  Love these true professionals. The installed a whole house Generac generator. We have use them in the past to install a car charger and other electrical work. We are a repeat customer .Their pricing is very fair .Their workmanship is very neat, clean and done very well. Will use them again for future electrical projects.

  A small leak had been noted between our gas meter and our Generac generator. Technician Zair was sent to check out the problem. He examined our full operational system and told us what needed to be corrected. He solved our problems, and also showed us an upgrade that needed to be made. He was very courteous and left us with the feeling that when it is time for our annual check up this fall, we want him to do the servicing. We would highly recommend him.

  I have used Oakwood for my generator maintenance and service for years. We had a recent prolonged outage. They sent a rep back to our house to take pictures as we were out of town. The office updated me a number of times—just to provide great service. Highly recommend.

  I had a serious electrical issue where the source of the problem was complex. I knew I needed the "A" team.. I am extremely grateful to Arvy at Oakwood Electric & Generator as he got right to carefully and methodically sourcing the problem very quickly and that wasn't easy because although my interior electric had an unknown cause of a dead short from over 15 outlets, Arvy found the source of the problem on the exterior switch on the porch that had burned. (Clearly very serious!) He also checked many other outlets and made sure I was going to be ok after the repair. Clearly Arvy and Oakwood Electric are the "A" team and I am very grateful to the smart efficient work but also for caring for my safety. I highly recommend Arvy at Oakwood Electric in Westmont . Thank you! Suzanne

  I have received Annual Generator Maintenance ($280) from Oakwood Electric since 2020. I scheduled the routine service for this week 3/3/2026. The technician performed maintenance checks, changed battery because it was 5 years old ($125), then informs me the oil pressure light/sensor is on. He stated, the company would call me to send out another Technician. Oakwood Electric stated I would have to pay a service fee ($190) to send out a technician to troubleshoot the problem and also pay for any parts needed for repair. I immediately declined! I called another company located in Downers Grove. They sent out a technician the following morning, he fixed the issue within 20 minutes. It didn’t cost anywhere close to Oakwood Electric service fee of $190 plus the cost of parts. PLEASE STOP continuing business with companies based on loyalty!!! Take the time to shop around. UPDATE: To be clear, the other company I used have “Qualified Technicians,” who customarily, carry spare parts (specifically GENERAC) in their company vehicles when performing annual maintenance service. Had I used this company initially, I would have only paid (1) Annual Maintenance Fee and (2) Cost of Repair Part w/o any downtime. The Technician Oakwood Electric sent out to perform Annual Maintenance, specifically said he could “not” troubleshoot the issue and another Technician would have to come out, thus leading to (1) inoperable generator, (2)$190 Service Fee other company service fee was $70 ;-) (3) cost of spare part. It’s equivalent to hiring an electrician to install a light fixture, but he/she is only qualified to change a light bulb. In the Procurement world Oakwood Electric Business Practice is what we call “low-balling” or “buying in.” I “NEVER”threatened to leave a review, I was informed of the price(s). I replied, Thank You!
