Just had a Generac whole-house generator installed by Cason's Equipment on Congress St. in Lowell and couldn't be more satisfied. They handled everything — permitting, scheduling, inspections, invoicing — I didn't have to lift a finger. They also gave me a heads up when Generac was running an extended warranty…

Even though the shop was very busy, Cason's CEO called me personally and assured me that he was going to oversee my generator repair. I am so thankful he was on the ball. Cason's work is outstanding overall, just understand that during spring season, their shop is busy as hell. You may have to wait a little longer than expected.

Purchased a Vortex pressure washer 2 years ago, pump lost pressure and failed, brought the machine back to Cason’s and told them the pump needs to be rebuilt. They they told me it was $520 to repair. Since I only paid $600 for the machine, It didn’t make any sense to spend that much money so I simply wanted to get…

Just had a Generac whole-house generator installed by Cason's Equipment on Congress St. in Lowell and couldn't be more satisfied. They handled everything — permitting, scheduling, inspections, invoicing — I didn't have to lift a finger. They also gave me a heads up when Generac was running an extended warranty promotion, which I really appreciated. Wouldn't have known about it otherwise. Easy to work with start to finish. Highly recommend.
