"I ordered an Eaton standby generator from Allied Generators working with their sales manager, Roger Heath.  Despite some glitches with Xcel Energy regarding the gas line, and a miscommunication with the electrical inspector, I was extremely pleased with Roger and the company.  They kept in touch with me, worked promptly with Xcel and the inspector to resolve the problems (which were not Allied's fault!) over a period of a couple of months. The Allied folks, which included a plumber and an electrician, were all knowledgeable, professional, and showed up promptly.  I was happy with the whole process. <br /> I had also received some bids from a couple of electricians, and I shudder to think of the problems I would have had should I have taken their bids.  Installation of one of these generators requires some specialized knowlege unique to the generator, and had I gone with a non-specialist, I am afraid I would be engaged in a long fight over who did not do what correctly. <br /> I haven't actually used the generator yet because there have been no power outages, but it did test out perfectly.  I am assuming it will work correctly and I will have no reason to regret this glowing review. <br /> <br />"

"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."

"We have been taking our two Subarus to Alexander's for a couple of years now for scheduled maintenance and repairs. Most recently we had our 2005 Subaru Impreza there for scheduled maintenance and it was discovered that some expensive repairs were needed, including replacing all brakes and rotors and replacing leaking valves in the engine. Luckily we had an extended warranty that covered the engine issues. While they had the engine opened, they noticed that the timing belt was looking wowrn and advised me to change it at that time since there would be no additional cost for labor and the labor was being covered by the warranty. They saved me a healthy sum of money by doing that. We are purchasing another used import and fully intend to use Alexander's for all of our cars. Wes and William have always been very friendly and accommodating, and welcoming to our young children as well. It's nice to finally have found a mechanic shop that we trust."

"Our electrician, Chris, was fabulous. Not only did he do all of the work professionally and timely, he also took the time to show us how to change to a GFI outlet in other areas of the house. We recently had a brand new peninsula built and new floors installed in our kitchen and asked him to put in an outlet at the end of the peninsula. Instead of drilling through the new floor for the wiring (as the flooring guys said would need to happen), he took the time to rin the line from the wall, inside the cabinets, securing it to the top and encasing it in a metal tubing to protect it--great job. Thankfully, he was agile enough to fit into our attic to run the other wiring needed! <br />"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Le Sueur, MN

There is often some confusion about the type of work these professionals do. They only work on electrical systems such as outlets, lighting fixtures and electrical panels – they aren’t appliance repairmen.

There are three types of electricians: Master, Journeyman and Apprentice. Electrical licensing varies quite a bit by state. Some have licenses for apprentices and some do not. Some have a master’s rank while others stop at journeyman. Despite the differences, they all require a minimum amount of experience and usually classroom time.

  • Apprentice electricians aren’t usually licensed and spend 4 years learning the trade. Throughout that time, they work on a wide range of projects to learn to become a Journeyman. They’ll do basic work like installing fixtures and replacing outlets all the way to assisting in wiring a home. Regardless of the type of project, they must always be supervised by a Journeyman or Master electrician.

  • Journeymen work without supervision. In a few states, this is the highest level available and they can do all levels of work from wiring a new home to installing a light. In some states, they need a separate electrical contractor license to run a business. In places with a master’s level, a journeyman can do all work besides design new electrical systems.

  • Master electricians usually manage a shop, design new electrical systems in new construction and oversee both Journeyman and Apprentices. They typically bid new projects. Though they focus on larger projects, it’s not unheard of for a homeowner to request a Master Electrician for a house call. If you do, expect to spend up to 25% more for the visit.

Generally, you don’t tip electricians, but that’s not to say they don’t appreciate it if you do. You can offer them something to drink or eat, like coffee and donuts. Most will appreciate it if you do.

The education and certifications required to become an electrician vary by state, though they generally follow this list:

  1. Apprentice

    • Does not always require a license depending on the state.

    • Learns on the job under Journeyman and Master Electricians.

    • Usually needs 4 years on-the-job training before they can test for a Journeyman license. Many states also require a technical degree to advance.

    • Always require supervision.

  2. Journeyman

    • Needs between 8,000 to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training and usually 500 to 1,000 hours of classroom experience.

    • Can usually supervise apprentices.

    • They can diagnose and repair electrical problems.

  3. Master

    • Achieved after an additional two years (4,000 hours) working as a Journeyman and taking the Master Electrician Exam.

    • Besides diagnosing and repairing electrical systems, they also design them. In most places they run shops and inspect Journeyman and Apprentice work.

    • Not a recognized rank in all states.

  4. Electrical Contractor License is an optional license in some states for a Master Electrician to run a business. Some states have this instead of the Master license.

Electricians make an average of $26 per hour but it ranges with experience and licensing. An apprentice may make about half that while a Master Electrician may hit closer to $40 per hour. This figure represents how much they make; not how much they bill. Their salary is only one component of their costs. They must also figure in overhead, taxes, equipment, insurance and several other expenses.

Leave electrical work to the professionals. Electrical systems are complex and potentially hazardous when not handled and installed correctly. If it were easy, it wouldn’t take 4 years to become a journeyman or 6 years for a master’s license. If you are determined to forge ahead yourself, understand home electrical safety before beginning any project.Even for simple common electrical projects, a licensed pro is best. Not only is it safer, but contractors guarantee and insure their work. Hire a professional to keep your home’s electrical systems functioning properly and safely.
