Great equipment, great support
November 6, 2023 by Keith
We have had our generator for about 11 years and we are extremely satisfied with the equipment and the support provided by Charlottesville Generators. Our system is serviced/checked every 6 months and our generator has been available every time we have needed it. We really like having the generator available on demand. Thanks
Topnotch!
November 3, 2023 by Kim
I can't say enough about Charlottesville Gererators. Very impressed with the prompt, professional service I received for my whole house generator. Not only did they perform the work efficiently and affordably, but they also provided education on how to maintain the best performance for the system. I am a very satisfied customer!
Extremely Responsive and Professional
November 2, 2023 by Mitch
This company was a recommendation by several of my neighbors. All of the work was completed in a very professional manner and I\u2019m quite pleased with Charlottesville Generators. I would highly recommend them.
The service was professional, knowledgable and informative.

Called to request service for my 20KW home standby generator, received a quick response with a scheduled date for the work. The tech was on time, performed the service timely and did a through test of the system.
Highly Recommend Charlottesville Generators Inc
October 31, 2023 by Missy
Charlottesville Generators Inc is a family run business that takes pride in their work. They pay attention to every detail that will prolong the life of your generator. Their service people are highly trained, friendly and professional. You can trust what they say. Great service at a great price!
Excellent Service
October 28, 2023 by Hookville
I needed service to fix an over-crank fault problem on an out of warranty non-Generac generator that didn't have local dealer. Eric researched the brand and likely sources of the problem and promptly scheduled an appointment. Within 30 minutes of arriving he solved the problem and got the generator working as good as new. He also checked my oil, air cleaner, and other generator functions, but only charged for fixing the over-crank problem. Charlottesville Generator was referred to me by neighbors and I will continue to use them for all my generator needs.
Great service
October 16, 2023 by Gray
Late on a Friday afternoon responded on-site within 30 minutes and took care of issue. Service after the sale has been excellent with generac. Saved me from a weekend of partial power.
Quick service
October 3, 2023 by Beardy
Requested service on our generator as it's been awhile since the last check out. They came out, looked it over and replaced all items that needed to be replaced. Very through explanation and knowledgeable
Highly recommend!
September 25, 2023 by SB
Eric and his team are fantastic. He did not install my gen but stepped in to service it. He found a wiring issue and repaired it. Cville Generators will be my dealer going forward for maintenance and support. Highly recommend!
Very satisfied with Charlottesville Generators
September 25, 2023 by Jay
Marc and Eric were both very professional and explained everything before I made the decision to purchase. And after installation everything was explained again. I look forward to them servicing my generator with the maintenance contract.
The Generac Relationship
September 14, 2023 by SCW
You need to be able to count on Generac. For me that means counting on my relationship with Charlottesville Generators...and I do! The installation and education process were managed exceptionally well. Knowing that I have a team I can count on and that I will get their attention when I need it...this means everything to me. Eric took me through the generator operating system, and I have his cell phone going forward if were to need him in an emergency. Charlotte Generators gives me the feeling that they really know their products and that they really care about and appreciate the relationship they have with me as their customer. If you are looking for the the safety and surety of the Generac brand, and if you are looking for a trusted, valued partner for sales and service, Charlottesville Generators is the right choice.
This dealer is the best!
August 31, 2023 by Judid
Charlottesville Generators proved to me that their customers always come first. They are professional, kind, proficient, and most of all, honest -- they can be trusted. I highly recommend this dealer.
Best dealer and crew ever
August 31, 2023 by Hector
Eric and son were very professional and easy to communicate with. The work was done as discussed with no hidden fees. They took the time to explain how the generator worked and explain the maintenance schedule. Eric also provided additional phone numbers to contact him if needed. The best part was his price which was over $2000.00 under the competition. I\u2019m very pleased with Charlottesville Generators and I highly recommend then.
Excellent Dealer and Service
August 26, 2023 by DogKeeper
If you are looking for a superb experience with a Generac Dealer look no further than Charlottesville Generators. They have installed and serviced our 4 generators for us and we elected to have them provide us with a service contract. When we had a problem with one of our generators Eric came out the very same evening and got us up and running! I HIGHLY recommend them for residential and commercial.siturations. You will be very happy with their service.
