Electrified for a Cause: Generator sales to benefit Middlesex United Way

PORTLAND — As more and more people are considering the purchase of a generator in the aftermath of several recent storms, L-Train Electric LLC in Portland is offering to donate a portion of generator sales to Middlesex United Way.

“We are proud to support Middlesex United Way,” said Jason Lammer, of L-Train Electric LLC. “We are fortunate to have a strong and successful business, and we want to give back to the community that supports us.”

From each sale of a standby generator at MSRP, L-Train Electric LLC will donate $100 to Middlesex United Way. For each full installation, including the purchase of a standby generator, at MSRP, L-Train Electric LLC will donate $250.  Be sure to mention “United Way” when you call.
