Stephen, the owner of Seltec, is a prime example of what hard work, determination, and outstanding work ethic, looks like.
We had Stephen install a Kohler 26kw generator in March and couldn't be happier with the final results. Stephen explained everything, from the selection of pipes used for the gas line, conduit for the electric lines, the updates he made in our control panel, and why he chose what he did. Along the way, Stephen also noticed a multiple "out of code" items that the previous homeowner fiddled with, and corrected them without charging extra . Upon inspection time by the city, the inspector signed off on everything, with flying colors.
Placing a generator in the backyard is the easy part, however, running 100 feet of gas line on the outside of the home, under patios, with dozens of angles and bends, is where having Stephen, along with his thought process, is a must.
I received 3 quotes, including Seltec's, before making the decision to proceed with Stephen. One of the quotes was astronomically high, using an inferior brand generator, while another quote was about similar with Stephens, however, the similar quote was also using an inferior brand. Kohler appears to be a superior generator, in regards to quality, sound suppression, maintenance, and warranty. The fit and finish, from the generator itself, to the installation process, is top tier.
He's respectable, engages in conversation on what he's doing (either from me, or my 12-year-old son, polite, and even more important, honest. He's upfront, educates, does exactly what he says, doesn't take shortcuts, and believes in his product.
I'd hire him again tomorrow, if I was to do it all over again.
