We are a family owned and operated company providing outstanding quality craftsmanship at a fair price for over 30 years. We take pride in every job that we do and will only send highly trained professionals to your door.

"Excellent. Guy determined exactly what we needed with efficiency in mind. Chad and Austin did a great job with the installations, which were not straight forward (especially the two circuit box replacements). Job went very smoothly, especially after having a false start with another electrician. Would recommend Top Dog whole heartedly and will use them again in the future."

"If I could give less than 1 star I would. Here’s my story….Moved to Florida 3 years ago from the Northeast. Needed a generator so I narrowed it down to 2 venders from Google reviews...Reliable Power Systems and APS. Prices came in about the same, sales people were both likable, it was a coin toss who to use. I chose poorly. It took 8 months to get my generator installed (COVID shortages, not Reliable’s fault). Reliable has a nice on-line system where you can check the status of your install through the whole process. The installation went smoothly - so no problems there (although, they did leave a bit of a mess in my garage, made some holes in my drywall that they wouldn't patch etc. but no big deal). After the install, I immediately sign up for the yearly maintenance agreement with them. Fast forward 8 months later and here’s where my problems start. I have 10 guests visiting me and staying at my house (of course this is when I have problems) and one morning the electric in the kitchen, the hot water heater, the a/c and pool pumps aren't working. The circuit breakers appear all fine and everything else in the house is working. I notice blinking lights on the generator module and so I call Reliable. I explain what’s going on, I tell them I have 10 house guests. Reliable tells me they can’t make it out to my house for 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS. I’m like, how is that possible? It’s March, it’s not even hurricane season. There hasn't been any storms, it’s literally a normal time of year. I tell them I have a maintenance contract with them. They don’t care. TWO WEEKS. I ask to speak to a manager. Two hours later the manager calls me back, says he can fit me in the schedule in 6 days. SIX DAYS (which is 2 days after my guests will have left). Now, what the Reliable manager doesn't know is that in the two hours time between my first call to Reliable and his return call to me I have called my electrician in a panic. I have 10 house guests I can’t cook for, who came to Florida and now can’t use the pool or hot tub, and it’s getting warm in the house. My electrician says “Reliable is the worst, call APS”. So, I call APS. Now, I am not APS’s customer. I did NOT just spend $40,000 with them 8 months prior to purchase and install a generator. In fact, I’m the one who asked for a quote and then didn't even use them. I am no one to them. What does APS tell me? “We’ll be out in an hour”. An hour later they arrive, 15 mins after that they have re-booted my module and suggest that if it happens again that they replace it. APS’s technician had come to my house, fixed the issue and left before I even got a return phone call from Reliable’s manager telling me that he “could fit me in his schedule in 6 days”. I explained to the manager that I had called his competition and that they had already come out and fixed it. The manager told me that “Reliable has a lot of more important customers that take priority over you, like hospitals etc and we always service them first.” Ok, Hospitals are important. But six days in a non-emergency time of year to get a 15 minute repair? How long of a wait will it be during hurricane season? And no customer likes to be told that they basically aren't important—especially after just spending $40,000. I tell the manager this, and that I’m going to leave them a bad review. His reply “We have lots of good reviews, one bad review isn’t going to hurt us”. Hmmm. Are you getting a clear picture of what kind of company Reliable Power Systems is? Do yourself a service and hire Assurance Power Systems from the get go. I now have my maintenance contact with APS and they have continued to provide me with excellent and timely service."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
