Description of Work: Installed 45KW Generac generator at office building just 30 days prior to Hurricane Ike hitting Galveston and Houston. Generator failed after a few hours and Jim Fish and his service men failed to get generator operational. We had to go for 10 days without power from our new $16,000 generator. We had to purchase a 5500 Watt generator to keep our server and computers up and running. also had a 25KW Generac Generator installed at my home that need belt and pulley service. Generac factory service men had to service my machine because Fish Electric could not get to my generator. This company failed me and my company installation.

We take all reviews of our services very seriously, whether they are good or bad. The voice of our customers always helps to improve our team. When hurricane Ike hit the Houston area in 2008 it was a chaotic time for the entire city. Unfortunately, there were more Generac equipment failures than we would have like to have seen with some being owner neglected and others with part failures. Jim Fish did go to see this customer in extreme weather conditions only to find the generator had been tampered with and there wasn't much he could do at that point. We were a dealer of choice that Generac technicians operated out of to assist in getting repairs done as quickly as possible. Between our team, the Generac team and waiting on parts from Wisconsin we got to customers as quickly as possible to get their generators up and running. We always strive to deliver 100% customer satisfaction as that is what this company was built on since 1981. Hurricane Ike created circumstances that were beyond our control but we did everything humanly possible during that time to address the needs of our valued customers.

Description of Work: They installed a 22 kW Generac Generator at my house. I am a retired Engineer and have worked with or installed many larger generators for Catepillar/Solar Turbines over a 25 year career. GPS was very professional and their lead technician was easy to work with.

Description of Work: Generator Power Systems performs regular service on my Kohler generator. Their tech was on time. Did a great job. Even took time to answer questions before leaving. The next week I was out of town when there was a power outage. My wife never knew it happened because our generator started and ran flawlessly. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my generator.

Thank you for sharing your comments with other Angie's list members. You have raised a great point for other members and that is once your generator is installed it needs to be maintained properly. Scheduled maintenance by certified technicians is key to years of worry free operation and dependability. Thanks again for your comments...we love hearing the voice of our customers!

They just finished the job on my generator and I had a positive experience with them; there was nothing I disliked about the experience. They always returned my calls immediately, they always showed up on time, and they were always very polite. Everyone on the staff, all the guys who came out, were just decent human beings who would greet me and smile and get the job done without any loud noises or messing around out there. I live in an area where it is always a problem getting permits and what have you in a timely fashion, but they continued to do whatever they could do to get the job done in a timely fashion. All I really had to do was call, and if the owner did not pick up the phone he would call back almost immediately. I have no complaints whatsoever with them.

Description of Work: I requested quotes from 6 different companies. Before talking to anyone I did my own research on what generator I would consider and what to watch out for based on other peoples experiences. This company was tied with the company I did pick in everything but price. I'm not saying that their price was bad just not as good. All the other companies were not even in the ball park and when it came to asking Lowes to give us an estimate we never heard from them even after several emails. I didn't expect I would use Lowes but I was wondering about the price.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We enjoy sharing our knowledge about standby generators. In fact, we promote that even if you don't buy from us, call us to get the right answers to your questions. Standby power is relatively new to the residential market and there are a lot of misconceptions about size of generator needed, placement of generator, integrity of installation and a host of other variables. Standby generators are not a plug and play piece of equipment therefore a turnkey installation is usually more than what consumers expect. When selecting a contractor, you should consider more than the dollar amount as the installation is the most critical part of your purchase. Thanks again for your thoughts!

GPS provided the most economical and responsive bid. They took care of everything, unlike the other bidders. Throughout the entire process GPS kept us informed of what they were doing and what to expect, when. They maintained a precise schedule, in fact we moved up certain activities to meet our specific needs. The entire install and training was performed with in an eight day period. The operation training and instruction was thorough. We were extremely pleased with the entire experience!
Description of Work: I took proposals for a 20KW Standby Generator for my house. Scope included pouring a slab; installing a control box, running an electrical line from the generator to the control box, and to the main panel; running a gas line from the gas meter to the generator; upgrading the gas meter (coordinating Center Point to perform the work); start up and test run ; final clean up; and lastly explanation and training of operation of the unit.

