"Keep Smiling sent me Roy Wint and I'm very glad they did. Roy installed a replacement ceiling fan as well as four recessed lights. The result of the project is a much better lit and livable living room. I want to extend special kudos to Roy. He was very professional, polite, and friendly. A joy to have working on my home. He went out of his way to avoid creating any holes in the ceiling other than those housing the lighting fixtures. And he also did a safety inspection of my home's fuse box. I can't say enough good about this young man. I'll definitely be calling him the next time I need electrical work done in my home."

"Leyton was fantastic. Arrived right on time(and scheduling was very easy and convenient- got my exact day and time I wanted.) He saw exactly what I needed for installing a ceiling fan, and it looks, and works perfectly. The price was more than fair. Second experience with LBE, and again, 5 stars!"

"Consumer beware!!! This electric company put a lien on my house for work that wasn't completed. They were well aware that the contractor was paid in full and he needed to be the one to pay them but they decided to put a lien on my property anyways instead of taking the contractor to court. The work done was poor quality and they used the wrong rated wires on an outdoor structure. They left our bathroom electrical hanging out of the wall and didn't even put outlet covers on the new outlets. We have been forced to obtain legal representation to get this sorted out, please save a massive headache and money by using any other electric company than dependable electric services."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Buford’s frequent thunderstorms, high humidity, and occasional ice storms make reliable backup power essential. Installers must ensure proper drainage, secure mounting against wind, and adequate ventilation for emergency generators. Scheduling may be affected by spring storms or summer heat. Local pollen and humidity can increase maintenance needs, so choosing weather-resistant equipment and planning installation during mild seasons helps prevent delays.

Helpful?

Before starting generator installation in Buford, confirm local permit and setback requirements, and check HOA guidelines if applicable. Coordinate with your utility provider to verify gas or electrical capacity for your backup power system. Mark underground lines, assess your home’s essential loads, and prepare the site for drainage and access. Vet contractors for local experience and communicate with neighbors to address concerns early.

Helpful?

In Buford, you’ll encounter full-service electricians, generator-focused specialists, HVAC contractors with backup power expertise, and general contractors who manage the entire project. Some are authorized by manufacturers for specific brands. Look for professionals with local experience handling emergency generator setups, knowledge of Buford’s utility connections, and proven maintenance skills to ensure reliable backup power for your home.

Helpful?

In Buford, be cautious if a generator installer offers a quote that skips details about backup power needs, omits required permits, or doesn’t mention local inspection requirements. Watch for contractors who avoid on-site assessments, rush you to sign, or request full payment upfront. Lack of clear communication, no emergency generator experience, or failure to address weather-related outages are also warning signs.

Helpful?

Your Buford home is a strong candidate for generator installation if you have a modern electrical panel, accessible yard space for safe generator placement, and access to natural gas or propane. Homes prone to power outages, especially those with sump pumps, medical devices, or home offices, benefit most. If your electrical system is outdated or space is limited, upgrades may be needed for safe backup power.
