I had a generator that needed repair and Salvatore came out and took the time to see what the issue was with the generator and did not stop until the generator worked. While at my house, I showed him where the generator hooked up to my breaker box. He told me that the connection was correct and a safety hazard. When he dropped off my repaired generator, he fixed the incorrect configuration and added in an interlock panel. After he was done, he showed me how to use the generator and new interlock panel.
Communication was efficient, transparent, and educational.

Had service issues with the supplying generator maintenance service. Reached out to Salco and talked with co-owners Maia and Sal. They answered all our questions and concerns and offered 3 different service plans. Because we had significant issues with our generator in 2024, we choice the quarterly service where they remotely monitor our generator 24/7. Then physical come out every 3 months to ensure that any potential issues are caught early and corrected. The cost was identical to our previous 1 time per year physical check.
Highly recommend that you give them a call and let them explain their 3 plans to care for your generator.
Details: Fixed • Emergency backup
