HALLIGAN ELECTRIC
About us
Halligan Electric Company is owned and operated by Kenny Halligan. In 1987, Kenny graduated from Bergen County Technical School with training in the Electrical Trades. At that time, he began his hands-on training with various electrical contractors who specialized in multiple aspects of the electrical field. This would prove to be a valuable decision later on. In 1999, after passing the New Jersey Electrical Contractor License Exam, Kenny made the decision to venture into self-employment, applying the hard work ethic instilled in him by his parents at an early age. Over the next twelve years, Kenny has built a customer base that includes hundreds of residential customers as well as businesses including such recognizable names as Benzel Busch Mercedes, Ferrari North America, Shiseido Cosmetics, Smart Car of Englewood, Audi Secaucus and Golds Gym of Paramus.

The generator site was leveled and the generator was placed on a pre-fabricated concrete pad on a Wednesday morning. He and his team completed the generator hookup (gas line and electrical work) on the following Friday with some minor work on Monday. All inspections (electrical, plumbing and fire department) passed with no problems. Once the inspections were completed, Ken came by on to instruct me on the generator and transfer switch and the use of the OnCue remote monitoring software. He did the official generator start-up which served to begin the 5-year warrantee period.
I can't speak highly enough for his team (electrical - Ron and Willie; plumbing - Joe). They were very professional and competent. They cleaned up the premises when they were done.
I definitely got my money's worth for this project! I would certainly use Halligan Electric again and have no reservations about recommending then to anyone.
Halligan Electric is a Kohler Platinum Sales and Service dealership. Everything was included in his quote (except the cost of permits which vary by town and which I paid directly). There were no surprises.
I do recommend getting quotes, but do your homework and understand what you are getting and not getting for comparison purposes.
I received quotes through both Lowes and Home Depot, but their quotes were for Generac generators (engines made in China) and on a gravel bed. Communication with Lowes and Home Depot was terrible. In addition, I did not have much confidence with the Lowes and Home Depot contractors who came to provide the quotes.
Also if you get compatible quotes, ask who is going to perform the installation and how many generators they have installed in the past year. You want a contractor with experience who installs and services a lot generators. Halligan Electric 's business is generators . . . and they install a lot.
The Kohler generator engines are US made and have a 5 year warranty. My generator was installed on a concrete pad instead of gravel. Finally, If you do decide on a Kohler generator have it installed by an authorized Kohler dealer to maintain your warranty.
I highly recommend Halligan Electric, and expect to use them for service in the future if ever needed.
Hope this helps.
Kenny Halligan was very personable, answered all questions and quickly replied to phone messages.
Installation was done as promised and at the cost promised.
Kenny handled all permits.
Installation work was neat and clean and Kenny went over all features of the generator and made sure everything worked as it was supposed to before taking final payment.
If I had to do it over again, I'd call Kenny in a heartbeat. I can't say enough about Kenny's professionalism and personality. Very easy to deal with. No BS.
