horrible service, inept, system still not working
November 1, 2022 by wantingtogosolar
Had solar panels, Generac inverter, and Generac battery installed over 1 year ago. System still not working properly. Oak never responds to my calls or emails. They only respond when I refuse to pay the rest of my invoice until I have a working system. Then someone comes out and looks at things and says they need to order some parts. Then they don't get back to me. They did finally replace some parts in the inverter but never asked if that solved the problems. It didn't. I am still waiting. I do not recommend this company AT ALL.
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
August 2, 2022 by ITSME123
If I could give this company a negative rating I would. My mom ordered a generator from Lowe's last fall. Lowe's contracted Oak Electric out of Waterford, MI to perform the install. The entire process has been a nightmare.
Did not respond

Called Oak to get an estimate on a generator installation. Left my name and phone number. Never received a call back. That tells me a lot about Oak. Enough said!!
Perfect

This is my first service from Oak. The customer contact person was very friendly and polite. The service person was on time and explained what was going on. He did the routine service and also showed me on old oil container that the previous service tech had left in the unit. I expect to use Oak Electric for future generator and other needs.
Professionalism

Oak Electric installed my generator 5 years ago and they maintain the generator on a yearly basis. The installation team was very friendly professional; I have not had any problems with the generator.
Excellent service
August 17, 2017 by Claudia
We just had a generator installed by Oak Electric. We received excellent service, every step of the way from the initial evaluation and proposal to the actual installation. They even made it easy for us to contact the gas company. And, they always confirmed appointments with us and showed up on time - truly amazing service.
The Oak Electric team was super.

The Oak Electric team did everything they said they would do and was very curtious and professional. I was very confident in their ability to perform excellent service and deliver a very high quality installation of our residential generator back up system.
This dealer is GREAT - A1 !!!

Great Service

We just had our generator installed. We have not had any power outages so we have not had a chance to use it.The sales person was knowledgeable, honest and not pushy. He definitely helped us see all of our options. We received email updates to remind us of our appointment ( I appreciate this). Our generator was installed on time. The crew were clean and courteous. They provided us with all of the information that we need to care for and maintain our generator.Oak Electric provided all of our needs so far regarding this generator.
Great Service

Oak Electric has done an outstanding job of installing and maintaining our whole house Generac Generator. I would recommend them to anyone.
The dealer always goes above and beyond!!
April 21, 2017 by Dreamacre86
The dealer always goes above and beyond. They make sure that your generator is service at the appointed time, and they are prompt. The serviceman is courteous and willing to explain and answer any questions that the customer might have. The dealer always sends out reminders when it is time to set up your appointment for service. I would always recommend this dealer for service and installation of a generator.

Oak Electric installed a whole house Generac generator at my home and the installation went smoothly, and the workers were very professional. I would consider them for any other home electrical work. Great job!
This dealer is great
January 26, 2017 by bruce
my dealings with oak electric were very good.Gary, the owner, came out to ck out my house for what was needed and compatibility with generac. He gave me an estimate on the spot and gave me an installation date. The 4 installation guys came out on time and did a great job on a nasty drizzly day.and cleaned up after themselves .
Great experience!
January 12, 2017 by Dale
From the original estimate, to project planning and implementation, everything went as planned. They showed up when they said they would, worked diligently and professionally, and completed generator installation ahead of schedule. Would recommend them to any homeowner considering a backup generator.
Job well done.
October 29, 2016 by Gordie
All of the workers on the crew were very professional and knew what they were doing.

