Frequently Asked Questions
Looking for an electrician in White Bear Lake, MN? Give us a call today.
(651) 382-9397What kind of electrical work do you do?
We handle most home and small business electrical work in White Bear Lake and nearby towns. That includes repairs, outlets, panel upgrades, lighting, surge protection, EV chargers, ceiling fans and generator hookups. If your job is not on that list, call and ask.
How much does an electrician cost in White Bear Lake?
It depends on the job. A simple outlet repair costs far less than a panel upgrade. Tell us what is going on and we will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and our license number is EA701047. When a job needs a permit, we pull it. Our work follows the Minnesota electrical code, so it is ready for inspection.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?
Common signs are breakers that trip often, lights that dim when an appliance turns on, an old fuse box, or a panel that feels warm or buzzes. You may also need more room if you plan to add an EV charger, hot tub or new AC unit. We can look at your panel and tell you if it can handle the load.
Can you install a Level 2 EV charger in my garage?
Yes. We install Level 2 chargers on their own dedicated circuit. First we check your panel to see if it has room for the new load. If it does not, we will walk you through your options.
What should I do if I smell burning or an outlet sparks?
Stop using that outlet or appliance. If you can reach the panel safely, turn off the breaker for that circuit. Then give us a call. If you see smoke or flames, leave the house and call 911 first.
