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.

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!
