A 2026 customer said their Generac generator quit after extreme cold weather; they called before the shop opened, the owner answered, and a few hours later his son Gabe arrived and repaired it. B. Washburn Electric describes itself as an electrical contractor in the state of Maine, naming Brent, his son Gabe and the rest of the team, and says it has over 22 years of experience. Brent L. Washburn holds a Maine electrician license, number MS20026518, which is active on the state registry. A recent customer said Gabe listened to their issues, addressed each one, and their solar system is working well for the first time since installation. A recent camp owner reached out late on a Friday night about an inoperable generator and said they were out first thing Saturday morning to fix it. A 2026 customer wrote that the company installed their Generac generator and had since maintained it, installed a thermostat and added an outlet in the basement. A 2025 customer who called for annual generator service said they came home from work the next day to a note on the door saying the service was done, at the price quoted. In 2022, a customer had new electrical service put in and thanked Brent and Caleb. A 2022 customer said the people Brent sent took care of everything in a few hours and the panel looked much better. A 2022 customer who had never used them said they came right down for an emergency. A 2024 customer said they signed a generator maintenance contract earlier that year and got no service and no response to calls or texts. A 2024 customer who asked about wiring a garage and installing a generator said the owner planned to come over on a Monday to talk, then said he was too busy, and a week and a half later they were still waiting. A 2022 customer said you may have to call several times to reach Brent, and called his pricing reasonable.
It's hard to fix someone else's problems but that is what Gabe did. He listened to my issues and addressed each one. He was professional. Courteous and answered/explained my concerns in a way that made me feel listened too. My solar system, for the first time since installation, is working well. I wish we had started with them.
Couldn’t ask for better service, reached out late on a Friday night about my generator that powers my camp being inoperable they replied instantly and were out first thing Saturday morning to fix the issue. Highly recommend these guys!
Yesterday, my Generac generator quit working after the extreme cold weather. I called B Washburn this morning before they opened and the owner answered the phone! He was kind and helpful. A few hours later his son Gabe arrived and repaired my generator. He was a wonderful and knowledgable service technician! He also gave me some helpful tips to keep my generator in tip top condition. I highly recommend B Washburn Electric for your generator needs. I am so happy and relieved at the same time.
B. Washburn Electric, Inc. has been our go-to electrician service for the last 3 years. We reached out to them to install a Generac generator. They were communicative on ordering the generator and how long it would take to receive and install the generator (especially considering it was wintertime!). They have maintained our generator, came out a few days after we noticed our generator had a disconnect somewhere, installed a thermostat, and have been there to add an outlet in our basement. We've had positive experiences with Brent, Ben, David, and others on the team. Each time, we have been home when they have maintained the generator or when we had an issue, but when I walk out, they will show us any issues or things we can keep an eye on. We have always been flexible with their schedule as we understand they work on many big and small projects. We haven't had an emergency, but we do feel they would reach out to us with information or give us other options, if needed. Thank you!
Called to get annual service performed on my generator. Very friendly and helpful. Said they could do this within the next two weeks, which was completely understandable. Came home from work the next day to see a note hanging from my door that the service was completed. Great service and at the price they quoted. Highly recommend B. Washburn Electric.
