How does invoicing/payment work for most Generator Service projects in Opelika?

Every project differs, but you should ask any generator service for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any generator services work is done.

If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for generator services to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your generator service project.

If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the generator service to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.

What should I check for once my Generator Service in Opelika has finished working?

Every generator services project is going to have different results, but here are a few things to check for once any generator services company has told you they've finished the job:

  • Obviously you want to do a visual inspection. Even if you're unfamiliar with generator services work, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions (even basic ones like, what did you do?).
  • Ask the generator service to describe what they did. Whether your generator services project was a repair job or a building job, have them run you through what was done.
  • Compare the description provided on your generator services project estimate to the work completed. Did the professional do what was promised?
  • Request that the generator service do a follow-up visit to check on the work. Most professionals are willing to do this, especially if you ask them.
