Reliable Generator

Would Recommend

We purchased this generator a few months ago and find it to be reliable, quiet and dependable. It only runs for 5 minutes once a week when it does its weekly checkup. The last one we had ran for 20 minutes every week. It is comforting to have a reliable power backup with all the outages we have experienced over the last few years.

Great Generator

I have had the generator for a few months now and already had the opportunity to experience using it for approximately 1 hour when our power failed during a storm. I did not even know that it was running or that we lost power until my neighbor sent me a text that they were pouring the pad for his generator that I recommended. B&K Services did a great job with the installation.

I had this installed on the 8th of August 2026. It will power our whole house plus, so far we haven't needed it. It's a great feeling knowing that it's there when and if we need it, and we don't even have to be home to turn it on.

Great warranty and service package

I shopped around for all the different generators and felt this was my best buy. I am 80 years old and my husband is on oxygen all the time. We needed back up power for him and I needed to be sure there was a good yearly protection plan that would watch my machine so I could feel safe. I am very pleased with the machine and the 10 year warranty. The people have been great from the sales team to the company its self.

Bought this generator 4 months ago. It is a standby generator for when power goes off. Only have used it once but it came on when my power went off. Did exactly what it was supposed to do. I have peace of mind that generator will do exactly what I want.

Better Than Generac

Would Recommend

Started by looking at General since they proliferate the market. Then I found out all of the hardware and software problems that they were having. We needed something that was dependable. Then I found out that General used a version of the Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engines which were highly rated. Why weren’t we looking at B & S which is more efficient on NG and quieter? We never looked back.
