Rod's Electric works on generators: its website lists home standby generators, repair and warranty, installation, transfer switches and portable generators. It holds 3.7 stars from 23 Google ratings. In a 2026 review, a customer whose whole-house generator failed to switch over during an outage said Kevin stepped through the possibilities, found the generator control board at fault and replaced it, then showed them how to test power failures at the automatic transfer switch. A 2025 customer said Rod's sent an experienced tech who fixed a failed part, made valve adjustments, fixed an oil leak and did the yearly service for about 350 dollars, after a replacement had been quoted at around 16k. That 2025 customer said an earlier yearly service, by an inexperienced young man, had left the unit with an oil leak. A 2025 customer said the company came out two days after a call about a generator that wasn't working and got it running. In a 2023 review, a customer said Rod's serviced a generator that another company said needed to be replaced. A 2022 customer said Rod's came out within a week for a site evaluation, set an install date within a month and arrived right on time. A 2024 customer of 12-plus years of generator service called the owner very rude and insulting. A 2024 customer said a woman on the phone yelled after a communication error on the company's part, and that the owner, though calm, was like talking to a brick wall. A 2024 customer called the staff highly unprofessional and said the company can't deliver on time. In a 2023 review, a customer said the company couldn't get a generator for a year, and added in an update that if the company doesn't like your review, it won't service your generator.
When we bought our property, it came with a whole house generator. We'd been getting annual maintenance from Dirfy's for the last few years. Last November, the power went out, and the generator failed to switch over and provide power. Dirfy's tried to fix it, but couldn't. Our neighbor suggested Rod's Electric, so we called in March. Kevin came out, and I was very impressed with his debugging. He stepped through possibles, and determined it was the generator control board, which he then replaced. All good! He also showed us how to test power failures at the automatic transfer switch, which we appreciated. Kevin knows his stuff! Also, when I call the office, someone answers, which is much appreciated :-)
Bought a house and Rod's was the name on the list of contractors for the generator so set up a yearly service. Got a young man who was polite but obviously inexperienced. Left the unit with an oil leak so not very happy. Fast forward two years. We experienced a failure with a part on the generator so called around for a replacement and it was like 16k (10k for installation?). Called Rod's and they sent out an experienced individual, very knowledgeable, fixed the part, made some valve adjustments, fixed the oil leak, did the yearly service and the generator runs great. Very happy with service. The price was reasonable at about 350 dollars. Person who answered the phone was polite and professional and the tech showed up in a day. Recommend that if you have new people send an experienced person with them to eliminate the first type of experience. Highly recommend Rod's for professional and fast service.
They always call first! Give us the best service and talk about our annoying dogs lol thank you Rods and Connor!
We called because our generator wasn't working. They came out two days later. Very nice and helpful. He had the generator up and working in know time. Very happy with their work and professionalism.. I will be calling next year for annual service.
Very rude and insulting owner after 12 plus years of servicing our generator.
