Your Twin Cities Partner for Every Electrical Job

From quick repairs to full system upgrades, our licensed electricians keep your wiring, panels, and lighting in good working order. We serve homeowners across the Minneapolis and Saint Paul metro area with safe, code-compliant electrical services that support everyday comfort, long-lasting equipment, and peace of mind.

Residential electrical services

Panels and power

Your electrical panel is the part of the house everything else depends on. If your breakers trip regularly, if you still have a fuse box, or if you are adding a big load like an EV charger, a hot tub or a finished basement, the panel is where that conversation starts. We handle electrical panel upgrades and service increases, along with circuit breaker repair and replacement when a single breaker is the problem rather than the whole panel. We also install whole-home surge protection at the panel, which protects the appliances and electronics that a plug-in strip never covers.

Wiring and rewiring

City Assessor parcel data for 2025 puts 68.4% of Minneapolis single-family parcels before 1940, and 78.9% before 1950. Houses that old were wired for a fraction of the electrical load a modern family puts on them, and much of St. Paul and the older inner suburbs looks the same. We add circuits, replace damaged or undersized runs, and rewire homes in stages or all at once, depending on what the house needs and what you want to spend. See electrical wiring services for the general work, or knob and tube wiring replacement if your home still has the original cloth-and-ceramic wiring from the early part of the last century. If you are opening up walls anyway, look at electrical remodeling services. That is the least expensive moment to fix wiring, and the easiest to miss.

Outlets, switches and lighting

This is the everyday work, and it is a large share of what we do. We install and replace outlets and switches, including GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages and outdoor locations, and dimmers and three-way switches. On the lighting side we handle indoor lighting, meaning recessed cans, under-cabinet lighting, fixture swaps and new fixture locations, and outdoor lighting for entries, garages, patios and landscape runs. Ceiling fan installation gets its own page because it is rarely as simple as it looks: most rooms that never had a fan also have a box that will not carry one.

Safety and inspections

An electrical inspection is worth doing when you buy a home, when you have just moved into an older one, or when something has been quietly bothering you: a warm outlet, a flickering light, a scorch mark on a plate. We look at the panel, the grounding, the wiring methods we can see, and the devices, and we tell you plainly what is a real hazard, what is worth planning for, and what is fine as it is. If you are selling in Minneapolis, the Truth in Sale of Housing report a buyer will read records your service amps and volts, whether there is a separate 20-amp kitchen circuit and a separate 20-amp laundry circuit, and findings like an ungrounded panel or a GFCI that will not trip. We would rather you saw those before the evaluator did. We also handle smoke detector installation and replacement, including hardwired and interconnected detectors, which is one of the least expensive safety upgrades in the house.

EV charging and smart home

If you have an electric vehicle on order or already in the driveway, we install home charging. Be aware that in a lot of Minneapolis and St. Paul homes the charger goes in a detached garage reached from the alley, and the City’s own Street Design Guide describes those roughly 426 miles of alleys as the primary loading access for most properties in the city. A garage back there means a feeder run to a separate structure rather than a quick install on a garage wall. On the smart home side we install smart switches and dimmers, smart panels and energy monitoring, hardwired doorbells and cameras, and lighting control. Older homes often need a neutral wire pulled to the switch box before smart switches will work, which is exactly the kind of thing worth finding out before you buy the hardware.

Repairs and troubleshooting

Sometimes you do not need a project, you need someone to find the problem. Electrical repair covers dead outlets and circuits, lights that flicker or dim when an appliance kicks on, breakers that will not reset, and burning smells you cannot place. We diagnose first and tell you what we found before we fix anything. Some of it will not wait. Sparks, burning odors, a panel making noise, water where power is: call for an emergency electrician. We offer same-day emergency service every day of the week.

What it is like to work with us

Our electricians are licensed. Minnesota takes electrical licensing seriously, and so do we. Every job is done to code and, where a permit is required, inspected.

