Jacobs Wind Generator
Our Jacobs Wind Generator was erected Fall of 2004.
We've had many problems with our Jacobs Wind
Generator, the manufacturer, and their lack of service. We
are currently not recommending you purchase a Jacobs Wind
Generator.
The manufacturer - WTIC (Wind Turbine Ind.) has failed
to provide support and parts in a timely manner. As of
February 2010, we were down for 9 months at a loss of
thousands of dollars in electric bills not to mention the
thousands of dollars it cost for repairs. This is
unconscionable!
The cost of electricity in our area is twice that of surrounding
areas due to membership in a co-op. So, when we are down
we loose lots of money quickly. Unfortunately our Jacobs
breaks down constantly!!
WTIC (Wind Turbine Ind.) only has two dealers in MI that
can perform repairs & they only work with their dealers. So,
if you manage to find someone to repair it WTIC won't
work with them. However, we've found that other local
wind generation companies won't touch it because it isn't
theirs. Our installer below, took the money & ran. He
didn't return any phone calls once it was installed.
"Northwoods Energy Alternatives
John Heiss, Lake Leelanau, MI".
The next dealer performed extremely slow repairs. The last
one took 9 months! Needless to say we felt the gun to our
heads. "Danwin Associates, Shawn Harris, Big Rapids,
MI" .
We were also very happy, like some others, when we first had
our Jacobs installed. We were the first location on the
"Intertie System" for Western Michigan & glad to be part of
the green movement. Not any more! We strongly
encourage you to contact us if you wish more information on
this matter or our experiences with wind generation in general.

We highly recommend using a local manufacturer - as close
as possible to where you live. Jacobs is located in
Wisconsin & only works with their dealers.
GOOD NEWS: The State of Michigan has finally
introduced "Net Metering" for small generation projects like
ours. ***Our unit broke down right after this took place. ***
Contact your State Legislator and the Michigan Public
Services Commission (MPSC) for more information on
"TRUE Net Metering".
