Cape Cod Independent Power

Cape Cod Independent Power is a Mashpee-based company that sells, installs and services standby home and small-commercial generators, primarily Kohler models today, across Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts. The company was started in 2005 by Lester Wade and has been owned by Nick Betti since 2017. Recent reviews describe a consistent installation process: a gas crew and an electrical crew working together to complete a whole-house generator in a single day, sometimes ahead of the original schedule. Customers name specific staff, including Nick Betti, Julie, Tony and Amy, across years of reviews for staying in touch and following up after the job. One customer with an 8-year-old Kohler generator on a long-running service contract described a technician, Mike, getting a storm-affected unit running again quickly. Another described the crew finishing a generator install in one day despite high winds, prioritizing a household running medical equipment on limited battery backup. Not every account is positive. A 2025 review says the company let a signed preventive-maintenance contract for a Generac generator sit for four months before telling the customer it now services Kohler units only. Two older reviews, from 2013 and 2014, describe an unfinished annual-maintenance visit and a disputed warranty-repair charge, both predating the current ownership. Google shows 5.0 stars from 112 ratings; Angi shows 3.7 from 12, weighed down mostly by those older complaints. BBB lists the company A+ (not accredited) but describes it, in what reads like outdated category text, as a 'Guardian' generator dealer, while every other recent source, including the company's own site, is Kohler-specific. One record item needs a caveat: an expired Massachusetts electrician license tied to this record traces to a name, George T. Wiggin, with no apparent connection to Cape Cod Independent Power's known ownership or staff, so it should not be read as this business's own credential. Confirm any licensing directly with the state before hiring. This looks like a fit for a Cape Cod homeowner or small business wanting a full-service standby generator install with responsive follow-up, especially anyone already set on a Kohler unit. Anyone still running an older Generac system should confirm directly that ongoing maintenance is still supported before signing a service contract.
