When it comes to electrical services, no one provides more prompt, courteous, and friendly service than the expert crew at Paul Dunn Electrical.

"Paul was knowledgeable and efficient. Took the time to explain how to run our generator after installing a switch on our electric box. Came back to try it out after we bought gasoline for it. He was most helpful and told us how best to maintain the generator as well. Will hire again."

"Our heater stopped functioning on Nov 27, 2023 and we called Petro who had done the maintenance on it before and replaced a motor two years ago. They were responsive and a technician came two days later. He worked for 3 hours without explaining what the problem was. Then said he needed to replace the motor. He fixed the problem and left without much explanation. Two days later a bill of $2500 came via email. No explanation, no break-down. I called 4 times over the last 20 days, spoke to 4 different reps and was promised that a supervisor will contact me with the bill details. Nothing happened. Irresponsible customer service and unprofessional behavior. They show all the symptoms of big, bureaucratic, and indifferent service company. I would not recommend Petro if you have options of more personalized services."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Boston, most generator installation projects are completed within one to three weeks, factoring in the time needed for permit approval, scheduling inspections, and coordinating with local utilities. While the physical installation usually takes less than a day, delays can occur during peak storm seasons or if trenching for gas lines is required. Planning ahead and confirming schedules with your contractor helps keep the process on track.

Helpful?

In Boston, generator installation may involve specialized electrical contractors, licensed plumbers for gas hookups, and full-service generator companies that handle everything from site assessment to ongoing maintenance. Some firms focus on residential backup systems, while others are experienced with commercial or whole-house installations. Choosing a contractor familiar with Boston’s climate and permitting process ensures your project meets local requirements.

Helpful?

For Boston installations, select generators with cold-weather kits and automatic transfer switches rated for local conditions. Use a concrete pad designed to withstand frost heave, and opt for corrosion-resistant conduit and weather-sealed electrical boxes. Gas lines should be installed with materials approved for underground use in cold climates. Prioritizing these supplies helps ensure reliable generator performance during harsh New England winters.

Helpful?

Before installing a generator in Boston, confirm your property’s zoning allows for standby units and check for any neighborhood restrictions. Schedule a site visit to assess clearance from windows and property lines, as local codes may dictate placement. It’s also wise to verify underground utility locations and discuss winter accessibility, so your generator remains serviceable during heavy snow or ice.

Helpful?

In Boston, be wary of contractors who skip a site inspection or provide vague timelines. If a quote omits details about electrical upgrades, gas line work, or post-installation testing, that’s a concern. Also, avoid professionals who lack local references or who can’t explain how they’ll handle Boston’s permitting and inspection process. Clear communication and transparency are key indicators of a trustworthy installer.
