Pete came out to change out 2 chandeliers a couple months ago. He was so professional and courteous. He did a great job. I'm so happy with his work! read more

We hired Twin Cities Electric to install replacement exhaust fans in two bathrooms. They were able to accommodate our needs quickly. Staff who showed up were prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Pricing was reasonable too. read more

This morning as I was getting ready for work, a portion of my apartment lost power. I called around to several electricians in the area, and when I spoke to Ted he gave me the free advice that I should try Xcel Energy first as I may have a phase out (evidenced by the partial loss of power). It was too early in the morning to inquire with other tenants as to whether my top floor apartment of the triplex was the only unit experiencing this outage, so I followed his free advice. Xcel responded quickly on site and ruled out any wrongdoing on their end, so I called Twin Cities Electric back and they came out within an hour. They diagnosed the problem (a faulty main breaker on the exterior of the house), and vowed to come back to fix it. When I returned home from work, full power was restored to my unit and that was that! I am extremely impressed with the quick service, the detailed and unpretentious explanation of the problem, and the fast solution. Highly recommended! read more

We were referred to TC Electric by my daughter and son in law as he had done some work for them and they were very satisfied with his work. We called Pete and informed him that we were looking to upgrade some lighting in our condo. We set up an appointment. Pete arrived on time and listened to our plans. He said he would make up an estimate and have it back to us in a day or so. We received the estimate and were comfortable with it so we called to accept it. He said he could start the next week which was fine as it gave us time to select the type of light fixtures we wanted. Pete arrived right at 08:00a.m. on the day we had agreed on. He began immediately to complete the projects were wanted done. He completed all the required work on our estimate in about 3 hours. He completed all cleanup and was ready to leave. He gave me his bill and informed me that because I was a military veteran, he had given me a discount on my bill. This was quite surprising and I thanked him. we would wholeheartedly recommend Twin City Electric and Pete to all our family and friends. He did excellent work in good time and did an excellent cleanup after he finished his electrical work. read more

AVOID THIS SCAMMER! License is suspended by the State of MN. See https://secure.doli.state.mn.us/lookup/licensing.aspx This guy took a deposit from me for a job requiring a permit, even though his license is suspended. They showed up one day to start on the work, then left things incomplete and ghosted for 3 weeks. Ted Lee is a dishonest scammer. read more

We had an electrical problem that we wanted to fix ASAP that we discovered around 5 pm. We called around and most places couldn't get us in for a few days or charged a huge "emergency fee". We called Twin Cities Electric and a friendly voice answered, listened to our probably, and said they'd have someone to our place within an hour. Mike arrived and he was friendly and knowledgeable and patient. He included us in the process and let my curious husband follow him around and explained everything he was doing. He worked very hard and was very thorough and fixed our mystery old house problem! We are very grateful for Mike and Twin Cities Electric for their promptness and excellent work! read more

I wish there was a no star choice. We contracted with Twin Cities Electric, Inc (Contractor No. EA004880)(License No. AM006813) in the spring of 2017 and the work (which should have taken one afternoon, said the City of St. Paul electrical inspector Dave Blank) was completed in the fall of 2017. In December 2017, the work failed inspection from the City. Today, the contractor blew off my husband after scheduling to come to our house to complete the items which failed. The company made us pay them more than half at the time of contract and then in full before the work was ever finished or even before our inspection was scheduled. The entire time (almost a year now) this company has been unresponsive, neglectful, and unable to commit to coming to our house to do and complete work. This was the worst decision we ever made with a "reputable" company. They are full of lies and empty agreements. Please do not ever hire these people. We would like for these people to complete the items listed on the failed electric permit inspection from the City of St. Paul before the 30 day window expires. And to apologize for such terrible service. What a joke. read more

I've used Ted on countless jobs; at my house, by wife's business (The Aviary), my rental properties and he has always shown up and done a terrific job. read more

