NEVER BE WITHOUT POWER AGAIN

Power. Life in Southern Maine depends on it, from everyday necessities like backup heating, refrigeration and lights, to daily essentials like cooking and laundry. Power outages are occurring more frequently than ever in homes and residential areas around Portland ME. Standup to unpredictable Maine weather and unforeseen outages with a reliable standby backup generator. If the power goes out, your standby home generator will keep you safe and secure.

$125/mo. BACKUP GENERATOR FINANCING OPTIONS

LaPlante can offer multiple financing options to Maine and New Hampshire residents.

Call or text 207-560-0116 for more details.

Deferred interest financing option
LaPlante can offer a deferred interest financing plan for your standby generator which requires only a $125 setup, and you are able to pay for your standby generator over an 18 month period. If your backup generator is completely paid off in that 18 month period, you will not pay a dime of interest. This truly is the best option for the person who wants a backup generator installation now, and does not want to pay interest.
Flexible monthly payment option starting at $125 per month
LaPlante also offers a financing option that allows Maine and New Hampshire residents to pay the $125 setup fee up front, and make a small monthly payment of as low as $125 per month for up to 61 months

We decided that we needed a whole-home generator. LaPlante had the best reviews, so we chose them. It proved to be an excellent choice. We were kept in the loop every inch of the way. The crew showed... up on time, and were very pleasant to work with. These guys worked hard all day, and were professional and polite.A special thank you to Aaron, Zack, Josh, and G, our professional installers!read more

I looked online for a company to service our generator. Chose LaPlante Electric because of their reviews. And we're glad we did. Very professional & friendly on our initial contact with Liz at the... office. She explained the plans & emailed me backup or reference. We decided on the Set and Forget flat-rate annual service plan. An appointment was made & kept. Excellent service all around.read more

They were great and were good at getting back to us even when we weren't great at getting back to them. Install was well done, and seems solid. They've serviced our old generator for a while until... it died recently and did the install of a new one preserving as much of the original infrastructure as they could to hold the price down.read more

I found these folks after searching the internet for a firm to connect a generator I'd found a great deal on. They were not the least expensive choice. But they were the right choice. Their work is... really good. They are friendly, personable, and what I really wanted: Expert. The minute I talked to Scott, I knew he knew his stuff. Cold. He didn't know I knew already what he was talking about ... but I did, and I recognized that he was totally on top of his game.We encountered a couple of initial questions regarding the estimation process, that were quickly resolved to satisfaction amicably.Liz was great keeping me informed regarding scheduling, and Andrea made sure just prior to installation that all ducks were in a row.The crew sent to install was thorough, their work exemplary, and their expertise clear. They were precision fast, and designed the installation in an unexpectedly clean way. Aaron meticulously (inside) coordinated w/ Corey (outside) in a dance they'd obviously done a thousand times. Although this was my 3rd generator install, they still wanted to walk me step by step through all of the important protocols of consideration -- as professionals routinely insure.Accommodating, friendly, informative, and although not the least expensive, worth every penny, I very highly, recommend.read more

I have to tell you - what a pleasant surprise. from the start (getting quotes) to the installation (finalizing the deal) working with LaPlante Electric team was easy. Mike wrote up the details of... the job and the technicians, Aaron, Scott and Matt executed the project. They showed up on time and left only after the system passed the test and I was satisfied with the results.Scott, Aaron and Matt work very well together. They did their job quietly, efficiently and professionally. During the installation I observed how each was aware of the other and would check in once in awhile with each other to see how the other is doing. This is a key ingredient to safety and success. When one had a question the other had the answer. They were quiet, efficient and knowledgeable about the product and the process. And for all you neatnicks out there - they neatly left the area the way they found it. You could hardly tell they were there.Before leaving they set up the OnCue app and explained to me what to expect and how the generator operates. I am totally satisfied and am planning on bringing them back for the other project I have in mind....building the she shed!!read more

Fantastic people and service! They are a family-owned business that cares about each of their customers and about their reputation. They clearly have a lot of pride in the quality of their work and... it shows. For one set price they sold and installed our Kohler generator (including the stone and wood base to protect against frost heaving the generator), and they took care of everything on the electrical side, getting town approval, getting all we needed for us to secure our homeowners association’s approval, coordinating with CMP to shut off and restart the power to the house and coordinating with our propane provider (which hooked up the gas - they don’t let anyone else do it). We are very satisfied and highly recommend LaPlante and Son.read more

What a great experience. Scott went to my house while I was traveling, measured it all up and quoted me. We discussed all of our alternatives (for size) listing the pro's and con's of each. I... decided on the whole house 20Kw Generac. It was scheduled and installed ON_TIME. Since I couldn't be at the installation, they sent a rep out to meet with me at a later date and he explained the operation of the unit to me. A great experience! Now I hope I never really need it but am very glad I have it!read more

If you’re considering getting a home generator, go with Laplante! I just had a Generac installed by them and they were the most professional team I’ve ever seen! From the initial meeting to the... install, they explained every detail, explained what would work best for my situation and then followed through with everything exactly as they promised!

Laplante Electric installed a 14W Kohler generator to manage the whole home when a power outage is experienced. City folks don't understand how important it is to be able to "flush!" Being on a well... in the country makes all the difference being protected against "no electricity. " The techs were quick, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, and hot! It was 90° the day of installation. We recommend them to everyone needing electrical services.read more

We have had an excellent experience with LaPlante Electric. They have provided superb customer service from initial visit to see what we needed to set up. Andrea even contacted our propane company... in person to get issues resolved. The installation of the new generator was completed as promised by highly skilled technicians who were friendly and helpful (despite having to put up with a yappy dog). Every call is returned and everyone I have talked to has been happy to answer questions, friendly and very professional. A great company and one I would recommend without hesitation.read more

I have had such a wonderful experience working with LaPlante Electric from initial phone call to set up appointment for information, meeting with Sales Rep and site review to second site review and... installation. Everyone was understanding and helpful during the transaction. When I couldn’t find anyone to install propane for me the LaPlante team did some research and found me a wonderful company that was willing to install propane for me. My generator runs a test each week automatically and I couldn’t be happier to know everything is running and working as described.I cannot say enough wonderful things about this local family business they certainly have mastered wonderful customer service!read more
