I just had my generator connected by Chris Electric. I had several different companies give me estimates. Chris Electric was the best by far. Chris was very pleasant and easy to work with. I felt very comfortable talking to him I and his honesty with his service provided Today, my generator was connected. Three service workers came and delivered the generator and installed it. They were very professional efficient and cleaned up very well. I am not used to having such great service from any company. I am giving them a five star rating. The office staff were very pleasant and personable.
Five stars for Chris Electric! We recently had a Generac generator installed, and every aspect of the project was handled exceptionally well. Their customer service, in-person professionalism, quality of installation, and follow-up were all first-rate. It’s refreshing to work with a company that truly cares about its customers. We highly recommend Chris Electric of Newport, Rhode Island.
