Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read Riley Electrical's website says it provides generator sales, installation and service across Connecticut and Western Massachusetts, from residential standby systems to large commercial solutions. Its Connecticut electrician licence, ELC.0121935-E1, is active on the state registry under the name RILEY ELECTRICAL. A recent Google customer had a whole-house natural gas standby generator installed and praised the job. A 2026 customer said Riley Electric replaced their whole-house generator with a new natural gas model on time and on budget. That 2026 customer also wrote that Dan came out on a Saturday in freezing cold weather to do the final setup because a big storm was due the next day. A 2026 reviewer wrote that Mike serviced their generator, cleaned it and made sure it was running properly. A 2026 customer said a technician performed the first annual maintenance of their unit, an oil and filter change covered by the original purchase. The work goes beyond generators. A 2026 customer who found water coming out of their panel said Riley came out immediately and came back the next day with a new panel, arranging the inspector to be there. In a 2024 review, a customer wrote that Dan Riley showed them their propane delivery system was not big enough, showed the math, and put load management into the plan. A 2024 customer wrote that the company installed a whole house generator and a new electric meter for them, and that Dan the dad and Dan the son are the owners. A recent customer was happy with the installation but said they never got the free first-year service call written into the original contract, and that a request to connect the unit to wifi was never followed up. A 2024 customer said the work fell behind schedule and that updates were lacking while they were out of the country. A 2024 reviewer wrote that a project was delayed well beyond the schedule and communication was poor. **Strengths:** - Generator installs — a recent customer had a natural gas standby unit installed - A next-day panel — a 2026 customer got a new panel after a leak - Load planning — a 2024 customer said Dan showed them the math **Concerns:** - A missed service call — a recent customer never got the free first-year visit - A schedule delay — a 2024 customer said the work fell behind schedule ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Connecticut electrician licence ELC.0121935-E1 is active on the state registry, holder RILEY ELECTRICAL _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT electrician license ELC.0121935-E1 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: RILEY ELECTRICAL” - The company says it provides generator sales, installation and service across Connecticut and Western Massachusetts _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.rileyelectrical.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): When the power goes out, your home or business shouldn’t skip a beat.