Professional, efficient, honest
August 22, 2023 by Justin
We have worked with other companies that took one look at our generator and said we should just get a new one. Charlottesville Generators came out, assessed, and worked on our generator without trying to upsell us. Now it works! We will certainly continue to work exclusively with this company.
Honest, prompt, great service!
August 17, 2023 by Jim
I have had my Generac serviced by this company since moving into our home 7 years ago. At that time I new nothing about generators. They have been patient and very helpful through the years with all my questions. They have been prompt, professional and courteous each time they have serviced the machine. I highly recommend them.
Charlottesville Generators is great
August 17, 2023 by JD
From installation to routine servicing to repair, this company has been great to deal with. I recommend highly.
Easier Than I could Have Imagined!
August 15, 2023 by Johnny
The entire process was amazing! Easier than I could have imagined especially considering how difficult it had been finding other companies to respond in the past. Dan and his team were amazing, knowledgeable, friendly and made the entire process enjoyable. I highly recommend!!
Excellent Service
August 4, 2023 by Frank
I was experiencing significant difficulty with my generator. The team from Charlottesville generator were very helpful and stayed with me throughout the problem-solving process. They were always on time, knowledgeable , professional and considerate. It was the best service experience I can remember. I would definitely recommend this team to anyone. Many thanks to Eric Santana, and all his crew.
Highly Recommend!
August 3, 2023 by Nicky
The home we purchased already had a Generac generator installed and the prior owners were long standing customers of Cville Generators. I spoke to Eric on the phone and he answered all of my questions and was able to get me scheduled within one week. For the service visit he was extremely professional, highly knowledgeable and spent the time to explain things and teach us about our system. He also didn\u2019t try to run the bill up and no hidden fees. Their pricing was very fair and their service agreement makes the annual service a great deal. They feel like an old school family business that does things the right way. Overall I couldn\u2019t recommend them enough and am extremely happy for the referral! If you work with them you\u2019ll be in excellent care.
This dealer is great !
August 2, 2023 by Rose27
I was having an issue with the generator turning off quickly after a power outage and was unable to restart it myself.I was referred to Charlottesville Generators, Inc. Eric returned my call within an hour of my calling and then came out the same afternoon to service the generator. He took care of the problem and explained in detail what had happened. He is very professional, personable and knowledgeable. I will recommend him and his company to my friends & neighbors.
Awesome Dealer!
August 1, 2023 by Angie
Super responsive, honest, friendly, very knowledgeable and does great work. I definitely recommend Charlottesville Generators!
Great service!
July 6, 2023 by CMR
My generator turned ten this year, and I'm delighted to have this company as my new service provider. Very responsive, and they really took time to talk to me during the appointment. Very happy and now have a service contract that I can rely on. Thank you for a great experience.
Charlottesville Generators team is Amazing!
June 27, 2023 by EM
I had a Generac installed by an Electrician several months ago. The Electrician and his team are great at providing for my electrical needs but are not Generac authorized dealers/installers like Charlottesville Generators team, so I have run into some significant issues.
Awesome
June 23, 2023 by Noonan
Efficient, effective, informative, friendly, professional, highly recommended. Hands down the best generator service we have ever had
definitely recommend Eric and his crew at Charlottesville Generators!
May 9, 2023 by JT
Responsive, good follow-up, friendly, helpful, can't think of enough good words to describe this company. Besides the fact that they fixed my problem, they also explained why it had happened and what they were doing to take care of it and their price was very reasonable. Thanks Eric and all!
CALL THEM FIRST!!! DON'T GET JUST AN ELECTRICIAN!
April 19, 2023 by ValorieLynn
Definitely call Eric at Charlottesville Generators to install and/or service your generator! Do NOT get your electrician (even if they swear up and down they CAN install a generator...like ours did)! We bought our generator over a year ago and Eric JUST got it working after nearly a year of dealing with our electrician! Our electrician installed improper wires and didn't connect the proper wires...which eventually caused out starter to burn out...then we had to get a new starter...during the whole process, the electrician didn't disconnect the battery so when it ran its test, it drained the battery...so we had to get it charged...and THEN we had to buy ANOTHER battery (they aren't cheap). I think you get the picture!!! it has been a nightmare! Thank goodness Eric & his crew have a very thorough knowledge of the entire process and they were able to troubleshoot. They were very quick and got everything resolved. VERY grateful and we highly recommend!
Great Service

