FAQs
What sets Ambrose Electric apart from other generator companies?
We are 100% focused on generators—it’s not a side business for us. As both a fully licensed electrical contractor and Generac Premier Dealer since 1980, we combine over 40 years of electrical expertise with specialized generator knowledge. We handle everything in-house with factory-trained technicians, ensuring the highest quality from start to finish.
How long does a generator installation take?
Most residential generator installations are completed in 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of the site and electrical requirements. As licensed electrical contractors, we handle all aspects from start to final inspection. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your free estimate.
Do you service generators you didn’t install?
Yes! Our factory-trained technicians service all Generac generators, whether we installed them or not. We also provide warranty service and emergency repairs. We recommend annual maintenance to keep your generator running at peak performance.
What size generator do I need for my home?
The right size depends on what you want to power during an outage. We offer free, no-obligation site assessments where we’ll evaluate your home’s power needs and recommend the appropriate generator size—from essential circuits (8kW) to complete whole-house coverage (up to 48kW for residential). Our licensed electricians will help you make the best choice for your budget and needs.
How often does my generator need maintenance?
We recommend annual maintenance for air-cooled generators and semi-annual service for liquid-cooled units. Regular maintenance includes oil and filter changes, battery checks, system testing, and inspection of all components. Proper maintenance extends the life of your generator and ensures it’s ready when you need it.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes, we provide emergency generator repair services. If your generator fails to start during an outage or you notice any issues, contact us immediately at 518-783-0741. Our factory-trained service technicians are equipped to diagnose and repair most issues quickly.
What brands do you work with?
We are a Generac Premier Dealer and specialize in the complete line of Generac residential and commercial standby generators (8kW to 150kW). As factory-trained Generac specialists, we provide sales, installation, service, maintenance, and warranty work exclusively for Generac products.
Is financing available?
Yes! We offer financing options to make generator ownership affordable. Contact us for current financing offers and to discuss payment plans that work for your budget. We also offer special promotions throughout the year, including our current limited-time offer of a free 10-year parts and labor warranty with new installations.