Same-day service, Monday through Saturday. We are open six days a week and closed on Sundays. When you call, we will tell you honestly what today looks like rather than promising a window we cannot hold.

We diagnose first, then price the work. You get a fixed price before anything starts, and nothing gets added afterwards. If we find something unexpected mid-job, we stop and talk to you about it rather than letting the number drift.

Family-owned since 2002. Randy’s is still a family business, and the people who answer your call and show up at your door work for the same company they did last year.

More than 6,000 Google reviews averaging 4.8 stars. That is a lot of Twin Cities homeowners, and it is the clearest picture of what working with us is actually like.

What happens when we come out

An electrician arrives in a marked truck and introduces himself. You show him the problem or walk him through the project. He looks at the panel, because in an older home the panel answers a surprising number of questions, and then he looks at whatever you called about. When he has found the cause, he explains it to you in plain language: what is happening, why, what your options are, and what he would do if it were his house.

Then you get a price for the work, in writing, before anything starts. If you want to think about it, that is fine and there is no pressure to decide on the spot. If you want it done, we carry common parts on the truck and a large share of jobs are finished on that first visit. Where a permit and inspection are required, we take care of that too, so you are not left with paperwork after we drive away.

Where we work

We work in Minneapolis and St. Paul, north and west through Brooklyn Park, Blaine, Maple Grove, Rogers and Plymouth, west and south through Wayzata, Minnetonka, Edina, Eden Prairie, Bloomington and Shakopee, and south and east through Burnsville, Apple Valley, Eagan, Woodbury, Maplewood and Cottage Grove. If you are in Minneapolis, our Minneapolis electrical services page covers the housing stock and permitting specifics for the city. If you are not sure whether you are in our area, call and ask. The answer takes about ten seconds.

None of this is one kind of housing, and that shapes the work. In the Holland neighborhood in Northeast Minneapolis, 75.3% of buildings went up before 1940. In Armatage, in the southwest corner of the same city, the figure is 4.0%. Two addresses twenty minutes apart can be fifty years apart electrically, and the right fix in one is often the wrong fix in the other. Add the 4,439 parcels built between 1965 and 1973, when aluminum branch wiring was in use, and newer construction out in Woodbury and Rogers, and our electricians are working in four or five distinct wiring eras every week. That is the practical reason a local company is worth more to you here than a national one.

We also do plumbing. We added a plumbing division in 2025, staffed by licensed plumbers and run the same way as the electrical side, so if you have a water heater, a drain or a fixture problem alongside the electrical work, you can find it all on our plumbing services page and book both with one call.

Electrical Service FAQs

Do you offer same-day electrical service?

Usually, yes. We are open Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays, and we hold capacity each day for same-day calls. Call (763) 560-5600 early if you can. The earlier we hear from you, the better your chances of getting on the schedule that day.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. Our electricians are licensed in Minnesota, and the work is done to the code in force at the time your permit is filed. Where a permit and inspection are required, we handle that as part of the job.

How much does electrical work cost?

We do not quote prices over the phone, because a guess helps nobody. We come out, diagnose the problem, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. If you approve it, that is what you pay, and nothing gets added afterwards. If we find something unexpected once we are into the work, we stop and talk with you first.

Do I need a permit for electrical work at my house?

Often, yes, and it depends on your city. In Minneapolis, residential electrical permits come from the State of Minnesota through the Department of Labor and Industry rather than from the City. Other cities, including St. Paul and Minnetonka, run their own electrical permitting. We know which applies where we work, and we pull the permit as part of the job. One thing worth knowing: Minnesota currently enforces the 2023 National Electrical Code, and permits filed on or after August 17, 2026 must meet the 2026 code. The trigger is the date the permit is filed, not the date the work happens.

What kinds of electrical work do you do?

Residential electrical work of nearly every kind: panel upgrades and breaker work, wiring and rewiring, outlets and switches, indoor and outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, smoke detectors, surge protection, EV chargers, smart home devices, remodel wiring, inspections, and repairs and troubleshooting. If you do not see your project on this page, call and describe it.
