Frequently Asked Questions
My lights flicker during storms or in winter. Is this a serious issue for my Detroit Lakes home?
Flickering lights, especially during our Minnesota winters and storms, are a common local concern that should not be ignored. Snow, ice, and wind can damage exterior service lines and connections, leading to dangerous power fluctuations. B & M Electric has over 35 years of experience diagnosing and repairing these weather-related electrical issues specific to our climate. We can inspect your service entry, meter base, and panel to identify the root cause—whether it's a loose connection, damaged wiring, or a failing component—and perform the necessary repair to restore safe, reliable power to your home.
Do you handle electrical service panel upgrades for older homes?
Yes, absolutely. Service panel upgrades are a core part of our residential electrical services. Many older homes in the Detroit Lakes area have outdated panels that can't safely support modern electrical demands from appliances, computers, and HVAC systems. Our licensed team can assess your current panel's capacity, recommend an appropriate upgrade, and perform a clean, code-compliant installation. We ensure the new panel provides ample, safe power for your household's needs and includes room for future additions, like a generator or EV charger.
We're building a new home. What does your residential new construction process involve?
As specialists in residential new construction, we partner with you and your builder from the ground up. Our process begins with a detailed plan review to ensure the electrical design meets your lifestyle needs and all local codes. Our team then handles everything from underground service trenching and temporary power to rough-in wiring, panel installation, and the final trim-out of switches, outlets, and fixtures. We pride ourselves on precise, clean workmanship and clear communication throughout the build, ensuring your new Detroit Lakes home has a safe, robust, and functional electrical system ready for you to move in.
