Getting a generator installed, tested and kept running is the work customers most often describe hiring RCA Electric & Generators for. A July 2026 customer detailed trenching, the generator pad, gas, conduit and wiring installation, along with permitting and inspections. They praised estimator Matt, office staff Sharon and Marcia, and technician Josiah, who answered questions and performed the final system test. An April 2026 customer said Casey arrived on time for generator fuse-box work, explained the repair and left things tidy. Based in Mashpee, RCA says it has served Southeastern Massachusetts homeowners and businesses since 1990. Its website lists electrical installation and repair, generator sales, installation and service, EV chargers, panel upgrades and Mitsubishi ductless mini-splits across Cape Cod, the South Shore and South Coast. The company identifies itself as a Generac Power Pro Premier Dealer and Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor. Google lists 147 ratings averaging 4.8 stars. Storm response figures in several dated accounts. A customer writing in February 2026 said they arrived at their Cape home after a blizzard to find the generator snowed in and stopped. Bill arrived an hour after their call, crossed three feet of snow, explained the problem and repaired it quickly. The hour describes his arrival. A separate January 2026 reviewer said they watched an unnamed RCA employee reach a neighbor’s generator on snowshoes, shovel it out and get it running in less than ten minutes. A customer writing in March 2026, after almost five years with RCA, praised its generator sale, installation and subsequent service. They described pre-storm communications, advice during the blizzard and troubleshooting information, and said their own Generac ran for more than four days. Electrical work extends beyond generators: a February 2025 customer said Victoria sent Ben to fix lost kitchen power ahead of a storm, and a March 2025 customer said RCA installed mini-splits in their home. The complaints are specific. In March 2026, a reviewer alleged that services costing more than $400 omitted valve checks and battery care, and described overfilled oil, neglected fuel pins and items left inside units. A February 2022 customer said repeated visits had not resolved a generator problem and response was slow. Another February 2022 reviewer called prices very high. Other customers described prices differently: an October 2025 reviewer called service charges reasonable, while an April 2025 generator shopper said RCA offered the lowest price they found.
“RCA Generators in Mashpee will size the generator based on what you want to power during an outage in your house from various circuits with outlets to garage doors, hot tub, Electric stove etc. and quote a cost.”

Best Around! We are absolutely thrilled by the quality of work, the professionalism, effort and courtesy of the staff at RCA Electrical Contractors, LLC! From the moment we met the estimator Matt, we could tell by his professionalism, knowledge and willingness to answer any and all of our questions that we were hiring a winning team! Sharon and Marcia at the office were always courteous, timely and extremely helpful with all the scheduling, billing and questions we had. All permitting and inspections were scheduled and handled with ease. When it comes to workers.....well, I don't think you could ever get a better combination than the guys who did the actual install. From start to finish, these guys were at it all day long. From the trenching, generator pad and gen install, to the neat, professional gas, conduit and wiring installation these guys were extremely efficient and worked very well together....it was impressive to say the least. The well-stocked company vehicles as well as the installation equipment are clean and professional and the craftsmanship and quality of work is second to none! Josiah the technician was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. He took the time to answer any questions we had. He performed the final complete test of the system and we can honestly say that we are extremely confident and ready for whatever nature has in store for us....you can't beat that! We would definitely recommend RCA for anyone's emergency generator needs.
We had a technician (Casey) from RCA out to our house to do some work on our generator fuse box. Just wanted to let you know he was GREAT! Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He knew what needed to be done and explained it to us perfectly. He was on time for the appointment, efficient, tidy and had the job done in no time. A pleasure to have in our home!
Ryan, the technician, was fantastic. Knowledgeable and gave me great information on how my generator works and what I can do to keep in running smoothly. Highly recommended.
In this day and age, it's rare to experience exceptional service like that provided by RCA Electric & Generators. I've worked with RCA for almost 5 years, and every facet of their customer experience is A+! They have excelled from the initial proposal to sell the generator, the price, the installation, and service ever since. During this year's blizzard, they continued to provide exceptional leadership in pre-storm communications, in-storm advice and guidance, and up-to-date information and troubleshooting for those who needed it. Thankfully, our Generac ran flawlessly for 4+ days and kept my home safe. I could not recommend RCA more highly—thank you, RCA!
For 400+ dollars a service RCA does not check or adjust your valves, they do not test clean or spray batteries, I have found many units overfilled with oil, fuel pins not cleaned or lubed. This is just TERRIBLE SERVICE WITH NO WORK ETHIC. I have seen bottles left inside units, found sets of keys inside units along with tools and many other things! Don’t get scammed!
