed. All of the people associated with Perkins were extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.

I had an appt to look at getting a home generator installed. While Mr. Perkins seemed very knowledgable, he did make the comment that he "would be happy to come back and discuss it further when [my] husband is home." Comments like that infuriate me! Anyway, we had this appt over two weeks ago. He told me he would be in touch within a few days with a rough estimate. I have not heard a single word. I don't understand companies that just don't get back to you. Needless to say, we will be going with someone else. I don't usually write negative reviews, but I found this very disappointing.

Installation was professional and went smoothly. Each person on the job site and in the office were knowledgeable, courteous and professional and seemed concerned with doing a great job and customer service. Installation was tested and operated properly during a short power outage apparently caused by wind two days after the installation.

Perkins did a great job. They were able to get the installation done quickly, with everything very nicely done. They explained clearly how it operates and, although we have yet to have a power outage, it automatically started last week, as it does every week, for a few minutes to keep it lubed up and operational. I would absolutely use them again.

They seem to know what they are doing and are pleasant to deal with. They are good and do a good job.
Description of Work: I used Perkins Generator Sales & Service. I had a portable generator that did not run for a couple of years so I took it into their shop. They are scheduled to return it today. They had to order a new carburetor for it.

I want to praise the responsiveness and expertise and generosity of Perkins Electric --- especially the person named Heidi. Here is why: We have a large Generac standby power generator in our private residence and this morning we lost power. No bib deal. we've had it for almost 6 years and it always comes on-line when we lose electric power. NOT THIS TIME! After talking with Heidi on the phone, she talked me through several items to check to see if it was something I could remedy myself. Several minutes of trouble-shooting made me realize that Heidi was right in suspecting a low battery even though the generator's own low battery warning LED was not on or flashing. Heidi's patient persistence saved me hundreds of dollars and has gained Perkins Electric a new loyal customer. It is thoroughly satisfying and inspiring to realize that companies like Heidi's workplace still remain.

Perkins Electric installed my residential standby generator several years ago and did an excellent job. They recently performed a regular maintenance under the service agreement. This continuing relationship always reminds me of what a great company they are - professional, friendly, and easy to work with.

Installation of the generator was smooth except for some confusion when they reinstalled my existing surge suppressor and signal bridge in my existing load center.
Description of Work: Deliver, install and maintain a Guardian brand automatic natural gas standby generator. Installation included pouring a concrete pad for the generator, install a higher capacity gas meter, running new gas line to the generator, running wiring in conduits between the generator and new load center and moving sixteen protected circuits from my existing load center to the protected load center. Maintenance agreement includes checking the generator and changing the oil twice yearly. Maintenance is pricey compared to my heating & air contractor who services Carrier branded generators.

The electrician arrived on time and was a pleasure to have in the house. He did his work thoroughly and I was especially grateful that he was able to repair the chandelier for me. Everything works just fine and I would recommend him.
Description of Work: They rewired and replaced the fixtures for four exterior lights on the house and rewired a chandelier after taking it away to have repair work done inside the fixture.

1st class service! Showed up quickly and was totally dedicated to fixing anything that needed doing. I would strongly recommend them
Description of Work: Various odd repairs, but mainly he started with chasing down a wiring problem that came up and caused power to not work in my master bedroom. He went on to fix broken outlets and then changed out vent fans in the attic. He even went to Home Depot and purchased the new vent fans to install.