Great dealer to work with!
June 22, 2016 by PapaBear62
We purchased a Whole home generator from Oak Electric in May of '16. They came out & installed it without a hitch. So far it is operating as expected, however we have yet to lose power to our home to give a response on how the generator responded. We would recommend Oak Electric to anybody who is in the market for one!
Oak Electric is very professional and gets the job done well in a timely manner.
February 20, 2016 by luckybackup
Oak Electric installed a Generac backup generator in our home within 6-7 hours. They sent 3 technicians to do the job, each with the specific expertise required. They did the installation with minimum disruption to the existing gas and electric service and we were hardly inconvenienced despite the extensive work being done. The work was clean and professional. We would recommend Oak Electric to anyone installing a Generac backup electrical system.
Excellent, Professional, Courteous!
February 9, 2016 by Bill
Jeremy, Brett and Lisa were a pleasure to work with. Purchasing and installation was made very easy. The "crew" did what they said they would and in the time frame stated. Lisa was able to move up the installation by a week. Jeremy explained the purchasing and installation very well. He sold me all the necessary equipment and didn't try to sell extras. Brett and the installation crew were friendly and courteous. Brett was there when I got home from work and explained all that I needed to know about the generator.The experience with Oak Electric was excellent! Would highly recommend them(in fact I already have) for their services.
Very professional! Great communication!
January 6, 2016 by Susan
Our whole house generator installation was done on time, quickly, and by three people that were knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Thank you!And the Generac unit is beautiful as well as functional and quiet - we are so pleased!
Outstanding company. Only call I made for generator installation.
December 28, 2015 by Rich
I recently moved and based on my experience with Oak Electric installing a generator at my last home the only call I made was to Oak Electric. The entire experience was outstanding from the sales call to the installation. The site was very muddy due to recent heavy rain and no landscaping at the new construction site. The crew did an excellent job taking their boots off each time they came in the house. I am very pleased with the generator and the installation.
great job!
December 28, 2015 by muk41
nice guys, showed up on time, got their work done quickly, cleaned up after themselves. what more can you ask for?
Install was as smooth as promised by Oak Electric salesperson.
December 11, 2015 by Marco
Brett and his team did a fantastic Generac install. Brett was open to answer questions along the way. He was comfortable with an "interested" customer. Started at 8:30 am and completed by day's end. Very professional team. Everyone knew there job and acted accordingly. Can't say enough about this team and time Brett spent at end explaining the unit and its exercise cycle. To date, it exercises each week with a green light!
This dealer is fantastic!
October 13, 2015 by Murf
Just to let you know the crew did a fantastic job. They were very professional and personable. I was thoroughly happy with the the install and the way they left the site. The master electrician Dave did an exceptional job as did the rest of the crew.Again, I'm really satisfied with Oak Electric and feel like I made the correct choice in selecting them. I did my research and I am convinced it was worth it to end up with Oak Electric.

The worst service ever had. Came out and would not warrant the problem because they wanted to upswell there terrible service. Computer board bad and installed and took out then charged 200.00 for there problem bad service. Do not use
Oak Electric did a very good job.
October 5, 2015 by Sparky
Joe, my salesman and Chad, the lead man on the installation were very good. As a retired tradesman, I was impressed with Chad's installation techniques. I have not had the city inspection to confirm the installation. My only surprise was that the gas piping was done in flexible tubing, not gas pipe and the power cables used aluminum wire, not copper. The installation occurred 4 days ago so except for the test outage, new generator has not been put to the 'real test'.
Oak Electric did a great job!
September 17, 2015 by Mike
Very professional, on time, friendly. Would highly recommend.
Very Professional
July 6, 2015 by Frank220
Oak Electric did everything a customer can ask.From quoting to final installation.
Oak Electric did a very good installation, better than expected.
May 25, 2015 by Flyingtomcat
The Oak Electrial Team was excellent to work with from the time I contacted them through completion of the installation. The installation crew was knowledgeable and professional. They did everything I asked to be done and were very pleasant to be around. The generator has ran flawlessly, I would highly recommend them and the Generac product.
Oak Electric did a great job!

Excellent service - friendly and on-time.
March 18, 2015 by Rod
Installation was completed in 2 days. This was due to the difficulty in removing old commercial generator. System is up and running. Technicians were friendly and knowledgeable.Highly recommend this company.
Great install from Oak Electric
March 17, 2015 by Racheal
Oak Electric came to install a generator at my home, they were on time, very professional, answered all question when asked. Cleaned up after themselves. Over all outcome was very satisfied.
Excellent work
March 16, 2015 by CHI
We had 3 estimates for our generator and chose Oak electric because of your location and also a neighbor recommended you. Having the installation done on March 6th with all the snow on the ground, we were impressed with the skill and efficiency of the workers. The crew was both courteous and professional. We would highly recommend Oak electric.
very professional
March 16, 2015 by harcourt60

