Critical: Responsiveness I had them out to my home 6 weeks ago for a backup system. Didn't hear from them for two weeks for quote. Called and was told it would be ready in a couple days. I haven't heard from them since. Guess they really aren't interested in my business!

Report
After several years of losing our electric due to wind and ice storms, I wanted a generator for our house. My husband wanted to just bury the electric lines coming into the house, but I wanted a backup! I contacted several electric companies that sold generators. I researched, compared several generators and compared several companies that. installed them. I decided that the GENERAC was the one for us.
I had several neighbors that had that brand. I was told by one of my neighbors that Wagner Electric installed a generator for them. Although there was a back order on the GENERAC generator, it was installed today. I can not praise the professionalism and the work ethics of the guys that installed it, Bill, Bryan and Nick! They worked in the cold for over 7 hrs to get my generator installed and running.
After they left I noticed my furnace thermostat saying error. I called Steve that sold me the generator and he said that the guys would turn around and be right back, they came back and the fixed it! Thank you Wagner Electric Employees!

From day 1, Wagner Electric was very responsive and had many suggestions for our project. I feel when it comes to Electric companies they are easily your best choice.
