Commercial & Home Generator Installation & Service in Northern Iowa
Five-Star Automatic Generator Installation & Repair in the Blizzard Belt
hy Northern Iowa Trusts Midwest Electric for Backup Power Every Winter
Power and Security for Every Seasonal Storm
A look outside during a major storm tells you why Northern Iowa is called the “blizzard belt.” As thick, powdery white precipitation falls, 35 MPH and over winds take down tree limbs and power lines, and ice coats practically every surface. Being indoors is exactly where you want to be.
Once April arrives, however, heavy snow shifts to intense rain or hail — also accompanied by strong winds and elevated tornado and flooding risks. By summer, the winds die down, only to be replaced with humidity and temperatures rising into the 90s.
No matter what our region delivers, count on a Midwest Electric and Generator power solution to get you through it. The local utility lines might be down, but with one of our top-of-the-line systems installed, you have light, heat, a way to prepare food and the foundation to run your business.
We’ve served the Upper Midwest for roughly two decades, offering not only generators built to weather the storm but also on-call maintenance appointments, knowledgeable service at every stage and round-the-clock monitoring.
24/7 Generator Service in Northern IA
But there’s one caveat of owning an automatic generator: Your system requires periodic maintenance.
You may also find that extreme weather exposure — whether deep-freezing temperatures, hail, record winds or flooding — necessitates a service call. These factors invite corrosion and contribute to damage like worn or cracked parts, ultimately affecting how your generator functions.
Whatever the reason for your call, we won’t make you wait. 24/7 availability ensures you have power for whatever Northern Iowa weather brings, and for routine service to repeat shutdowns, our local in-house team runs diagnostics, uses premium parts for repairs and verifies our work through testing. We support everything we do with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and some of the industry’s best warranties.
Looking to identify an issue right when it happens? Sign up for monitoring to review your generator’s performance directly from your phone.
Give yourself predictability and certainty when extreme is a seasonal occurrence in our state. To start, come by our showroom to learn more about standby generator models from Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, Generac and Winco for residential or commercial use. Our factory-trained sales team will explain their features and benefits based on your specific needs, like running a business or powering a family member’s medical equipment.
After, we begin the installation process, which entails taking measurements of your property to create blueprints. These dimensions and direction serve as customized guidance for our licensed professionals, who often complete the job — breaking ground to testing — in just one day.
