Report
Very disappointed with the Service Department. I call and paid in full as this is the only way to get on the service list. It took 5 to 6 calls over 3 months to just get a tune up done. I was told ever time someone would call me back to set the appointment. Never got a call till the last call. I was told they are very busy. Just not very good customer service. The tech was great when he finally got here and that is why I give them 2 stars.

I recently had a generator installed. From my sales guy David to the installers Dustin and Mark. A-1 customer service. Communicated and on time. Very professional and a fair price. We are waiting on a power outage with confidence. Ready for the next Big thing.

After 18 months from our initial installation I thought it past time to write a review. Our installation went great. It did take 2 days as we were dependant on gas company to come and inspect connections. All in all great workmanship from start to finish. We signed up for service plan and monitoring as well. Service occurs every 6 months as scheduled. Full inspection along with oil and filter changes are done. Having a PM program in place is important considering the investment. We remain very pleased with our purchase and continued experience with Perkins Generator Company and Service

I was fortunate to have known Chuck prior to contracting his company to provide and install our generator. They communicate well, are curteous and very proficient at their craft. Cody and crew arrived early and completed the install in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them. I don't know how you could find better.

In the aftermath of Irma, our generator suddenly stopped at 8:00 pm after running around 4hrs. We called Chuck Perkins, the owner, who didn't hesitate to respond to our need. He could have said that they would respond tomorrow, in light of the storm, but he sent Josh out who instantly diagnosed the problem. Chuck and his staff understand and deliver exceptional customer service. He also has a great administrator in Heidi, another reason for this superb service delivery. You could not be in better hands for your generator needs. Jim and Scherri Hall
