What our customers are saying

  • After 6 days of emergency power for our accommodation retreat due to a destructive storm, our 100KVA generator fan belt broke Sunday, 31st December. Finding a unique and specialised replacement belt we thought was going to be impossible. Luckily, Southern Generators & Electrical answered our telephone call with a wiliness to assist. They have plenty of generators but also carry spare parts, unlike other generator companies. With good timing and luck, the new fan belt was installed within 4 hours of breakdown. Shout-out to Ryan, Jodie and Chris. Recommended anyone to consider SGE for any power needs.

    The Mouses House Rainforest Retreat

  • SGH provide a seamless service. Byron and his crew are great to deal with, they made the whole process easy and stress free. They ensured minimal service disruption so our business could carry on as normal. Great communication and skilled trades. Highly recommended.

    SPAR Tweed Heads

  • A week or two ago our shop 00 Pizza and a few other shops had lost power from the council because they were fixing it. A clinic had rented a powerful generator to power their shop for the night. The kind guy that worked for SGH allowed us to use some electricity to power our fridges. The generators are extremely reliable and the workers are extremely friendly. Highly recommend.
