My first dealings with 1st Electric for a Generac full home generator system install. The preinstall and installation itself went extremely well with all persons involved and I was very pleased dealing with this company. I would recommend 1st Electric highly in this regard.

Great experience. The salesman was knowledgeable and not pushy. The installation was completed in one day and the main installer was very knowledgeable.

My generator is crucial to the continuity of my home business and so I appreciate 1st Electric's proactive support. I get a call each year to check it, tune it and replace old parts. The generator has always been there for me as a result. Friendly, professional and high quality service!
