            Strongly recommend using anyone else. Would not return calls or emails. Wouldnt return deposit after a home sale fell through, which was refundable (signed contract) and confirmed prior to giving the deposit. GENERAC company helped get some money back, but BK&S kept $1000 (~1 week of pay for me) of the $2500 deposit. They literally only provided an estimate based on photos I took and emailed them- they never even had to leave the office. After GENERAC contacted BL&S on my behalf, I did receive a belligerent email response from the owner:********** had offered you what I can do as usually there are no refunds. I had to pay interest on your unit as the deposit doesnt even cover the cost of the generator. You are not happy with that then you drag it out longer and leave a nice review which almost wants me to keep it all now as I have been trying to work with you but you have been the one dragging this out as it states you went with solar instead. Like I said before we were ready to install and you stated you wanted to wait for new place. You have til Thursday August 24th to let me know if you want the refund I had offered or not with mailing address you want sent to.Sincerely *******************