Charlottesville Generator returned call within 1 hour came out first thing the next morning to diagnose our old system. They offered many options to proceed with it. We decided to replace our old unit and they were there 2 days later installed. Showed up on time completed earlier than they first quoted. Don't go to anyone else or you'll be disappointed. Great to do business with a family owned operation
Charlottesville Generators
April 12, 2023 by Rob
Called with an issue on a 13 year old system and they called back within 1 hour and at the home next morning. Old engine had a thrown rod and they had many options to fix the solution. We just had them install a new one within 2 days. Who could ask for BETTER OR FASTER SERVICE. If you get your service or generator anywhere else you'll be sorry
Outstanding
March 24, 2023 by Linda
I purchased a generac generator in 2020 which included the mobile link services from the original owner. In Jan. 2023 I was not receiving the mobile link notices anymore indicating that my generator was exercising. I contacted the company and explained that my mobile link was not notifying me, therefore, I thought the generator was not working. I requested a service call only to find out that my generator was working perfectly, however, I no longer had Mobile Link. The point of this review is to notify everyone that you are required to pay an annual fee for the contractor and yourself to continue receiving Mobile Link notices. I was never told this when I purchased the generator. The new owner personally called me and waved the service fee and fully explained that mobile link required you to annually renew in order to continue receiving the mobile link services. It is rare today to have an owner who truly cares about his customers and works with you to rectify problems let alone wave the cost for a service call. The owner was professional and very understanding of a problem that was not of his doing. He was more than willing to listen and make things right. There are many, many, companies out there but very few that provide the customer support that Charlottesville Generators provided !! I highly recommend them for their product and wonderful customer support.
You can trust Charlottesville Generators!
March 23, 2023 by Carolyn
Last year, we tried to contact "those other guys" in Charlottesville to have our generator inspected and start on a regular service plan. They were fully booked and not taking new clients. I'm so glad, because next I called Charlottesville Generators, and they are FANTASTIC!
Outstanding service
February 22, 2023 by Lauren61
I have always been extremely satisfied with the service I\u2019ve received from the entire Charlottesville Generator team of Eric and Jeremiah Santana and others! I recently changed internet service providers and could not get my Mobile Link service connected to my new Wi-Fi network. Jeremiah was able to guide me through the complicated process by phone. His responsiveness and expertise were exceptional!
Say yes, to this dealer!
February 13, 2023 by TandD
We had a whole house generator installed. I loved the time taken to explain how the process of installation will happen from the beginning to the end. The communication between Charlottesville Generators and the other vendors needed for the installation was extremely professional. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. My husband and I could not be happier. I am so glad we were introduced to Charlottesville Generator. It is without a doubt of reservation we highly recommend them.
Outstanding service
February 11, 2023 by JohnP613
I could not be happier with Charlottesville Generators. I found a leak in my LNG line feeding my 15k KW unit. Being a Saturday the large local dealers were closed and finding Charlottesville Generators was great. They took my call, met me on a Saturday and had the parts I needed. Very friendly and helpful. Will use them when it comes time to upgrade my generator.
Fantastic
February 11, 2023 by JB
Eric is amazing. Super responsive, honest, and does great work. I wholeheartedly recommend Charlottesville Generators!
C'ville Generators Rocks!
February 9, 2023 by BoMan
I have had my Generac Generator since 2012, and I have had nothing except reliable service throughout the years. This company stands behind the sale with quality service and knowledgeable professionals who will go the extra mile. We are in and out of town a lot and having not only a quality piece of equipment in Generac, but knowing if something does go wrong, Charlottesville Generators staff is on it! The peace of mind is so reassuring, I can rest easy knowing my Generac generator is always at peak performance. Thank you Charlottesville Generators!
This dealer and his staff is great.
January 26, 2023 by Farmer
Kind and considerate customer service. Past service on my old generator has been prompt and installation of my new Generac generator was prompt and professionally completed. I highly recommended to other homeowners.
Truly superior
December 26, 2022 by MichaelC
I called Charlottesville Generator at 4 PM on Friday of a holiday weekend. The phone was immediately answered by a real person. They promised me immediate service. The truck arrived within 25 minutes. The technician was extremely knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and deeply committed to excellent service. as he made the repair, he discovered that an additional part was necessary. He did not have that part on his truck, so he called another truck from the company and ask them to bring him the part. The second truck arrived within 15 minutes. It was now 16° outside. Generator operation was restored. The technician did an additional check of our system and determined that full voltage capacity was not being delivered to the house. He determined that there was an additional piece of equipment that was not working properly so, even though heat was restored, and electricity was restored to part of the house, it was not getting to all of the house. he determined which additional part was necessary, but did not have it on his truck. He then drove back to his office (at 8 PM on a Friday night) and called me to let me know that he found the part he promised to return at 8 AM the following morning \u2013 \u2013 Christmas Eve. true to his word, he arrived Saturday morning at 8 AM. It was 6° outside. He completed the repair and full power was restored throughout the house. I have never ever received excellent service of this high-level. Charlottesville generator is truly one of a kind, and the very best in the business.
Top notch!
December 24, 2022 by Mike95
Eric and his team know their business and go out of their way to make sure your generator is functioning properly. Good folks with good work ethic!
Brilliant service
December 23, 2022 by MichaelC
Cville Generators came to the rescue in a time of crisis. Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend, I phoned and a person answered immediately. I told them the problem (power outage and generator didn\u2019t start), they quickly understood , they immediately dispatched a truck and. Technician arrived in 25 minutes. Technician quickly diagnosed the multiple problems and began the repair. Turned out that control panel was fried. Hee did not have that part on his truck. He called another truck that drove to the office to retrieve the part, and quickly delivered to my home. Repair was completed and the generator started. It was pitch dark, freezing cold, and holiday Friday night, yet the technician continued to do comprehensive double-check to confirm was working. I have never experienced service of this very high caliber, done with good humor and kindness, thoughtfulness and a deep, deep commitment to service and excellence. I cannot say enough about the superior quality to service. Cville will be our electrician of choice forever.
Awesome same day service!
December 23, 2022 by PaulC
We were exceptionally pleased with the service we received from Charlottesville Generator today! Our power went out this morning and to my surprise they responded to us immediately! With the wind chill, it was about 0 degrees outside with a fierce wind blowing, but they got our generator working. We have a lot of animals so it was critical to get heat today. We are so grateful for their excellent service. I strongly recommend this company!

