Last 6 months: 4 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read Northeast Generator is a generator company, and it says it was founded in 1964 by Louis Holzner as a division of his electrical contracting company. Its website names a service area that includes Bridgeport, Danbury, Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan and Norwalk, and its BBB grade is A+. A recent customer whose generator ATS panel failed 10 days before closing on a home sale said Addison found a compatible unit at a reasonable price and got it installed and tested with a couple of days to spare. A recent customer who was sold a Powerwall meant to work with their solar panels first wrote that the system did not function properly, then updated the review to say that after a lot of troubleshooting the system is up and working, crediting Andrew's follow through. A 2023 customer said a storm knocked out power just after midnight on Christmas Eve 2022, that Northeast Generator was the only company that agreed to come out, and that they came after midnight and got the generator up and running. A 2025 customer said ants got into their generator's control panel, requiring it to essentially be rebuilt, and that when Northeast was done the generator was like new. A 2022 customer described a whole home generator install that involved burying a propane tank, getting wetland sign off and trenching along the side of the house, with the electricians installing the auto transfer switch and doing the cabling. A 2022 customer on the maintenance program since 2014 said a technician knew the spark plug reference number by heart and double checked their work. A recent customer who purchased a $20,000 unit said delivery did not occur on the agreed installation day after being told there was a new project manager. That customer's update says the suggested plumber did not show up on the scheduled date and the shrubs around the new generator were trimmed to a stub without consultation. A 2022 customer said it took 8 months to install their whole house generator and that they had to chase the company continually. A 2022 customer who selected Northeast in 2020 said the generator was delivered 6 months behind schedule, permits were not filed, and a different dealer finished the job. A 2023 customer said work was done outside their contract without approval, costing almost 800 dollars for an oil change and a battery. **Strengths:** - ATS panel replacement — a recent customer said it was installed before a home closing - Christmas Eve call — a 2023 customer said they came after midnight - Control panel rebuild — a 2025 customer said the generator was like new afterward - Complex propane install — a 2022 customer said Northeast handled all of it **Concerns:** - Missed install day — a recent customer said delivery did not occur as agreed - An 8-month install — a 2022 customer said they chased the company continually - Unapproved extra work — a 2023 customer said it cost almost 800 dollars - Powerwall setup — a recent customer needed a lot of troubleshooting first ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Says it was founded in 1964 by Louis Holzner as a division of his electrical contracting company _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://northeastgenerator.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Founded in 1964, Northeast Generator was started by Louis Holzner as a division of his electrical contracti…” - 4.6 stars on Google from 132 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Northeast%20Generator&query_place_id=ChIJCxTHSWwO6IkR8HXedfUyIHM) — “Google: 4.6★ from 132 ratings” - BBB grade of A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/bridgeport/profile/generator-maintenance/northeast-generator-0111-77000514) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - A recent customer said Addison found and installed a compatible ATS panel before a home closing _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21STGFqZFpSbHBLTlZwV1QyNW5hRlo0Ym14WmRGRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x732032f575de75f0!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmRLajdZRlpKNVpWT25naFZ4bmxZdFE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ We have relied on Northeast Generator for 14 years and their service, pricing and fairness is excellent.
