I first had my initial meeting with this company on March 30 of 2019. It is now 15 months and 2 weeks later.
Let me repeat: FIFTEEN MONTHS.
If you are not in any hurry to set up a back up generator system for your home, and you do not mind astonishingly outrageous delays that are created by the company themselves, and a remarkable lack of communication and follow up, Graham these are the folks for you.
Bear in mind, I am NOT faulting them for delays caused by the government agency's involved in giving permits. Of course, I don't have any proof that the County of San Diego is at fault, because even though I've repeatedly asked, this company won't give me a copy of my submitted plans to that I can see when the plans were submitted, processed, and returned to them. (When you submit applications to the County, they stamp the documents with your submitted date, again when it's processed, and the date they send the application back to you. County of San Diego is kind of wonderful like that).
I gave them a $1200 fee to have my applications and fees processed and submitted to the county, and I can only hope that I would be able to get that back, from GenerAC themselves, since it is general corporation that is the one that referred me to this company. At rhis point I've given up on ever having a GenerAC system installed, so will have to turn to their competitors.
I can think of exactly ZERO reasons why it should take over 15 months to even get the permit ready, and they tell me that there is anywhere from 8 to 16 weeks lead time before the generator would be delivered, assuming I ever got to that point. That means that IF the permit were approved by the end of July 2020 (SIXTEEN months), it would take a minimum of 8 weeks to receive the generator -- end of September 2020: EIGHTEEN months -- but most likely 16 weeks, end November 2020: TWENTY months. So the install MIGHT happen in December, but realistically on January 2021:
22 months.
Yeah, I'll just go ahead and get in touch with one of GenerAC Corporation's competitors. read more