I Left a message for someone to call me back for service. I received a call back the same day.! My generator was not turning over, the Tech was at my home the next morning! Completed a full service check at my request but also found settings that weren't set properly, battery not hooked up properly, bugs behind the main electrical panel.

Extraordinarily Skillful and Responsible
June 23, 2022 by Mark1013
We had an exceeding complex breakdown of a 35KW residential system. They came as many times as necessary and devoted immense effort until they had tracked down the problem.
Provided a responsive and professional service call on very short notice.
June 18, 2022 by CEB
We were very pleased with the Charlottesville Generators in how quickly they fit us in for a service call. The technican was very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. They addressed the problem quickly. Would recommend them to others.
Great job
June 15, 2022 by Al
The technicians were courteous and professional. Arrived when they said they would and did a thorough job. They explained everything that they were doing while they were servicing the generator.
Help in time of need!
June 14, 2022 by pickyperson
Called the Generac 800# in middle of night because generator switched on but no power was coming into our very dark home. They recommended Charlottesville Generator for 24 hour service. I am so glad I called C'ville Generator. Eric responded in early morning and able to come later that morning. He was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, competent, fixed the issue and helped educate us. We signed up for his services in future.
Great service.
June 11, 2022 by Dan
Fixed my generator problem with battery charging. Great service, friendly, and they know the Generac generators very well. They are busy, but they made an effort to get to me quickly.
Charlottesville Generators folks are knowledgeable and time-efficient. Excellent service, highly recommend!

