# Cape & Islands Generator

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 103 Mid-Tech Dr Unit A, West Yarmouth, MA 02673 · **Phone:** (508) 778-2844 · **Website:** http://www.capeandislandsgenerators.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 2.6/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 5 sources.

## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Generator installation — website describes turnkey residential standby setups
- Maintenance plans — annual and biannual service options are stated
- Barnstable coverage — website states service throughout the county

**Concerns:**
- Service response — 2018 review reports repeated calls and missed visit
- Licence detail — website claims licensing without publishing a number
- Review depth — Google shows three ratings and one dated written account

**Where sources disagree:**
- Google publishes a 3.7-star customer rating from 3 ratings, while BBB publishes an A+ letter grade; these are different measures.
- The website uses Cape & Islands Generators while the BBB profile uses Cape & Islands Generator, but the matching West Yarmouth address and phone support the identity.
