I guess this Company is good if you can get a hold of them. I called twice over the last month and was told someone would get in touch with me but no one ever followed up. Spending $10K+ on a new generator, you would think someone would give you a call. Going with RC WATT instead, they are much more responsive.

Had my generac 13kw installed today. The crew was very polite, very professional and answered any questions I had. Was very pleased with their installation work and how quick they got the job done. Will recommend you to anyone I know who's looking to install a generator. Thanks for a great job and well done.

What the two electricians did well: They installed the basement outlet in the basement and wall switch with no trouble. Though I expected the bathroom ceiling fixture would need replaced, it turned out I had used two bad light bulbs to test it. It was working fine. The employees could have told me it needed replaced and I would never have known better, but thankfully they didn't. But much more was downright poor customer service: 1) The employees didn't use drop cloths, and left without cleaning up their messes. In the bedroom I had to vacuum a substantial amount of plaster from all over the carpet, and wash a bedspread. In the basement I had to vacuum up shavings they left behind including what lay on an amplifier, TV, and DVD player I use when working out. When I questioned it, the boss told me not cleaning up by these employees had happened before, which I presumed meant several times. Turns out it was only once before; and yet he even though he said he yelled at them, he said he "wouldn't fire good electricians just because they're messy." Messiness wasn't the my point, it was the not cleaning up. I told him that I felt part of being a good electrician was cleaning up any mess you make. 2) After the ceiling fan was installed, I pointed out it was making noise Hunter fans aren't the least bit noted for. Both electricians told me that some ceiling fans don't run silently, especially newer models, and both of them had ceiling fans in their homes that didn't run silentl. They suggested I buy a balance kit at a hardware store to see if that might help. A balance kit was included with the fan, but they didn't even try to apply it or let me know it was there, instead telling me to go buy one. 3) They took the fan box with them, including the balance kit mentioned above, as well as any directions, paperwork, and warranty information. I did get the box and stuff back, but only after I complained. 4) I called Hunter about the noise. The representative who took my call had me rotate the blades with no power going to the fan. The noise persisted, which to her suggested that the motor was about to fail. She reported that the model fan that was installed was just as quiet as any other Hunter fan, contrary to what the Woodhyrst employees told me. 5) I was charged $65 for "materials," yet the receipt I asked for showed the employees had spent $46.58. When I questioned the costs, the supervisor/boss told me it included materials "on the truck," and that there was "a 10% markup when employees have to go to the store to get materials." The materials from the truck were not listed, and the I was not apprised of the 10% markup fee until after I complained about the discrepancy. 6) The employees purchased 25 feet of NMW/G wire at $24.99, used less than 8 feet of it, then took the remainder away with them even though I was the one who paid for it. When I questioned it, I learned they'd reported there was only "an arm's length left over." There was at least 17 feet left. 7) The supervisor did offer me a refund, which I declined. I wasn't looking to be placated financially. Worse, in the middle of my trying to explain where I felt wronged, he laughed at me. He actually laughed at me. So I requested a refund for the hidden/undefined costs and a pro-rated amount for the leftover wire that was removed from my house without my permission. I requested a check for $35, which he agreed to. Over a week has passed and I still don't have it, and don't expect to get it anytime soon. 8) This may not be important, but the invoice was dated 6/23 instead of the actual date of work, 6/24. I can in no way recommend this company.
Description of Work: Based on a recommendation from a neighbor's son, I hired this company to replace a bedroom ceiling fan, repair/replace a wall switch and ceiling bathroom light fixture, and upgrade/replace a basement outlet.

The electrician was friendly, efficient, and after about 15 minutes, my home's electrical system was protected. The only issue was some confusion when it came to scheduling, but Woodhyrst was quick to apologize for that issue, and to reschedule. Kudos!
Description of Work: As per the Angie's List deal, the electrician came and installed a whole house surge suppressor.

Description of Work: I ordered an estimate for whole-house generator through Home Depot. The provider called to schedule an appointment and left a message. I returned the call, but the lady who handles appointments was not in. Approximately two weeks later, they called back. I asked a for Saturday appointment, and was advised that would require a different estimator, who would call me. That was approximately two weeks ago, and, again, I did not hear back. I am guessing they do not need my business . . . nor does Home Depot....

Response from Woodhyrst Inc
This customer required a weekend appointment and we only schedule non-working hours as needed. The original salesman has small children and has to make special arrangements for someone to watch them. The salesman who normally does the weekend appointments was on vacation for two weeks, and when he returned, he called this customer to try to schedule something. When he got a hold of the customer, he didn't want to continue with the sale. We tried to make him happy by offering free service or special discounts, but he was not interested. We tried to save the sale, but you can't change some people's minds.

They arrived on time, introduced themselves, explained what would happen, and were respectful explaining all they were doing. They spent most of the day installing the electric, digging out the plot then hooking into the propane. Really impressed with their workmanship and efficiency. Highly recommend!!!

Description of Work: Good work on the Install of my new Backup generator and it works fine. |Ancillary service support for online alerts and call back by In-House customer service manager is just average and sometimes below average. |That being said, I would use them again because the install was done in an exceptional manner.

1. Sales person came to the home and quoted. Scheduled install 2. Install happened within the expected window even given hurricane Sandy hit the East coast and took the electrical transfer box we needed from Woodhyrst's supplier. Woodhyrts obtained the transfer box in another creative method for my install. 3. Tech's came on time; left on time; no surprises 4. Follow up call to install my indoor monitoring system for the generator. Tech's were on time; did a proper job; again, no surprises. 5. I paid the quoted price in full 6. End of story.

Work was performed on schedule with good quality. Acted as general contractor to have the gas line tested and connected. Generator has worked well for over two years, and unfortunately, used on several occasions including a week in winter. I have a maintenance agreement with them for the generator. I would recommend the product, and their services to anyone.
Description of Work: installed a 10kW NG generator and auto-transfer for the whole home (single story ranch with basement; well water) to existing electrical service.

They were good. They're price were really good for what we wanted to have done. As far as the work, they came in and they had part of our power back on half way through the day and they had the rest of it on before they left that evening. They had to come back out to test the generator after the propane company came and tested out. They came out and did everything.
Description of Work: Woodhyrst Inc came out to rewire our whole panel box, they upgraded our service for 200 amp and they wired the generator that we order for the full house in January this year.