Had generator installed a year ago and am so happy I did! I received an email that it was time for maintenance. Need to keep it in running condition! Great service received, and he helped me reconnect it to WiFi, as I had just replaced my router.
Thanks for you knowledge expertise
May 26, 2022 by PCandRC
Eric took a little while to respond to my initial call to set up a regular maintenance contract. But he was worth the wait. He explained everything in great detail and easy to understand terms, and gave good practical advice. He explained well how the maintenance contract works, what it covers, and what it costs. I look forward to his assistance in keeping my generac in fine operating order for many many years to come.
Great Service
May 26, 2022 by Gerry
I purchased a house with a Generac 22KW generator (my first ever whole house generator). Three days after moving in we lost power during a storm but the generator was turned off by the seller.
The word is heroic
May 23, 2022 by steveinEarlysville
Charlottesville Generator helped walk me through a storm-driven emergency that knocked out power. But since then, they have shown patience and expertise that represent the industry at its best. Eric and his son, Jeremiah, had the expertise needed to replace my generator's engine. But they also had to deal with issues stemming at Generac's end, involving a faulty part and a clerical error. They stayed with the job, bird-dogged the problem and patiently solved it. They are as genial and outgoing as you can expect. My generator is up and running now, thanks to them. Talk to them and you'll see that they feel a sense of ethical obligation to their customers that one rarely finds these days. I wouldn't think about calling anyone else, honestly.
Great service
May 20, 2022 by Frank
When I realized that I had an issue with my generator not running it's weekly test, I called Eric in the morning and he came that afternoon. He diagnosed the problem and quickly fixed it. I couldn't be happier.
Very responsive and thorough
April 16, 2022 by JDS
We had an outage leaving us with no power to the house. Charlottesville Generators had a technician to our house within 90 minutes of our call, which is 20 miles out into the countryside.
Excellent service and expertise.

Wonderful service and very competent. Went the extra mile to provide service. Very friendly and responsive. Strongly recommend.

