Expert Electrical Troubleshooting

If you have power out in one specific area or your entire home, RELAX. Most of the time the problem seems worse than it is, however, there's still a possibility that it could still be serious, so you should call a licensed electrical contractor right away.

At Electric Today, our expert electricians deal with all types of electrical problems in homes just like yours everyday. What seems likea “Big” problem to the typical homeowner, can be an easy solution for a trained journeyman electrician.

Unlike most company's, our technicians receive ongoing technical and customer service training and specialize in assessing, explaining and repairing household electrical problems in a safe, efficient manner. Once the problem has been assessed, our tech will explain exactly what needs to be done, and present all possible options available to you. This will allow you to make a knowledgeable decision on the work that is required to get you back up and running!

Fuse/Breaker Panel Replacement

Are you still struggling with an outdated fuse or breaker panel? Do you have circuits that are overloaded? Have circuits been “doubled-up” because you don't have the capacity for additional circuits? Has new wiring been added over the years, and does it meet code? Has your Insurance Company refused to renew your homeowners insurance due to obsolete wiring? Are you trying to sell or close on your home?

If any of the above statements apply to you, your home may be in need of a service panel upgrade.

IMPORTANT: Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Zinsco breaker panels were very common in the 70's & 80's. Since they were the "panel of choice" for so many contractors, it's now well documented that homes equipped with these two brands are at a greater risk of fire and other electrical hazards.

If you have a FPE breaker panel in your home, see http://www.inspect-ny.com/fpe/fpepanel.htm for more information.

If your present circuit breaker panel has any breakers that are manufactured by a different panel manufacturer, BEWARE! This is fairly common practice because many breaker designs are mechanically interchangeable (they will fit). But this practice does not meet UL listing standards. If there were a fire and it was decided that the panel played a part in it, this action may void your Homeowners Insurance Policy. (Feel free to call and ask your insurance company about this.)

Whole-House Surge Protection

It is far less expensive to invest a small amount in whole-house surge protection, than to replace costly appliances!

Why Is Protecting My Home From Surges So Important?

The vast majority of homes have expensive electronic equipment such as: Entertainment Equipment, Hot Tubs, Computers, Televisions, Ranges, Dryers, A/C Units, Refrigerators and more. The combined value of these items can easily add up to several thousands of dollars, and every one of them are vulnerable to power surges. You see, all of the items we've listed have sensitive electronic circuit boards that are highly susceptible to damage from voltage variations.

The good news is that you can easily protect ALL of the valuable items in your home with a Whole-House Surge Protection Unit that is connected directly to your main circuit breaker panel. In addition, you can protect from surges entering your home through the cable and phone lines with add-on modules.

Recessed Lighting Installation

Recessed lights are usually used by architects and interior designers in rooms where the homeowners want a relaxed and soothing lighting effect. This style of lighting is preferred over using multiple standing and side table lamps based on the mood they can induce in the occupant of the room.

You’ll easily discover why interior designers prefer to use this type of upscale lighting when you enter a room that has recessed lights professionally installed – to see is to believe, as they say.

Expert designers may recommend that you have recessed lights installed in various rooms in your home to create just the right ambiance according to the primary use of the space. Recessed lights are installed in specific patterns in the form of canister lights. At completion of the installation, there are several finish trims to choose from according to the look you desire.

Electrical Home Safety Audit

At Electric Today, it is our job to make sure your home is electrically safe. Faulty wiring and lack of maintenance causes more fire damage to homes than any other source. That is why we complete a complimentary visual Home Safety Audit in EVERY home we go to. It is our responsibility as professional electricians to address current problems, detect future problems, and do everything possible to keep your family safe and prevent damage to your home.

Just like any other system in your home, your homes electrical system wears out over time. We train our electricians to evaluate your home and educate you about the safety of your electrical system. Sometimes repairs are needed right away, sometimes they can be put on the back burner, and other times it may just be an option to consider. Before they leave your home, based on a visual audit, our friendly electrician(s) will provide a written report (for your eyes only) so you'll know the general condition of your home’s electrical system as well as our recommendations for work that is needed (if any) to keep you and your family safe. Sometimes a home may need a lot of electrical work, other times it may be in excellent condition.

