Tim Kunkel Electric - Saint Paul's Licensed Electricians

Flickering lights, particularly in attics, are a common issue in our area's older homes and can point to several problems. It's often due to outdated wiring, loose connections in the circuit, or an overloaded panel that can't handle modern electrical demands. As a third-generation electrician who started on these very homes, we first perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's repairing faulty attic wiring, tightening connections, or recommending a service upgrade. Our approach prioritizes safety and a lasting fix, ensuring your home's electrical system is reliable and up to current code.

Growing up working on Saint Paul's older homes with my father taught me that electrical systems are the backbone of a safe home. For service changes and panel upgrades, this means we don't just swap components. We assess the entire system's history and condition, ensuring the new installation not only meets today's codes but is also robust enough for future needs. We take pride in workmanship that stands the test of time, integrating upgrades seamlessly—whether for a family adding an EV charger or updating a multi-unit apartment building—with the meticulous attention to detail that comes from generations in the trade.

Installing an EV charger is more than just adding an outlet; it requires ensuring your home's electrical system can support the added load safely. We start with an evaluation of your current panel and wiring. Many older Saint Paul homes benefit from a service upgrade or a dedicated circuit as part of the installation. Our process includes handling all necessary permits, performing the installation to local and national electrical codes, and testing the system thoroughly. As a full-service contractor, we manage the project from inspection to completion, giving you a reliable, code-compliant charging solution tailored to your home's specific electrical capacity.