March 18, 2022 by Frank
Our Generac went on the fritz during a recent storm. When our regular \u201cbig box\u201d service technician arrived to determine what was wrong, he provided an estimate for the repairs which seemed extremely high (just under $3000). So, we shopped for a second opinion and landed with Charlottesville Generator. Eric, the technician, determined what was wrong, fixed it immediately, and also performed the regular maintenance. It was repaired and service for significantly less than the \u201cbig box\u201d estimate. Eric was very pleasant and professional as well as extremely knowledgeable. We are very pleased with our new service provider and highly recommend Charlottesville Generator.
Impressed with this company!
March 12, 2022 by CvilleMom
I was new to generators; Charlottesville Generators has been Wonderful! They were patient and professional going over the generator that is with the home we purchased. The tech went over everything I needed to know as well as what to whatch for. The service visits have been thorough, knowledgeable, efficient and performed with professionalism, integrity and honesty,. A good company. I am inpressed and so grateful for this local family run business.
Above and Beyond the Call for sure
January 15, 2022 by steveinEarlysville
My experience with Cville Generator has been wonderful. Just now Eric responded to a text within 2 minutes. He put his dinner aside so he could get my generator working normally ahead of this massive storm arriving tomorrow. This is a level of service that really is heroic. With the kind of weather Albemarle County has been getting, it's comforting to know that this company has my back.
I no longer worry about my generator! Superb service!
January 15, 2022 by Bill01
The service technician that performs our periodic maintenance was working on our generator last night (a Friday night at 7pm), in the dark with a flashlight, in the frigid weather, just to make sure we were ready for the big storm that\u2019s coming in 2 days. The team at Charlottesville Generators is professional, competent, technically expert, trustworthy, cost-effective and truly committed to making sure I can rely on my generator when I need it. I\u2019m glad I went with Charlottesville Generators. - These guys are great!
Outstanding response and service - way above and beyond expectation!
January 6, 2022 by Panevino
2022, January 3 - Power goes out - generator breaks down - can\u2019t get hold of the service company which performed the service on our generator three months ago - what next? After trying a number of service companies which were all booked solid, I was lucky to call Charlottesville Generators - and the miracle happened: I found a real person to talk to, not just voicemail: Eric. He is the technician who took the time to come to our house in Free Union and got the generator running again. What a man, what service!! Thank you Eric, thank you Charlottesville Generators!!
Suoerb service
December 11, 2021 by Shar
Our power went out on Saturday afternoon and the generator did not come on. I called the company and the service person called back within minutes and came immediately. He quickly identified the problem and explained what had gone wrong, (the gas pressure in was too high so the gas line regulator needed adjusting). The issue was quickly fixed and the generator started up. The service man was friendly and professional 5 star service!
Really Helpful!
September 11, 2021 by Ed999
I purchased a house with an existing house generator. When I called they remembered the previous owner by name and the generator as well. They were fast to set up the service call and helpful in explaining the operation of the system. Eric was easy to work with and knowledgeable about the operation of the unit.
The service technician was great!
March 8, 2021 by Zest
This was my first experience with Charlottesville Generators. Eric came out today to do the semi-annual maintenance check on our generator. Per my request - due to my Covid concerns - we did the whole appointment contact free. He called my cell phone to update me on his findings and was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Once he had thoroughly checked the generator he inspected the housing of the underground propane tank. He called me to notify me that there was a great deal of water in the housing and that he saw bubbles. Not to alarm me but he thought it might be a good idea to have the propane company come out and check the situation. I can not be more thankful for his careful inspection. The propane company was called and came right out. Sure enough there was a leak. We were never in danger apparently but thanks to Eric the leak was discovered and is fixed. I will highly recommend this company.
Excellent Service
December 30, 2020 by Yooper
I recently purchased a home in Earlysville and called Charlottesville Generators to make sure everything was working properly. The owner came out within a couple of hours of me calling to inspect the generator to make sure it was in working order. I started a service plan with the company as they had very competitive rates and the service technician came out within a couple of days to service the generator. Both the owner and the technician were very knowledgeable and gave me helpful hints and tips as I have never had a whole house generator before. They were both friendly, professional, courteous, and adhered to safety rules for COVID which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have their generator serviced or is looking for an honest company when looking to purchase a unit.
They deserve more than a 5-Star rating!
August 22, 2019 by Rebecca53
In the middle of the night, our generator \u201cdied\u201d during a wide spread power outage.Early the next morning we called Charlottesville Generators (even though we were unknown to them) and Dave arrived within an hour. He needed a part for repair and it was located on another repair person\u2019s truck. The repair person, Eric, arrived within 30 minutes with the part. Initially, even with the new part, the generator would not turn on. Very quickly Eric discovered it was a more complicated problem. He assured me that he would find and fix the problem before leaving. He was not going to leave us without generator power. It was extremely hot that day and we were about to lose all the food in the refrigerator and my sanity. When we lose power, we also lose our well water. Anyone dependent on well water knows how distressing it is to lose power.
Prompt and Professional
August 20, 2019 by Stephen
I've been working with Dave's company for about 6 years from the installation to regular and special service, and he and his team have always done timely, professional, and reasonably priced work. This is the first time I needed a repair, and it was a bad circuit board that might have been damaged in a recent thunderstorm, and a discharged/worn out battery. Their serviceman, Eric, timely returned my service call and was out within 24 hours--a recent storm hit a lot of people. Did great job! Highly recommend the company and the people.
Quick repair after lightning strike
June 19, 2019 by Tom22911
These guys are terrific. A week after we bought the house, we had a very close lightning strike which took out a number of things including the generator. Having just bought the house, they didn't know me yet they picked up the call immediately and sent someone out the same day. Problem was diagnosed and the part installed the next day and we were up and running. Eric also took time to explain to me how the system worked, giving me a great tutorial. Would highly recommend Charlottesville Generators.
Exceptional service
May 8, 2019 by JB801
Charlottesville Generators did not install my Generac generator, but the original installer did not follow through on promises to maintain my generator. I began doing business with Charlottesville Generators about 3 years ago, and have been completely satisfied with their service, professionalism, and quick response to any concerns that we might have. Eric or Dan are completely qualified service technicians, and are completely willing to answer any questions and to explain any adjustments that they might make to our generator. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to install a new generator, or anyone looking for excellent service for an existing generator.
Regular servicing

Excellent, Ethical, Professional Company

I had my Generac whole house generator installed 5 years ago and have had outstanding reliability. It has flawlessly run during each power outage without any effort on my part. Smart Homes of Virginia competently figured my electrical needs utilizing transfer switches to provide the most economical performance. My system provides backup power to run two 2.5 ton electric heatpumps plus typical household electrical needs. I am on the annual maintenance plan and have always received exceptional and courteous service. These guys are great!
Excellent Service Provider

My Generac has been installed since December 2011. The installer did not offer a service contract. I found a dealer who did offer a contract. He serviced my generator twice a year for about 6 years. After my last renewal (and paid) he went out of business along with my prepayment. I contracted another dealer. His plan included 4 visits per year. They did make 4 visits but did absolutely no work. They were at my home less than 10 minutes each visit. I was not home for the first two visits so I had no idea what service they were providing. As it turned out I didn\u2019t miss anything.
Great Service

We couldn't be more pleased with the regular service call by your agent, Eric. He was friendly and went out of his way to be helpful. He answered all of my questions and was very professional. He is a credit to the business.
More than satisfied !!!

