High Sierra Electric & Generators — Local services in Nevada City

We are first-time generator owners. After Volz Bros. gave us an excellent referral to a Honda eu7000is, and a brilliant referral to an electrician, we began learning about our new device and preparing it for operation. It made more sense for us to assemble the wheels, and to get the oil and fuel ready, instead of paying the electrician to do the simple stuff. Plus we don't want to take him away from all the other people who need him during fire season.

Motor Electric referred me to Edison, and Edison gave me some excellent advice free of charge. He said 20 minutes operation a month would keep the battery charged up, or I could trickle charge the battery. And then he referred me to the airport for aviation fuel, since the fuel is already stabilized and has a minimum 5 year shelf life, and probably more. Getting the fuel couldn't have been easier, considering I had never been to the airport and had never pumped fuel there.

Riebe's had everything I needed except the fuel. See review of Riebe's.

I am very grateful to Edison and to divine providence. The entire process of preparing the generator for the electrician could not have been easier. It runs like a champ, I'm doing the break-in right...

Crook!!! Did 650.00 in repairs on generator in brand new RV without calling to let us know what he found was wrong. And the generator was just running a little rough. no old parts, no phone calls, no written estimate, overcharged, and the nervous vibes he was giving off..He may not have even worked on it...got nothing to show for 650, runs the same. Then he freaked and stalked us on the phone just because we had to wait till the next day for payment and pick up to see if DeMartini was going to cover the repair. It was like he was so nervous he needed gas money now to go see his meth dealer. Was acting sketchy the whole time but we left it anyway based on DeMartini's referral. DeMartini's RV Sales told me they are no longer referring this company either because of the way this guy treats their customers and the only reason they referred him in the first place was because there is no one else up here and one of their staff told me "Oh, that guy? He's nuts"...which was upsetting after they referred me without warning...Since then I have heard the word around town and unfortunately it matches our experience...So much for...

We recently purchased a used motor home from a dealer who misrepresented its condition. It turned out that it had some serious problems with the generator and house charging system. By sheer luck, we found High Sierra Electric not only serviced generators, but they were very experienced with many aspects of RV repair. The problems were rather complex, and probably beyond that which most RV service providers could diagnose, let alone rectify! We wasted a lot of time and money elsewhere, before the most knowledgeable and friendly people at High Sierra Electric solved our many problems, and beyond those electrical. On many occasions, we have called on them for practical advice concerning the care and maintenance of our motor home, which we now use with great confidence that we have such great great support from HSE. They even repaired our home generator free of charge, when gasoline poured out of the carburetor at a most inconvenient time, in snow, rain, and without power! These...
