Hurricane Wilma struck in 2005 and was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic basin, causing billions of dollars in damage and leaving many residents without power for several weeks. Will Ferrigno was not one of those residents. During the storm and in its aftermath, Will learned the importance of being prepared for an 11-day power outage firsthand as his home was equipped with a trusted standby home generator. Seeing an opportunity in South Florida and driven by a desire to help his community, Will created Assurance Power Systems. With his construction background and electrical experience, Will found a perfect partner in Mitch Dinnerman who had his own expertise working with working mechanical and gas systems. In 2005, Will and Mitch officially formed Assurance Power Systems, South Florida’s first and leading one-stop generator shop offering complete electrical and gas services related to your generator and whole-home systems.

Starting out with just a few trucks and limited warehouse space, Assurance Power Systems grew quickly due to the team’s early commitment to timely and quality generator installations at a fair price. In just a few years, the company boasted over 40 trucks on the road and was working in counties across South Florida. Throughout the years Assurance Power has been recognized many times, including being named “Best In Class” by Generac out of over 5,000 Generac dealers across the country. Since its humble beginnings, Assurance Power Systems has helped South Florida residents through many named storms including Irma, Ian, and Ike just to name a few. While Mitch and Will no longer lead the day-to-day operations of the company, their entrepreneurial spirit and customer first approach live on today.