I had a generator problem with a potential bad weather warning in the next few days. Fortunately I found out about Charlottesville Generators. They responded to my call quickly, fixed my problem and left me with a smile on my face! Eric, my service technician was great. He was professional, very knowledgeable and took the time to answer every question I had. It's great to get service from a company that really wants me to be a satisfied customer. Needles to say \u2026.they passed with flying colors!
The best in the region!

After getting the run around from a local dealer, I called upon Charlottesville Generators to assist me in getting an older 16KW unit up and running again. It wasn't serviced and hadn't run for some time. Their factory-certified techs got my unit serviced to factory specs and running in no time. These guys are the most competent and best in the business. I was very pleased with the timely response and signed up for their low cost service plan.
quick response, friendly and knowledgeable team

Charlottesville Generators has been servicing our generator for several years and we have always found them to be very responsive and diligent. After a generator failure today, they made sure to get our generator running again ahead of the coming storm.
Service is excellent

The expertise of this dealer was demonstrated through efficient correction and repair of mistakes made by a different local dealer. I will definitely be continuing on with this new dealer for all future service.
Very professional service.

Dave Dawson and Charlottesville Generators define professionalism and responsiveness. They know the Generac product portfolio at all levels, and spent over an hour with us as we assessed our needs and settled on the appropriate selection. Despite high regional demand following a series of wind storms this spring. They were able to deliver and install almost immediately, with a seamless integration into our home\u2019s electrical power and serious attention to detail relative to exterior aesthetics and confident electrical work. If you\u2019re in the Charlottesville area and thinking about a back-up power system, this is your answer.
Awesome service!!

Awesome service. From the time I called Dave until Eric had finished my generator maintenance. I will definitely use them in the future for all of my generator needs.
Great service

We bought a Generac back-up generator from this dealer. The generator failed to start on a power outage on a Sunday morning. They were out in an hour to fix it. What more could anyone want from a dealer?
This dealership is top of the line!!

Dave and his partner Dan are Home Solutions. They were personally involved with my install from beginning to final testing.Great install great system.
The owner was exceptionally service-oriented and really adept at explaining the workings and process of installing a generator

The most meaningful review I can offer comes from our first brief power outage--so brief that the generator didn't have to take over. The transfer box began to emit a loud and disturbing noise. I called Dave Dawson, the owner of Smart Homes, on a Sunday night at 8:00, and he offered to drive an hour and take a look! He simply replaced a relay and explained in layman's terms what had happened.
The power is out and the lights are on !

Big thanks to Dave and his professional job. After much debate we decided to move forward with a generator. Dave made the whole process painless and worked with us to provide exactly what we needed. Good value - great installation job. Many thanks to you and Generac. The power going out is no longer a worry.
Best professional I met

I interviewed 3 companies and was most impressed with Dave and Dan for their professionalism and reasonable price. They exceeded my expectations with creating a level foundation on a hill at the side of my house, outstanding electrician skills in running cables and panels, and training me in the use and monitoring of the system. Every phone call and email has been answered immediately, even when I send an email on a Sunday with a question. I have had no problems at all in more a month. My 20 KW Generac is so quiet that I can hear my next door neighbor's central air conditioning unit running over the sound of the generator during its weekly exercise routine. I very highly recommend this dealer to my friends with total confidence that they will also be delighted.
Look no further for top of the line generator professional!

Dave Dawson of Smart Homes of Virginia was highly recommended to us by a trusted neighbor who used him to install a 27 KW generator and all the appurtenances. We met with him for what we thought would be a first estimate, but we were so impressed with his expertise and professionalism we looked no further. Dave loves what he does, and it shows. The day of installation the supporting crew were all highly skilled professionals, including master electricans. We are now in the sixth day of a devastating post storm power outage in the greater Central Virginia area, which is the very first 'call to duty' of our 20 KW Generac generator. It has been humming like a baby, working flawlessly. THANK YOU, DAVE!
Highly recommend this dealer!
