"10 yr old Generac GP6500E wouldn’t start. Called around and many want to upsell to permanent. Found Franks and what a delight. Honest, down to earth, affordable for senior. Showed up on time. Changed oil, spark plug. Pulled carburetor and found it dirty and fouled. Got used one from his shop(same day) and installed. Gen started right up on one or two pulls. Battery was dead but showed us how to replace. Highly recommend Frank’s Generator."

"Great! Matt and his guys did a great job removing and installing 4 ceiling fixtures. I purchased the fixtures but didn’t realize one came with a broken socket. The guys didn’t give up they were able to repair and install. They are polite clean and prompt. Will hire again. Thank you"

"I hired Kyle to install the electric for my pool. He grounded the pool, installed an electrical timer for the pool pump, breakers for the circuits, and installed an outlet. I liked the quality of the work so much that I hired him to replace a GFCI outlet in my kitchen and an exterior outlet on my house and then hired him once more to install light fixtures. His prices are fair and his finished product is meticulous. If he tells you that you need something replaced/repaired he is not saying it to make money, he is saying it because the repair/replacement is necessary for safety or code purposes. I would hire Kyle again for any of my electrical repairs/installations."

"Installed new boiler, indirect hot water heater, and rebuilt our well water system adding conditioning and softening. We have acidic well water that has been a problem. Now, everything has been corrected and works great. The new boiler is smaller and quieter. Very professional and completely trustworthy."

"I contacted several local companies when I wanted to get estimates for central A/C installation. I heard about JSP through the list serve at my place of employment and since the review was very positive I added them to my list. Four companies came out, one company never returned my calls to follow up for the quote, another suggested a system that I knew wouldn't work in my home (not enough attic space) and two companies followed through. JSP was one of those companies and what made the difference were the following: 1) JSP stands behind it's estimate and product. Your installation won't wind up being $1,000 more because of X, Y & Z - when they give you an estimate - that's the estimate. 2) They are THOROUGH. Not only did the technician take time to ask my my needs, my family's lifestyle and walk through and around the outside of my home - he thought about aesthetics as well. 3) The estimate is provided on the spot, hand-written, and explained in detail in case there are any questions. You don't have to chase them down to get the estimate or ask your last minute questions. 4) They are meticulous. Before beginning work they send out someone to do a walk-through to make sure every i is dotted and t is crossed BEFORE work begins. 5) Staff. THIS is where I cannot say enough. My situation was not the normal situation of someone calling to have Central A/C installed - there were extenuating circumstances and Ellen not only listened but she remembered, EVERY time that I spoke to her. I called JSP in February so the timing wasn't urgent and I made it clear that I had time . . . if Ellen and I went three weeks without speaking because of vacations, holidays, or because I just didn't get to it - she remembered me as if we had spoken the day before. I didn't feel like a "customer" - I felt like part of their family, as corny as that sounds. My calls were answered the same day, even if they weren't pressing and even after 5 pm. John, the owner, came out himself and spoke with me about my options as I looked to finalize what was discussed in February. I've never had such amazing customer service for something household related. You'd expect that when going to a spa, a hotel or buying a car - but in this case, they went above and beyond. I really cannot recommend JSP enough. If you want to work with a company that cares about your needs, preferences and your family - they're the ones to go with. If you don't care about service or follow through then you can go with anyone - but I truly believe JSP has the right idea about customer service and I hope they continue to grow as the good guys should. *No, I am not related to anyone nor did I know anyone at JSP prior to calling them for an estimate!*"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

New homeowners in Poughkeepsie should begin with a backup power assessment to identify critical circuits like sump pumps and heating. Choose a generator location that meets local setback rules and minimizes noise. Select a fuel source compatible with NY’s supply options, and ensure the system is sized for your home’s needs. Prioritize installation before storm season and set up a maintenance plan for reliable emergency power.

Helpful?

In Poughkeepsie, generator longevity relies on proper sizing for local power demands, weather-resistant placement, and secure anchoring against freeze-thaw cycles. Ensuring adequate ventilation, following local electrical codes, and using high-quality transfer switches are crucial. Regularly scheduled maintenance and prompt attention to any emergency generator alerts help your system withstand NY’s unpredictable weather and ensure dependable backup power.

Helpful?

After completing generator installation in Poughkeepsie, confirm all inspections are approved and utility connections are secure. Test your backup power system under local weather conditions, record serial numbers and warranty details, and notify your insurance provider about the upgrade. Establish a seasonal maintenance schedule, especially before winter storms, and keep a log of all service and emergency generator test runs for long-term reliability.

Helpful?

In Poughkeepsie, signs that generator installation may need to be redone include persistent power interruptions during outages, unusual vibrations, or visible corrosion from humidity. If you notice strong fuel odors, improper exhaust venting, or the generator struggles during NY’s cold snaps, these are red flags. Frequent system alarms or inconsistent backup power also indicate the need for a professional assessment and possible reinstallation.

Helpful?

For generator installation in Poughkeepsie, keep a digital multimeter, torque wrench, and battery tester for routine checks. Stock up on oil, air filters, spark plugs, and cold weather aids like block heaters and de-icing spray. Fuel stabilizer, surge protectors, and cleaning brushes are essential for backup power maintenance, especially with NY’s variable climate and frequent power outage solutions needed.
