Had multiple long (+2 hours) power outages in a year. Last night with new all house generator installed by Deer Creek, lost power. about a 2.5 to 3 second delay and it fired up. Everyone else around was dark. after every thing restarted, I was watching the history channel and opening my refrigerator ( because I can). Wonderful investment! Worked perfectly.

First of all they took months to come out and even the time frame they said they would come out was off by over a week. Then, when they did come out they never called to notify when they would be out. My Generator is No better after they completed than it was before they even worked on it. They claim they replaced the air Filter, but I already TOLD them it was replaced prior to them even coming out. I would NEVER recommend them for doing ANY work again for me or anyone.

I received three estimates to have a Generac 20 kw whole house generator installed at my home in New Oxford, PA approximately one year ago. Brian Samples, the owner of this company, inspected my house and presented me with an estimate that was dramatically more detailed and professional than either of the other two companies. Plus, his price was a few hundred dollars lower. I checked his references and agreed to the work.

A month or two later, Jamie and his crew arrived and completed the installation in a very timely and efficient manner. The final price was exactly as shown on the estimate. Since then, the electricity in our neighborhood has failed twice, for a few hours each time. In each case, the generator kicked in and operated exactly as it was supposed to. Brian and Jamie addressed the few maintenance concerns that I've had with the equipment very quickly. I am truly impressed with this company and recommend them highly if you're looking for a whole house generator.

Installed a standby generator for my parents. Brian was very patient and answered all of my parents questions. Polite service and good attention to detail. On the day Deer Creek installed the generator, the job was completed in one day!

Deer creek did everything like they said they would. we had a thunder storm and lost power from 7pm until 4am. when we first lost power i never got up from eating my slice of pizza. the generator worked flawlessly. it was truely an awesome feeling having everything come on within minutes (including the central air) of the power outage. the only negative is the gas company wants to dig up my front yard to put in a bigger diameter supply line. this will be no cost to me but i feel it isn't necessary.
