Fixed Generator Installation
The generator is a piece of junk. So is the shabby shed that was built around it. The project has been going on for more than two months now the work is not finished and the generator does not work. I would not dare to use it anyway, that's how bad it all looks. The workers that were brought in to help are not licensed from what I heard. I paid $3000 as a first payment. The total price would be $9665. I am at a point now that I contacted other electricians to get this project done. I still think that Chris, the electrician, had good intentions but that does not make the generator useful. I probably even have to pay to get it hauled away. Overall it was a very bad experience.

Generator had a oil leak, and I had to take it to a shop for seals and an oil line replacement plus when checking motor he cracked the air mixture and I had to buy a new one at $540.

They tried to increase the agreed upon amount that was unjustified. The owner did not check his employees work. Heir equipment wasn't in working order

It was more than installing switches, etc. Wind damaged 10 ft. conduit which he replaced and installed and secured to a 30 foot post and he re-secured electrical panel. All this outdoors in spite of the gusty wind and rain. Just he and 1 man, all done efficiently and prompt. Look no further than Cotter Electric!l

We had been having problems with a GFI and circuit breakers. He showed up right away, located the problem and was able to get us back up and running in no time.

Very professional. Worked well and completed all of my solar needs. I would hire Chris again if the need comes up. Chris came out again the next day to check on a small problem I had. He even went on my roof and scrubbed the shingles. Wow, I am extremely impressed with his customer service! I will always recommend Chris in the future!

The electrician arrived on time and completed the work in a very professional manner. He did a little extra work for which he made no charge. I will certainly use this company again as the need arises.

Chris was prompt, professional and explained our problem and installed a safety outlet because it was located near the sink. Very pleased.

Chris arrived as scheduled (on time!). He was efficient and had my fixtures installed and was able to correct an electrical problem outside withiin his estimate for this project. There was a little insulation left in the laundry room and outside in the driveway which I cleaned up. Other than that everything was great! Would definitely reccomend him to others
