Report
The entire team at RALCO saved the day by repairing our generator that was no longer supported by and could not be fixed by my previous service company. From Stacey to Jonathan to Josh all were extremely responsive, professional, timely, skilled and diligent. Jonathan even arranged to have the needed part picked up by an employee and fI own out to me. I was so happy I immediately switched my service to them. They are one of my best ever service experiences along with excellent communication. I highly recommend them. David Wroe

Excellent price and service. John was quick with a great quote and flexible on an installation date. The install team arrived on time and worked until the job was done. I upgraded from 100 to 200 amps and the new panel and equipment looks great and professionally installed! Service: Electrical panel replacement or upgrading

Cummins whole house generator installation. Joshua Benoit came out promptly to evaluate the site, was very knowledgeable and offered good suggestions for the install. Generator was on site within a week when other contractors consulted could only offer a four month minimum lead time for installation! Outstanding! Service: Installation
