Best Standby Generators in Columbus OH

Didn’t need to schedule far out for the estimate and during estimate ended up figuring out one of the problems and fixed it quickly then and there and for a very fair price. Hope the other estimates come back good and we can use them again.

Update: Super fair pricing and wonderful service. They came back with an estimate and were able to schedule the work quickly and easily. Edgar and his coworker both did the estimate and the actual work so they knew what we wanted and did exactly that! They are efficient, nice and polite young men. I am so impressed by their work and will use Buckeye for any future electrical needs.

We dealt with another electric company for a while, but that company frequently didn't answer calls during business hours, so we love that phone calls are accepted at Efficient Electric, even past regular business hours. They are prompt to set up appointments and we are very satisfied with their customer service and their work. After receiving the invoice, we are happy to say that this company is very cost effective too!

We are highly disappointed with our experience with Safeway. We used them through our builder. We called to set up a walk through as well as pay for an added fan rough in. They gladly took our money for the fan rough in but said they no longer did walk throughs to pick out outlet placement. We believed them. Once we had our pre drywall meeting we found out that was not true and we should have had that meeting. We now have cords all over due to believing them. Very unhappy and completely unavoidable. We then asked again before drywall and they declined to make it right.

Getting better, we will see how they finish

called because a A/c unit has been freezing up. They sent an electrician instead of HVAC tech. He said he called and got one dispatched for that afternoon. So I went ahead and used the electrician for a separate project. I stayed until 8:30 that night waiting on HVAC. Still nobody a week later. So I called asking if they had ever planned to have a HVAC tech come out. No sense of urgency at all. Told me the same thing as the last time, that it would be the next morning. We are a nursing home facility and do not really appreciate getting the end-around. especially after being understanding of the confusion and still did business for the electrician.

Nate was very professional and on time for our scheduled appointment. Nate did a great job!

Lyle repaired a GFI outlet. He was very friendly and conscientious. He even gave us an electricity lesson. ?

exceeded expectations! Will have them back.

A REGRETTABLE EXPERIENCE : I had a Kohler 14RCA whole house generator installed w/ 4 estimates. Sears, Electrical connections, MEI & Generac. MEI is the only company that didn't visit the house, didn't return calls or provide requested feedback, instead asked for information via Email & submitted their bid via email. Their bid was next to lowest priced & the only one to include a Kohler whole house generator, a 14 RCA. I selected them based on that & scheduled the install via email one month in advance w/ confirmation. Richard Pichette arrived on schedule Friday morning BUT didn't have a generator, equipment, supplies or any information provided regarding the install. He scoped the house, made a list & said he would return. Four hours later he did return w/ some supplies but no generator. They were looking for one, supply houses were out & he apologized. I wasn't impressed. It was a two day installation scheduled for consecutive Fridays by my work schedule. He began working and then received a call from his office regarding another job in Cincinnati, talked to them for 90 minutes & excused himself for the day & asked if he could return Saturday to complete the work, it was more convenient than the following Friday for them so I agreed. He arrived Saturday morning at 9am w/ a generator & worked till 7pm w/ my permission but a coupler on the generator was wrong & didn't fit. He asked for payment at that time stating he would return w/ the proper coupler to complete the job & I refused. I said bring the correct piece, make it right & you'll b paid. The next day unexpectedly he called, had the right coupler & had permission to return if ok w/ me. He did finish the job, correctly & everything was fine. Let me state Richard Pichette installation & finish product is FIRST RATE, he worked on the house like it was his but the process & company was insulting at best. One week after the installation I came home to a puddle of oil on the ground inside the generator. After talking to Richard & Dave the sales MGR I found out this generator has a defective oil ring inside that leaks & defective control panels known to MEI, yet to be addressed by Kohler not brought to my attention. They promised to fix it & make it right. It took two weeks & several phone calls for MEI to come out w/ the replacement part and 5 hours labor to break the engine down to replace a defective Oil ring. Several voice and email messages to Kohler have yielded NO results regarding these issues. Do NOT purchase a 14RCA generator, so far on 3/15/23 it's been a REGRETTABLE EXPERIENCE.

Excellent support and quick turn around on parts

I signed the contract for a whole house backup generator on August 16, 2022. Every step of the process was more difficult than it needed to be. I had to call for updates as almost nothing was ever communicated to me. I had to pester them to schedule things. After much legwork on my part, the generator was finally installed in late February. As of this writing (May 25, 2023), my generator still does not work, even though it's been paid in full. The techs tested it, but every time we have an actual power outage, it does absolutely nothing. I work from home and the main idea behind getting the generator is that it would protect me from the occasional power outages that happen in the country. So, instead of actually being able to do my job, I have to call to have someone come out and that normally ends with promises that they will come back and fix it later because they cannot correct whatever is wrong with the generator this time. And then burn vacation time because I am physically incapable of doing my work. To say I am frustrated and disappointed is a massive understatement.

Closed , bad phone number
