I hired Midwest to install a new breaker panel, add a few outlets, and a vent fan in the bathroom. The entire experience was exactly what you want when hiring a professional. Office staff was easy to reach via phone and email. The estimate was very thorough and was well explained. The electricians doing the work were on time, polite, explained things well, and did the job right, and the price was competitive. Midwest was also one of the only companies that would take care of the roof venting for the bathroom fan instead of forcing me to either do it myself or hire a second company. read more

Tony just completed my yearly maintenance. Good guy, great job. This is my 3rd year with this total home generator. So glad I have it. Works really well. It is seamless when the power goes out. It can be summer/winter with everything running in the home and you would not know the generator is powering the house. With all the powerplants being shuttered I feel safe when the brownouts start happening. read more

Maxx S did my annual maintenance of our Generac generator today. It was definitely a 5 star visit. Maxx is friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. When he finished, he even showed me how to make use of the app so I can get notifications when the generator runs. I highly recommend this company ... all the employees I've encountered so far have been stellar! read more

So we arranged to have this installed, all good.... But when the guys arrived they let us know that they didn't have the generator with them because it came in dented....this was the same generator the John Anderson and his sales technics told me I better move quick or it might be gone... but the guys in the truck said it just got delivered the day before. Already off to a bad start! My husband and taken the day off to be around to keep the dogs away from the guys to only need to take 2 TWO more days off for this. These guys came, stomped all over my new landscaping plants, bent my brand new seamless gutters, nobody said anything. A week later the "new" generator came in and I truly don't even know if either crews were actual electricians because there work was sloppy maybe they were the scraps off the bench, not impressed. They did get everything done and yes it works but...... I cannot tell you how many phone calls, emails and text messages I had sent to John the "owner" with zero response back. 3 months later they needed to close out the electric permit, another day off. This was without a doubt the worst experience I have ever had with the workmanship and the customer service. I would NEVER recommend this company and John is a joke! Stay VERY far away from this company! read more

See all

Worse company ever do your due diligence and don't get scam like I did. Obviously I'm not gonna use my real name due to this company's known Retaliation and intimidation tactics... Consumers be warned. They have too many reviews from friends and family members just trying to give them a good name. Unfortunately their work ethic and quality of work just isn't there, read the fine print. read more

We had the company install a generator at our home and also purchased additional maintenance plan

We trusted this company with our hard-earned money to provide a service that we worked hard for. This company did not come through on any of their promises. Do not trust this company read more

Purchased a 13k Generator from this company. They wouldn't come to the house in advance due to covid, but they were ok sending the two technicians' to install it. They butchered my main electrical box in my garage. They moved the most important breakers on the outside of my house where it is unsecured along the garage. They told me it was a transfer switch. After realizing this I attempted to contact them and the office personnel keep telling me someone will get back to me. Its been 5 weeks and I've contacted them once a week and no answer. This is the worst customer service I ever dealt with. I just filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau and plan to sue them in small claims court to get my electrical box repaired before winter. Please DO NOT use this Company! read more

Just received a call from this company after we had already booked to have them install our ceiling fan. We had used them before so we wanted to use them again. We were told that the job was "too small" and wouldn't do the fan. I guess,as the person said on the phone, it's a "last week" change. Sadly, we took our business elsewhere. read more

Didn't get proper permits before completing work Didn't pass inspection for mechanical permit. Very poor work. Installation of ventilation fan for bathroom. Midwest would not come out to fix this, my husband emailed with the president and could not get them to repair the work. A few weeks after they installed we turned on the fan and all the overhead lights went out. Midwest stated they could not come fix this for a week. Called other electricians who told us Midwest needs to be the one to fix. Midwest came out and charged us again to fix. Had to call the city (mechanical permit) and the state department of labor (electrical permit) to find that Midwest had not gotten the proper permits to complete this work despite stating that they would do so. The man at the dept of labor didn't seem surprised about the complaint against Midwest. He got them to refund the money for fixing the power outage as we should not have been charged for this. Midwest had another company we never heard of (Practical Systems) get the mechanical permit so that when it didn't pass inspection it was on Practical Systems rather than Midwest (almost like they knew it wouldn't pass inspection). During the inspection the city inspector specifically told us not to fix the work in the winter as it is not the proper time to work on shingles. Midwest wanted to come out to fix in January, we asked them to please wait until spring. After all the trouble we had my husband took off the day from work to be here when they did the repair. The technician called in sick and they couldn't send anyone else. We paid over $1,000 for this terrible job. Never refunded a single penny of the original work. read more

Midwest Electric & Generator - Electricians Near Me - Elk River, Minnesota

Got two ceiling fans replaced for $269, not super cheap but the workers were prompt, courteous and did a great job. They even got rid of the old ones for me. read more

Great service from start to finish. No project ever goes perfectly and we worked through the issues with our generator install very professionally. From the salesman who gave us a quote down to the install guys and the office assistant who scheduled everything, their service was great. I would highly recommend using Midwest for any generator needs. We had a 22kw Generac emergency backup generator installed at our house because we lose power all the time. Thanks Midwest! read more

Nik the tech was very very nice. Did a quick and thorough job and very professional. Wud recommend Midwest for any work that needs to be done. Thank you,Midwest read more

They installed a Generac fall-back at our town-home in mid-July. Very professional staff and installation. So far everything is in place and working fine. Haven't had to depend on it during a power outage yet, but the automatic test runs are going off fine. The unit is very hi-tech with everything automatic. It's permanently connected, runs on natural gas (or propane), starts and shuts down automatically during a power failure automatically. During an outage, I wouldn't want to be doing a hookup, pouring in fuel and starting it myself. It wasn't cheap though, but if you want a permanent installation and can afford it, it's the way to go. read more

Very unhappy with Midwest Electric & Generator. I indicated, when scheduling the service call, that the gas needed to be drained from the generator. Supposedly, this was not communicated to the tech that came out. He said he would have to come back later and take the generator to the shop and that I would be charged another $160 fee for the additional call. Talk about BAIT and SWITCH. I decided to cancel the whole thing. The tech said I would not be charged for the initial call as he was only there for a few minutes. However, I was billed for $160. I sent them $50 in good faith and told them I didn't intend to pay the rest. Now, they've turned it over to a collection agency and the payoff is $219.70. Very unethical. I will NEVER use this company for anything again. read more

Midwest was great to work with. Our initial meeting went really well. They were clear on the price and process for installation. The day of installation was well organized, the crew was done in about 6 hours. Ryan & Cory were helpful in explaining how the generator and maintenance plan will work. read more

I paid 169 to have someone come out to look at a problem he apparently fixed it and left with in 30 min. The next day the breaker sounds worse than before they came in. I called to get someone back in to look at it but was told i need to pay another 169 to have someone come out! On top of that they are telling me the whole breaker box needs to be change which will cost 1000K so these guys fixed nothing, made it worse and when I called them told me about a completely different thing than was I was told the day off? DO NOT TRUST. read more