Unlike other companies that may try to push unneeded costly repairs on you, our electricians look for the most economic solution, that still provides the highest level of safety, which gives you peace of mind! All this may sound like a lot of work and it is! But we feel we'd be doing you a disservice if we were to leave your home knowing that their are obvious safety issues that need addressing.

4. Firm Price Quotes

You approve the price before we do the work. At Electric Today, we quote you the full price of the job, before we do the work. No more watching the meter run – No Hourly Charges – No Overtime Charges – No Lowball Phone Estimates – No Hidden Charges!

6. Security Protection

With the rampant crime rate these days, you can never be too cautious. Our service technicians wear company uniforms with ID badges so you know who they are. Before they are hired they undergo background checks and drug testing. We frequently do random drug testing within our company. All this with your safety and security in mind.

7. Respect for Your Property

Our service technicians leave your home clean. They arrive, supplied with shoe covers, service carpets, vacuum cleaners and cleaning supplies. They use these to protect and respect your property.

8. Qualified Service Technicians

Being an electrician is a lot harder than it used to be. Ever-changing codes and increasing technology require today’s technicians to receive continual training. At Electric Today, we constantly invest in advanced education and training. A company that does not invest in education for its employees is not a company you want to do business with.

9. Complaints Handled Courteously and Promptly

No matter how good a company might be, human error may rear its head from time to time. At Electric Today, we want you to be a customer for life. We promptly and courteously resolve all problems even if it costs us money.

Don't Fall for the Time & Material (Hourly Rate) Myth

You should NEVER have to pay the price for slow or inefficient service. But that’s exactly what tends to happen when you pay service technicians by the hour instead of by the job. Task-Rate Pricing means, you'll never pay for slow or lazy technicians or for run-around time for parts and other materials.

As a company that employs Task-Rate Pricing, it’s in our best interests to work as efficiently as possible. Our trucks are stocked with every tool & part imaginable, and our technicians are trained to do the job efficiently and properly the first time around.

When our technician arrives at your home, he will do a thorough evaluation of your electrical system to determine exactly what your problem may be. He will then explain your repair options to you and then tell you the exact repair/installation cost before any work is done.

We want you, our customer, to be comfortable knowing the price quoted is the price we charge. There are never any surprises.

This is a trademarked pricing system that gives you the benefit of having a proficient technician who will do the job right the first time. This pricing system is in contrast to time and material pricing systems where you suffer and the company is rewarded for having inexperienced or slow technicians. By removing the clock emphasis, our technicians don’t feel pressured to hurry, which might cause a mistake, but can take the time necessary to make sure the job is done right the first time.

Task-Rate Pricing Means...

No Surprises on your bill - You’ll know the exact price before any work is started
No Salesman - All prices are given on the spot by a technician
No Pricing Games - All prices are clearly listed in a preprinted service guide
No Waiting - We don’t make you schedule additional appointments to complete the work because 90% of repairs or installations are completed on the 1st trip, saving you time and frustration

Our Electrical Service Badges of Honor

Think All Minneapolis Electricians Are Created Equal?

Well... take it from me - there’s nothing further from the truth. There’s a vast difference in skill, training and experience from one licensed electrician to another. We may carry the same license, but that’s where the similarity stops!

Just like any other industry, there are superstars, there are average joe’s and there are HACKS. Unfortunately, the electrical industry has more than its fair share of hacks.

What’s worse is all the unlicensed handyman types running around pretending to be electricians while knowing just enough to put unwitting homeowner’s lives in danger - THAT’S SCARRY!

I could give you example after example, but I don’t want to lull you to sleep, because at this moment, you’re trying to choose an electrician and that’s much more important!

To make a long story short, I’ll tell you why my company’s 25+ year focus of delivering outstanding electrical service exclusively to Twin Cities homeowners makes us different.

What does 25+ years of homeowner exclusive service mean to you? It means that we have successfully seen, fixed, replaced or extended every possible residential wiring system/configuration in the Twin Cities. It means that we’re in houses similar to your house, day in and day out and we know what we’re doing.

In addition, it means that we’ve successfully worked with, educated and fulfilled the needs of hundreds of Twins Cites homeowners and we know exactly what they expect of a premier home service company.

Simply put, it means we’ve seen it all, we know what we’re doing, and we know what our customers want and need. It means that WE DELIVER - on-time, every time!
