Midwest Electric and Generator, Inc
3.0
I’m having a tough time with this review. After calling the salesman came out, covered what I believe needed to be covered. I ordered a whole house generator. Later I was called by the lead person (foreman) of the installation team, stating they would be out at 8 AM on 4 August. Sometime after 11AM I called to find out where the install team was. I’m not sure who misunderstood the arrival time however he said they would arrive around noon. The installation seemed to go without a hitch until the electrical inspector arrived the following day. He stated the unit was not grounded properly and he would not approve the installation. I was called by Midwest’s foreman, informed there was an additional three hundred dollar charge to ground the system. There was little else I could do, but pay to have it grounded properly. (I thought they would have known how to ground their own product). Eleven months later sitting at home when the power went out, the generator started up while I sat in the dark. After some time I grabbed a flash light, went to the switch, turned the “fully automatic switch” on. Four hours later the power came back on and the generator turned off. I foolishly thought everything was OK. Two days later while I was out of town the power went off again. I’m not sure how long it was off, long enough that everything in my freezer and refrigerator was ruined. I called Midwest when I returned stating I wanting the switch fixed or replaced. The women on the phone said she would have the service tech call me. I started to get a little upset telling her “I couldn’t tell him anything more than the generator ran and the switch didn’t switch the power on”. She stated “You don’t have a service contract”. I told her the unit wasn’t a year old. She said it had been installed on 4 August. I didn’t want to argue since it was still July and Generac’s sheet says “Warranty Coverage Year(s) 1-2, Parts, Labor and Limited Travel” After bidding her farewell she called me back informed me, for the second time I didn’t have a service contract, then asked what color light the generator had shown. I said it was green, repeated the generator worked great, that the switch didn’t transfer the power. I admit I was getting a little upset. It was starting to appear all they wanted was to sell me a service contract. Somewhat angry I stated “It’s starting to look like you’re not exactly a very reputable company”. She responded “I work here and I can assure you we are”. I at last got off the phone then received a call two days later from a gentleman who questioned me as to what had transpired. I told him my feelings even reading their warranty to him which he said he was unaware of. That afternoon Devin, their service tech arrived. At last a ray of light, common sense and intelligence. He took the switches cover off, started checking the equipment finding a loose control wire connection from the installation. He tightened the three wires, tested the switch three or four times and it worked great. He explained the operation of the generator spending time to give me the basics of the unit. Had this company performed with the excellence Devin did I’d be giving a glowing review. However with the installation mistakes with the grounding, the extra charge to fix it plus the loose control wiring I doubt I'd use them again
Jay was fantastic. He explained what he saw and the upgrade needed for code. He was the neatest workman ever. He put down plastic and left no mess from ceiling plaster. The light is beautiful and works like a dream. I would use him for any electrical project. He gave me a price beforehand and it was dead on. $139 an hour and worth his weight in gold
It went very good. He knew what he was doing. He was reliable and he showed up when he said he was going to. He cleaned up after himself and he finished on time. The cost was reasonable as well.
The rough in for our basement finish was quickly and professional completed. Also we stayed within of our set budget. We definitely would hire again for other electrical projects.
Exceptionally well. Mike, the electrician was on time, friendly, trustworthy and very tidy. He worked very efficiently and tried to be unobtrusive. He went out of his way to get the appropriate wall plate for our fans. The appointment was easy to schedule and we have no concerns to report.
Chris has maintained my truck for the past 5 years and is very fair in price (usually about 50% less than other shops) he is also great to work with, very fast turn around every time. I would definitely advise anyone to use Chris's service.

What do customers in Saint Paul say about Generator Repair?
. We had gotten three estimates for this project, and we found Midwest on Angie's List. John Anderson came out and gave us his company's estimate. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He also suggested we go through Home Depot to help finance this project which we did. The workman came on time at 8am, and went right to work. We had a new circuit breaker installed as our old was was not doing its job.They also discovered that our outside gas meter was venting constantly instead of intermittently, so called Center Point to check on it. Sure enough it was leaking natural gas. The Center Point person fixed this concern. We were grateful that Midwest discovered this. The workmen completed their tasks by 3pm, including cleanup. The last workman explained all the items we needed to know to my husband. We couldn't be more pleased, and would happily recommend Midwest to others.
