Cape & Islands Generator, based in West Yarmouth, says it installs and services standby generators for homes and properties across the Cape. Its site offers free estimates and says the company is insured, and its BBB page is an A+. The one written customer account is from January 2018, and it is a complaint. A Google reviewer with a maintenance agreement said they had called weekly since late November because the generator was not automatically starting its weekly run; by January 3 no one had come, despite being told someone would arrive that day. The reviewer wrote that it seemed there was only one service person and said they would demand their money back for maintenance they never received. Google shows 3.7 stars from 3 ratings.
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
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.
