What North Texas Homeowners Say About Our Generator Installations
Real reviews from real customers — Generac standby generators, transfer switches, and generator maintenance across Collin County.
I needed an electrician to install a transfer switch for my generator. James came out personally to make sure that ABR understood the scope of the project before giving me a quote which was very reasonable. Communication from the beginning to the end of the project was great. The final installation was executed quickly and perfectly. I am very pleased with the quality of work Jason provided.
Installed a standby generator at our Plano home. From first contact to final inspection, the experience with ABR was excellent. They were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the process, and communicated well — including being straightforward when there was a small hiccup. We appreciated that they fully managed the plumbing sub-contractor. Highly Recommended!
Used these guys to install a generator at our home. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We’ll certainly call them for future electrical needs!
ABR came out and installed a transfer switch for my generator. I would highly recommend. Their price was certainly more reasonable than the other electricians I called. They even installed it in the freezing weather! Thanks again guys!
Tech Jason went beyond the call to revive our aging generator which required a new battery and a tuneup. We’ll now use ABR for future generator maintenance.
Have had ABR come and do a few projects, including a generator install. Their crews are top notch, and the work is quality and clean. Highly recommend.
ABR installed an interlock and 50A power inlet for a portable generator. Also installed a whole-house surge protector. Communication was excellent, work quality was excellent and they left my home spotless. Will definitely use them for all future electrical needs.
I have used them for several years now at multiple houses. I have hired them for panel hookups, ground wires, wiring in a large shop, several large circuits, rewiring, generator and ATS hookups, shutoff switches, lighting, and many other very large jobs. I’ve never had any problem. One job the inspector even told me to tell my electrician he does excellent work — among the best he had ever seen. The prices are so fair that I don’t even bother getting other quotes anymore.
