Jim Kerwin founded Kerwin Electric in 1975, initially operating out of his barn in Schoolcraft, Michigan. With his extensive knowledge of agricultural power, he quickly became a preferred contractor among the local farmers. This work led to various residential and small commercial contracts; his business quickly grew to about ten employees, and the business nearly doubled in size over the next decade. In 2000, Chad began the process of taking over the business. With the additional management personnel in place, Kerwin Electric was able to diversify its services to include everything from automatic standby generators to wind/solar solutions. Jim still takes part in running the business and continues working in the field today; he makes sure that the company maintains its core principles of providing quality service at a fair price.
Kerwin came out over a month ago to give me an estimate on a whole house generator and have yet to receive anything. I'll make sure to tell my customers that they must have enough work and I will stop referring them.

My husband and I were getting bids for a whole house generator. Chad Kerwin came out on 7/3. Seemed like a nice guy. When I called the following week, I attempted to leave a voicemail on his number. It was full. I then spoke with a very nice lady at the front desk. I told her that his mailbox was full. She then looked up our information and didn’t find a report for Chad’s visit. I verified our email address for the quote. We NEVER received anything. We figured since they couldn’t even give us a quote, why would we want them to do the job and then worry about their service!

Zero stars. I would never do business with this company. They don't pay their bills. Very unprofessional.
