Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Cape & Islands Generator. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Cape & Islands Generators is based in West Yarmouth and says it installs, maintains, and services residential standby generators across Barnstable County. Its website describes turnkey placement, setup, connection, annual or biannual maintenance plans, diagnostic testing, oil and filter changes, and coordination with licensed gas fitters and propane providers; it also claims to be licensed, bonded, and insured, but provides no number. BBB lists the matching West Yarmouth business as operating for 26 years, with an A+ BBB grade and no accreditation. The public customer record is small and dated. Google shows 3.7 stars from 3 ratings, while the only quoted written review is a 1-star Google Reviews account dated January 4, 2018. That homeowner said a maintenance-agreement generator was not starting automatically, described weekly calls since late November and a missed promised visit, and said they would seek a refund; the review is specific but nearly eight years old. Before booking, confirm current maintenance response times, who handles service calls, and what the maintenance agreement includes. This may suit a homeowner seeking standby-generator installation or scheduled upkeep in the Cape Cod area, provided the company confirms present staffing, availability, licensing details, and the scope of gas or propane coordination.
Terrible. I have a Maintenance Agreement and I have called weekly since Late November because generator not automatically starting weekly. It’s now January 3rd and I was told someone would come today and that didn’t happen. From what I can tell there’s only one service person. I am going to demand my money back for maintenance I never received and find a reliable firm.