Outsatnding In All Respects
March 9, 2015 by bronco69
Oak Electric did an OUTSTANDING job in upgrading our breaker panel. They call when they were on their way, showed up on time, were very friendly and professional. Cleaned up after they were done. Even helped us exercise our standby Generac generator. Great Job!!
7 months and still waiting
February 19, 2015 by Sparty75
Our generator has been installed for seven months and it is has been a fiasco. I have two electrical panels and only sending power to one from the transfer switch. The re-wired panel was overloaded. The wrong circuits were put into the wrong panel. The 2 panels were mis-marked. We lost power and several breakers tripped and others circuits were in the wrong panel. It takes weeks to get someone out here. Great salesman the worst install ever. Still waiting
Excellent service!!!!!
February 7, 2015 by Tom23515
Job was completed on time on budget wonderful team from sales to install to follow up, would recommend them to anybody who wanted a generator, made me feel at ease the whole time.

This dealer was able to obtain great financing. The installation was as scheduled. They also did a great job of restoring my site after installation. their product knowledge was excellent
A well done job-both sales and installation.
January 21, 2015 by P40
The Oak Electric organization was very professional in its sales presentation as well as the installation of the Generac.
Oak Electric provided great service!
January 18, 2015 by HappyCustomer
Oak Electric provided excellent service from start to finish. The Sales Associate was professional, detailed, addressed all questions, and was prompt to visit our residence and provide options and quotes. The technicians who installed the generator were knowledgeable, respectful, focused on doing the job well, and took the time to answer any questions and walk us through what we need to know about our new Generac generator.
Professional Install
January 11, 2015 by Dave

Oak Electric installed our Generac generator very professionally. They did a nice job of preplanning and going over the plan with me. And they cleaned up nicely after the work was done.
Nonresponsive - poor customer service
September 8, 2014 by frustrated
I left several messages 3 days ago when our generator failed to start during a power outage and I'm still waiting for a simple return call. Although their ad states 24/7 emergency service, all phone numbers I tried for them went to the same recorded message indicating they'll call back at THEIR earliest CONVENIENCE! Apparently it hasn't yet been convenient for them to return my call. How can they state 24/7 service when their calls do not even transfer to an answering service? One time when I called it stated their mailbox was full. From my experience, the customer service was not what you would expect from a business with high ratings from Generac and they lost a new customer because of it.
Nothing But Problems
May 13, 2014 by AmericasGardener
Installed a Generac 48KW and have had nothing but problems with it. It continually fails to start during its weekly exercise and goes into overcrank shutdown. Have to wait 2 weeks typically to get it serviced and then if fails again shortly after. What good is a generator if it fails to work when needed and service won't respond in a timely manner.
this dealers is great
May 12, 2014 by kaiser
They were very professional and kept there appointment, also helped me answer any questions I had about my generator, and jeremy sold me the right size for my house and it did what he said it would. Its been at my house working since 2008
A very good experience from beginning to end!
April 7, 2014 by DandB
All of the representatives of Oak Electric were prompt and respectful of my time, home and the cost of a substantial investment. I was able to reach Jeremy quickly if the need arose.The crew of Josh, Dave, and Eric were all polite, efficient, and cleaned up after their work. A positive experience!
Oak Electric did a great job.
February 19, 2014 by mitiger
Oak Electric installed our 20KWH Genentech Back up Generator on 2/4/14.Their approach from initial discussion to installation was comprehensive and helpful. Although this device is expensive, the effort made and time taken to install correctly was evident. The team of three led by Ryan was able to install on an extremely cold day. Whenever I have questions, Oak Electric provides me with answers.
EXCELLENT experience
January 20, 2014 by JRS5215
Oak Electric went beyond my expectations in terms of service. They were very professional and extremely responsive (answered my emails immeditately) to any questions I had. They made the details very easy to understand. On the date of install, the service people went out of their way to make sure that I was satisfied that all circuits that I wanted covered were covered. Showed up right on time first thing in the am, cleaned up afterwards. It was a pleasure using Oak Electric and wouldnt consider going elsewhere--even now for routine maintenance of my generator. Great experience!
Highly recommend oak Electric
September 28, 2013 by G2
Everyone I came in contact with at Oak Electric was knowledgeable, kind and professionable. Jeremy took time to go over everything with me ahead of installation. He dealt with the gas company, permits and ordering. He was only a phone call away if I had any concerns. The men who installed the generator were careful and knew their job. They answered any and all questions. They doubled checked everything. I would be happy to recommend Oak Electric and Generac to my friends.
Jeremy is wonderful!
June 10, 2013 by Linny
I am so impressed with Jeremy of Oak Electric! I got my generator in January and I emailed him a question in June and within 1 MINUTE he got back to me- NO exaggeration!!!! This is what I call wonderful service!!! So happy I chose Oak Electric and Jeremy!L.M.Franklin

