FAQs
As a St. Paul homeowner, what should I do if I notice an overheated outlet or corrosion on my electrical meter?
Those are clear signs of potential electrical hazards that need prompt, professional attention. For overheated outlets, stop using them immediately. Corrosion on your meter, often from Minnesota's weather, can indicate moisture intrusion and connection problems. At Bakken Electric, our licensed electricians can safely inspect the issue, identify the root cause—whether it's faulty wiring, an overloaded circuit, or environmental damage—and provide a lasting repair. We prioritize these safety calls to protect your home and family.
What should I know before installing a home EV charger in the Twin Cities?
Installing an EV charger involves more than just mounting a unit on the wall. Our team, with specific expertise in EV technology, will assess your home's electrical panel capacity to ensure it can handle the new load. We also help you navigate local utility programs, like Xcel Energy's off-peak discount options, to maximize your savings. With over 3,000 installations completed, we handle all permits and ensure the installation meets all electrical codes, providing a safe, efficient setup tailored to your vehicle and driving habits.
Does Bakken Electric handle both small residential projects and large commercial electrical work?
Absolutely. Our team has the versatile experience to manage projects of any scale. For homeowners, we handle everything from outlet replacements and lighting upgrades to full panel installations. For businesses and institutions, we manage large-scale commercial installations, new construction, and sustainable energy projects like solar integrations. With over 50 years of combined experience, we have the resources and partner network to travel statewide for major projects while remaining your local, reliable electrician for everyday needs in St. Paul.
