With one call you will have your home and family protected with state of the art technology and superior service. Every Colonial Generators generator is meticulously quality tested start to finish. Our engineering team tests each generator before it leaves our warehouse and it's tested again once it is placed in your home. Everything is examined, down to the bolt so you can be sure that your generator will be operational when you need it. Once the generator design passes our inspection, it's ready for production. But before it leaves our factory, we put it through our screening one more time. The result is total reliability. We offer consumer financing! Don't hesitate to give us a call today!

Mark was a great salesman. However, scheduling the install was delayed. Communication was spotty at best. Permits were filed improperly and not followed up on. Inspections were built into our agreement and 7 months later after many months of hounding them, I have taken on the inspections myself. Andre is completely undependable and has lied to me through each phase of the project.

I wrote an earlier and highly critical review. Good sales rep, good product, good installation, but lousy follow up when repairs were needed. Eventually I was able to reach an individual at Colonial who was able to take care of the service problem and repairs were done quickly and well. Maybe more important, I understand there has been a reorganization in how calls for service are fielded that will eliminate the problem I experienced. They responded honestly and effectively to an organizational problem.

We purchased a generator from Colonial. Sales and installation were good. But when the generator malfunctioned and they needed to replace a part the service was terrible. Despite repeated calls for service, I did not get a return call, let alone a scheduled date and time to install the new part. It has been literally 14 days and I have yet to to receive in the courtesy of a callback. It looks like once they make the sale, they don't care much. There is no point in having a backup generator that does not function.

They were prompt on getting out to do the quote. Mark did a good job of detailing what would happen and following up the day of installation. I did have to call them to find out when the generator would be ready to schedule install, and the main cable was cut about a foot too short, but the installers were top notch and got the install done. There was an incident with the first time it was needed, but they PROMPTLY called me and sent the installers back out to check it. I highly recommend (and did so to my neighbor).

I hired Colonial Generators to install a whole house standby generator. They were very professional, knowledgeable. We went with a 22kw unit. The price was great. Colonial made a complicated process very easy. They are very customer centric. One day install. Very pleased.

I had a great experience with Colonial. The salesperson was extremely professional. They opened my electrical panel and ran a load test to show me exactly what size generator we needed. They handled all of the permits and the day of the install the workers showed up on-time, wore boot covers in the house and explained what they were going to do. The installation was from 7AM-3PM. When they were all finished they walked me through the equipment. We used them to monitor our generator throughout the year and we took advantage of the financing. I am so thankful we made the purchase. We never have to worry about losing electricity again.