I had been reading up on standby power generators for several weeks and decided to go with local dealer (Katy, Texas area) and one recommened by Centerpoint Energy. Contacted three of the companies listed on Centerpoint website; one never called back and the other missed our appointment and never offered to set a new appointment. I contacted Generator Power Systems (GPS) and their rep showed up on time and was there for over an hour discussing where we could place the generator and the different sizes I could use. I ended up selecting a natural gas Generac 22 kw unit, smaller than what I expected, but could still handle the whole house. I was looking for a "turn key" solution with extended warranty and maintenance. GPS contacted CenterPoint for gas, poured the concrete slab and had their own electricians and plumbers run the lines. I just had to be at the house to let people in to do their work. GPS was very professional, called me when the plumber was delayed and explained the workings of the unit very well. I'm sure I could have ordered the generator from the internet for less and then found someone to hook it up, but GPS did all that. They know what they are doing and they did it right the first time. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a professional job done.
Description of Work: Basically GPS did the following:1. Onsite inspection2. Poured concrete slab3. Delivered Generator (about 1100 pounds)4. Installed transfer switch, whole house surge protector and ran wiring to generator (about 80 feet)5. Installed natural gas lines (about 80 feet)6. Coordinated gas meter upgrade with CenterPoint7. Did initial testing and generator startupAnd all through the process, explained to me what all the parts did and how they worked...

Everything was very fine and up front. Everything was done on time and at the contract price. I would recommend them and use them again. They had the product we wanted and the price was fair. It was a fair estimate and a fair price.

Email GPS asking for quote. Jim Fish called me and we set up an appointment to meet. We met at designated time and hammered out the options for the install. Shortly there after (1-2 days) I received a quote. (I got a quote from a competitor as well, but chose Jim's company as I had a better feeling with him). After some consideration, I emailed GPS and asked to proceed with the quoted work. They required 1/2 down for the equipment. The whole process took about 2 week due to some city permit issues, but that all got resolved and the 20kWatt natural gas generator was install, and tested. Jim allowed me to use my landscapers to dig the trenches through my backyard. I believe them to be better equipped to navigate my plants and other delicate items. At one point I phoned Jim that his guys seemed to have finished and left a rock bed in a bit of a mess. He had it all cleaned up next day back to how it was. I might have been jumping the gun on that call.... I was fairly pleased with the install process. It was a bit scary digging up that much of my yard, but it all worked out. I am very pleased with my Generac generator and switch box. Fully automated with manual by-pass if needed. I would recommend Jim Fish and his company to anyone.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with other Angie's members. Since standby generator are not a plug and play device there is some disruption to landscaping. The amount of disturbance is dictated by the length of gas lines to the generator and or electrical lines. We were more than happy to accomodate your request by using your landscapers for excavation as that is what you were comfortable with. Again, thanks from all of us at Generator Power Systems.

They did not install a generator; I did not purchase one from anyone. I thought that they were high priced, and I felt that possibly they were "overselling" size, based on what others I talked with had for generator size vs. multiple air conditioner units. The cost WOULD have been ~ $10+K I WAS impressed by the fact that this is all they do, and so, stock repair parts locally.

Response from Generator Power Systems LLC
Our company is one of the best in the Houston area about sizing generators appropriately and according to the NEC (National Electric Code). We are also a leading Premier Generac dealer with one of the best product mixes in the country because we do size generators appropriately. We continue to see other companies not size generators appropriately and see an increase in generators that are undersized for the application. Undersized generators will not perform during a power outagage. Buyers need to be aware that buying on price versus the correctly sized generator KW will only create a generator failure down the road. The only way to assure that a consumer is receiving the correctly sized generator is to have a NEC approved load calcuation created that shows the consumer what will be powered and the correct amount of KW to handle the load. Permitted areas such as the City of Houston, require a NEC load calculation signed by a Master electrician proving that the generator will only be powering circuits that don't exceed the capacity of the generator. Buyers in non permitted areas should ask for that same NEC load calculation to protect themselves from being sold too small of a generator. Standby power generators are not a plug and play type of device. When you are thinking about standby power consider that you are combining an engine, natural gas and electricity and installing next to your home. Qualified contractors should be selected to perform a professional installation so that you and your family are safe. Pricing of the units vary with each customers unique installation. No two installs are the same. We offer a free site evaluation so that each potential customer is given an approved load calcuation along with a firm quote from our company.
