What a first build could look like in Dover
Envision a Dover residential electrical, service-panel upgrade and standby-generator installation company servicing single-family homes from Garrison Hill out to Durham, Madbury and Eliot, Maine. We would build an online whole-home generator sizing calculator, a crew calendar for trenching, propane tie-ins and town inspections, and a maintenance-plan portal that schedules annual oil and battery checks automatically.