THE INSTALLERS WERE ON TIME. THEY EXPLAINED WHAT HAD TO BE DONE. THE INSTALLERS ADVISED THE AMOUNT OF TIME REQUIRED TO DO THE JOB. THEY EXPLAINED HOW THE GENERATOR WORKS AND HOW IT OPERATES. I WAS ADVISED THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND COST. THEY WERE PLEASANT TO TALK TO AND ANSWERED OUR MANY QUESTIONS PATIENTLY. THE ENTIRE JOB WAS HANDLED VERY PROFESSIONALLY. MY HUSBAND HAS ADVISED HIS FRIENDS THAT WE HAVE PURCHASED OUR GENERATOR FROM "OAK ELECTRIC". ALONG WITH YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
Highly Recommended
March 28, 2013 by RD
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everyone was very knowledgeable and did a great job. Jeremy was excellent to work with and the install team was very courteous and efficient.
Top-notch
February 12, 2013 by dgb
Outstanding form start to finish. Very thorough and professional. I like working with a company where all they do is generators. This is means a lot of experience at the one thing that I want them to be good at. Jeremy definately delivered on what he promised. Thank-you for such a great job! I am telling my neighbors!
Adverse weather conditions didn't stop install.
September 16, 2012 by CompletelySatisfiedCustomer
Three gentlemen called and arrived exactly when scheduled. About 1 hr into project the weather went from sprinkles to a downpour that lasted a several hours but they kept working. Because the power had to be shut off for them to work they hooked up a gas power generator to my sump pump so that it could keep up with the rain and not flood my finished basement. They also made sure that I had all the manuals and a walk through of the work they did and explained operation of my new whole house generator. The also cleaned up outside and inside too. I am very pleased with the work they did while putting up with some much rain, wind and mud. Thanks again. Great Job.
Wonderful Service
July 30, 2012 by Donna12
They were 15 minutes early and finished about 1 hour ahead of schedule. They were all very courteous and professional. Thanks Jeremy, Ryan, Justin, Nate, Jake, David and Brett. Great job guys.
Great installation from Oak Electric
July 18, 2012 by John
I owned a 12 yr old 15kW generator (powering 12 circuits in my home on an auto transfer switch) that was damaged recently. I called Oak Electric (Michelle) to get a repair quote as well as other repair/replace options. I ended up purchasing a new 20kW generator with a service rated 200A Nexus Smart switch. Now we have "whole house" power as well as the ability to power air conditioners (due to the smart switch).
Oak Electric did a fine job.
July 13, 2012 by Adam
I wanted a turn-key, hassle-free sale and installation. Oak Electric delivered on both fronts. I was so pleased, I bought the same generator for a family member from Oak Electric.
solid
July 13, 2012 by T
installed solar panels and generator 2 years ago. all working as it should and no problems
Provided obsoleted parts
April 22, 2012 by leapout
Oak installed an automatic switch panel that had been obsoleted by the manufacturer 2 years before our installation.When the panel failed Oak wanted $300.00 to fix it.The owner of Oak refused to talk to me about them standing behind the obsoleted panel.
One of the better contractors I have had do work in my house!
March 3, 2012 by Norm
I experienced no problems of any kind in the "generator process". I was given several alternatives as to generator size (depending on how extensive I wanted the stand-by to be). The obtaining of the permit was expedient and installation was scheduled upon receipt of the permit.The workmen installing the generator were courteous and professional. They were familiar with what needed to be done (such as relocating circuits) based on my prior discussion with the salesperson. The installation of the wiring, gas lines, etc. was very neatly done. The installation concluded with a short course for me in Generator 101
