Responsive and professional. I like that their prices are on their website with details for each plan. Scheduling was super easy. I also like that they specialize in generator maintenance. We had just had our generator installed by a different company, and Electrician. But when Tom came out to set us up for a service contract, the generator had already stopped working, and he discovered that it did not have a neutral ground and the battery had died. So in addition to setting us up for our service contract, he made those repairs. Overall great service and fair prices.

Power at my home was out for 2 days. Have a Genarac generator. It quit late last night. Called RGS for service. They were here in an hour. Repaired the generator. Marc said it hasn't been properly serviced in years. Don't use an HVAC company to maintain your generator. THANKS MARC Bob Tumolo Had RGS out today for my 6 month maintenance service. Seamless. Thx RGS

We called this company for a generator replacement quote and Marc came out within just a few hours! The price was reasonable so we went ahead and hired them for the job. They ordered our generator and came back a few weeks later for the installation. Just 4 hours later, the new generator was up and running. I highly recommend this company for any generator replacement or servicing. Thank you Marc for a great job!
Thank you for coming out on the low voltage issue. Mark was correct telling me the issue. And Tom proved it when he visited. Great people!!!!!

I have been a happy customer of RGS for several years. Tom is friendly and has always answered any questions clearly. His business is focused strictly on generators so he brings a great deal of experience and knowledge to his work. He precedes his visits with text messages, arrives on time, and has excellently maintained our whole house generator so that it has always worked when I needed it. He earned my trust and I will continue relying on him in the future.

Second time using Residential Generator Service, both times we’ve been completely satisfied with their work. Very knowledgeable servicemen, who don’t waste time (or money) on diagnostics, and are very reasonable with the hourly labor costs. We will be using them for any and all generator needs going forward. UPDATE 5/5/2026: Annual servicing of our generator was uneventful, and performed within a couple of hours. Excellent support as always.

Scheduling was very easy and the communication before the service vist was extremely helpful. The service appointment was on time and everything went perfectly .Marc performed the service and I found him to be very knowledgeable, professional as well as courteous.

Zach from RGS came to perform our annual generator service on 4/1/26. The overall experience was similar to RGS's two previous visits: stellar! Zach notified us when he was about 30 minutes away and arrived right on time. He let us know when he was about to start and would check back in when he was finished. During the process, he took photos of the unit to document the system status, as well as his maintenance steps. In less than an hour, Zach finished the job and gave us a verbal summary of the work he performed. Throughout the entire process, Zach was courteous and professional. As I indicated in my previous review, RGS is the most dependable and reliable generator servicing company that I have worked with since installing the generator over ten years ago. They should be your go-to for all generator service and repair. It is very difficult to find companies that are dedicated to generator repair and maintenance. It is even harder to find reliable, knowledgeable technicians who meet expectations. Residential Generator Services (RGS), and its owner Marc, exceeded both challenges! I contacted RGS through their website and Marc called me back within a few hours. I briefly described the issue with my generator (Generac 22kw) and Marc indicated that it was an issue that he felt comfortable diagnosing and repairing. Within 90 minutes of arriving at my house, Marc adjusted the valves (cause of primary issue), performed annual maintenance, updated the operating system software, replaced the battery and the oil sensor, fully cleaned the inside and outside of the unit, and tested the transfer switch. It is like a brand new generator! If you are having any kind of issue with your generator, and reliability and great service is important to you, RGS is the company you should call.

Switched to this company after a few years of poor service with another and couldn't be happier. Today, after nearly 2 feet of snow, our generator had an issue and didn't fire up. I called Marc, who put me on the schedule and came out within 2 hours. Unfortunately he couldn't get to my home due to the snow but we stayed in contact, he even waited a bit to see if a plow would come. Since they didn't he went to another job and immediately came back again and got us up and running since the road was cleared by then. Friendly, communicative, flexible, reasonably priced and overall professional. Thank you!!

This company met all expectations, and then some! They responded to our call promptly, came out for our emergency generator repair on the same day as our request, went above and beyond by staying after business hours to make the repairs, provided important education, and charged a fair price. I would highly recommend them for annual servicing and/or repair of a residential generator!

I had an excellent experience with Tom. He was extremely polite, professional and informative. Tom took the time to walk me through all the key maintenance points for my generator, explained what needed to be replaced and why... nothing felt rushed or salesy. The pricing was super affordable, especially considering the level of service I received. It was actually cheaper than any other service I’ve found and the quality exceeded expectations. He replaced everything that actually needed attention, offered helpful suggestions and shared several tips to help keep my generator running reliably for a long time. I’ll absolutely be using them again and would highly recommend Tom and Residential Generator Service LLC to anyone looking for honest, high-quality generator service.
Mark returned today and made final adjustments. System is back to 100%. Even our power conditioner for the Hi-Fi system no longer states an issue with the power. Great job, great technician. Thank you. Ed and Dab Ravenkamp

We had been struggling to find a vendor for our portable generator maintenance. Everywhere we looked, you needed to bring the generator to a small engine spot or they only worked on specific brands. However, we found Residential Generator Service recently and, after a great chat with Marc, had our first maintenance visit today. Marc was extraordinarily professional, knowledgeable, personable, and prompt. It was an absolute pleasure and we cannot endorse them highly enough for all generator needs.

Marc, the technician, was truly knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed and corrected several important issues with the generator and the transfer switch. We have had individuals from other companies service this system and none were as competent and thorough as RGS. We are sticking with RGS and are confident that the right things will be done, the right way, at the right time and for all of the right reasons - and at a price that is more than fair. The technician who came today, Tom, was every bit as professional and personable as was Marc. We are already booked for our next service confident that things will be done right.

MARK INTRODUCED HIMSELF AND WENT RIGHT TO WORK, THE WHOLE TIME ASKING ME TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON......HE METHODICALLY ISOLATED THE SYSTEM , CHECKED FOR VOLTAGE AND EXPLAINED THE FIRST STEP WAS TO FIND OUT WHY THE GENERATOR WAS NOT SEEING 120 VOLTS HE FOUND 2 OUT OF 3 FUSES BAD. HEPLACED THEM AND CONFIRMED POWER AT THE CONTROLLER, BUT...THE CONTROLLER WAS NOT SEEING THE 120 V HE EXPLAINED HE TESTED THE BACK OF THE CONTROLLER TO ONCE AGAIN VERIFY 120 V HE THEN SAID THE CONROLLER IS NOT RESPONDING AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED....THE MINUTE HE INSTALLED A NEW CONTROLLER, THE GREEN LIGHT CAME ON HE SWITCHED IT TO AUTO MATIC, THE GENERATOR STARTED, WARMED UP JUST LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO IT KICKED THE POWER BACK ON COOLED DOWN AND SHUT OFF READY TO RESPOND TO THE NEXT POWER FAILURE. I KNEW NO ONE AT RGS, I TOOK A SHOT AND CALLED THEM.....NOT KNOWING WHAT OR WHO TO EXPECT. AFTER TODAY, MEETING MARK AND THE AMAZING SERVICE HE PROVIED, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.....IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY GENERATOR AND NEED SERVICE, CALL RGS AND ASK FOR MARK, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED WSM
