Minneapolis Electrician – Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Minneapolis?

In many cases, yes. Minneapolis typically requires permits for work like panel upgrades, new circuits, service changes, and other electrical modifications. As a licensed electrical contractor, Schlemmer Electric can help determine when a permit is required and handle the permit process for you.

Are older Minneapolis homes more likely to need panel upgrades?

Yes. Many Minneapolis homes were built decades ago and may have outdated electrical panels or limited capacity compared to modern electrical needs. If breakers trip frequently, lights flicker, or you're adding major appliances, it may be time to evaluate your panel.

Can you work on knob-and-tube wiring in Minneapolis homes?

We can inspect older wiring and recommend safe upgrade options. Some Minneapolis homes built before the 1950s may still have older wiring present in parts of the home. We’ll assess safety concerns and provide a plan to bring your electrical system up to current standards.

How quickly can you schedule service in Minneapolis?

We aim to schedule Minneapolis service calls as quickly as possible. Timing depends on the type of work and current availability, but we prioritize urgent safety issues and will confirm the soonest available appointment when you contact us.

Do you provide electrical services for Minneapolis businesses?

Yes. We help Minneapolis businesses with troubleshooting, lighting upgrades, panel work, dedicated circuits, and ongoing electrical maintenance. If you have a commercial space, we can recommend solutions that meet code and minimize downtime.

Why do my lights flicker in cold Minneapolis winters?

Flickering lights can be caused by loose connections, overloaded circuits, failing breakers, or issues with the electrical service. Cold weather can sometimes make existing weaknesses more noticeable. We can diagnose the cause and recommend safe fixes.

Are your electricians licensed and insured for work in Minneapolis?

Yes. Schlemmer Electric is licensed and insured to perform electrical work in Minneapolis and throughout the Twin Cities metro area.

Do you handle repairs needed after a home inspection in Minneapolis?

Yes. If a home inspection identifies electrical concerns—such as missing GFCIs, open junction boxes, or outdated wiring—we can correct the issues and provide documentation of the repairs completed.

What areas of Minneapolis do you serve?

We serve all of Minneapolis, including neighborhoods like Uptown, North Loop, Northeast, Linden Hills, Nokomis, and surrounding areas. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, just contact us and we’ll confirm.

Honest review from a local. The owner responded very promptly, walked me through what to expect. A 2 man crew was here 3 days later (I had no rush for service). I was worried about going over initial hour cost and just wanted a good job done on my ceiling fan installation. The fan is perfect, and they did 3 other jobs in the time and had no thought of charging more. Book these people, they’re trusted.

We’ve used Schlemmer Electric for a few projects now. They have been consistently great each time. They are prompt, knowledgeable and pleasant to have in your home. They put a service panel in and have helped with several bath remodels. Shawn and Ben have been excellent to work with. They are professional and have an attention to detail. They were there when we needed them, even on a last minute call. I highly recommend them. They are our go to electricians!

Dan Schlemmer gets it done! Diagnosis was transparent, interaction was genial, and most importantly the work is solid. I'm glad I invested in this company as opposed to a big name with loud marketing, because it seemed like safety was the first priority. Added bonus: projected timeframe was 5-6 hrs. actual completion was under 4 hrs.

They were very professional, effective, and honest. They also answered my call promptly, whereas I did not receive answers from other electricians that I called.

I requested an electrician visit through Schlemmer Electric's website, not expecting a quick reply (my problem was not urgent). I was very pleased to get a call from Shawn the next day, and he and Ben were able to stop by that same day and diagnose my problem (bad drivers for LED strip lighting). They needed to order a part and promised they'd be out as soon as it came in, which they did. Problem fixed! Nice guys, quality work, reasonable price--I'll never call anyone else for electrical help in my home. Strong recommendation!
