Saint Paul Electrician – Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Saint Paul?

Yes. The City of Saint Paul generally requires permits for many types of electrical work, including panel upgrades, new circuits, service changes, and revisions to existing wiring. Permits help ensure the work is inspected and meets Minnesota safety codes. A licensed electrical contractor like Schlemmer Electric can help determine when a permit is needed and handle the permitting process.

Are older Saint Paul homes more likely to need electrical upgrades?

Yes. Many Saint Paul homes were built decades ago and may have older electrical panels, outdated wiring, ungrounded outlets, or limited capacity for modern electrical use. If you are adding appliances, remodeling, or experiencing frequent breaker trips or flickering lights, an electrical evaluation may be recommended.

Can you work on older wiring in Saint Paul homes?

Yes. Many Saint Paul properties, especially in historic neighborhoods, may have older wiring systems or electrical components that need updating. Our electricians can inspect the system, identify safety concerns, and recommend code-compliant repairs or upgrades that improve reliability and safety.

Yes. We provide electrical services for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and other commercial properties throughout Saint Paul. Our commercial electrical work includes lighting upgrades, troubleshooting, panel service, new circuits, and ongoing maintenance.

Why do breakers trip or lights flicker in Saint Paul homes?

Tripping breakers or flickering lights can be caused by overloaded circuits, aging breakers, loose connections, outdated wiring, or electrical service issues. In older Saint Paul homes, these problems may become more noticeable during periods of heavy electrical use or Minnesota’s colder weather. Our electricians can diagnose the cause and recommend safe, code-compliant repairs.

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!