Ted is the BEST! He's my go-to electrician. Ted is punctual, friendly, easy going, yet professional...and very fair with his prices. Case in point--when doing a bathroom update, Ted was unavailable so I got a bid from someone else. It seemed way too high, so I opted to delay my project and wait for Ted. Doing so saved me money. The other bid was 2.5 times the price of TCE! So glad I went with Twin Cities Electric! You will be too! read more

Ted is great. I had an outlet that stopped working. I called at 8:30am, Ted was here by 9:00, and it took him exactly one minute to fix the problem--hitting the reset button on another outlet. And he didn't charge me anything for coming out on a moment's notice! So, this review may not speak to his technical skills, but does speak to his great customer service skills, responsiveness, and decency. Thanks Ted! read more

Ted came out right away to give us an estimate and after the bid we scheduled work with him. His bid was fair and he seemed eager for the work. His walk through of our home was quick, but I didn't know any better. He didn't look at our electrical box or at the attic space that he would have to access to do the work. On the day of the scheduled work, he didn't show up. We had some other events to attend to that day, so we were very specific about a timeline. He said he would arrive at 8 am. By 10 pm, I emailed and called him. He was on another job that he hadn't finished up the day before due to a sick child and a sick grandchild. I understand that he might not be able to make the scheduled date and time. WHat was frustrating was that he never called to let us know. He could have even called the day before. This is just the bad business practices that make me not want to support a business. Needless to say, we found another electrician who came over, did a thorough walk-through, gave us a fair estimate and has communicated with us every step of the way. read more

Ugh I had high hopes after reading these great reviews but my experience was far different. Ted came out for the estimate right away and gave us instructions for digging the required trench in our backyard which was much appreciated. We dug the trench 40 days ago and still have no hookups for our sauna. He was a no-show for our first appt and after other appts had to be cancelled due to rain and vehicle problems (out of his control), we experienced another no-show. I can no longer keep making work arrangements to accommodate appts that are not honored so am taking suggestions for another electrician. If you do go with him, my advice is to stay on him to get the job done and hope that he shows up when he says so. read more

Ted and his crew are some of the most friendly and professional electricians in town. They are timely, affordable (surprisingly for electricians) and always available when I need something done quickly and with quality. I will ONLY use these guys. They are local and family-owned. I highly recommend them and will tell everyone I know about them too. read more

Amazing! We were selling our house and trying to deal with the City of Richfield on an inspection issue related to wiring, and we had very little time to recitfy the issue. I called Ted and he agreed to come out in a very short period of time and he identified the problem immediately. He was able to contact the head of electrical inspections in Richfield to determine alternatives for how we could meet the requirement. In the meantime, the inspector came out and worked with us on the problem, so we didn't end up needing to have Ted do any work. I offered to pay him for his time, but he declined. Wow, super service and didn't even charge me for his time! I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again or to recommend it to all my family and friends. Amy R. read more

Small problem, but Fast response, tim had a small time slice and figured he could get it resolved based on my description. Price that was more than fair! Will call back any electrical needs, small or large. read more

Ted Lee and his crew were outstanding. I called them in to remove all knob and tube wiring in an 1908 Minneapolis home, install a new service panel, and ground and GFI a bunch of outlets. Overall, they were very professional, gave me a detailed estimate, and performed the job well. These guys are pros, and when you have a serious job like mine, call the pros, right! They do a lot of work in South Minneapolis and know how to deal with older home wiring issues. read more

Ted came out next day to bid the work and he did check the current electrical situation and what was needed to added outlets for dishwasher and garbage disposal especially since house is over 100 years old. We are really happy with the install of outlets, switches, and recessed lights installed in the kitchen by Shannon and he made some necessary minor adjustments without a problem after the work was done...very responsive to any concerns. Ted is quick to respond to texts and answer any questions even with minor details being addressed. read more

Made an appointment over the phone for an estimate. The day of the appointment they didn't bother to show up or call after the arrangements were made. - I even left work early to meet them. Don't waste your time here. read more

Ted, the owner of Twin Cities Electric, came to replace my electrical panel at my house with another employee. Half way through he decided to leave and asked for payment even though the job wasn't complete, assuring me that the employee would finish up. After asking him about setting up an inspection by the state, he again assured me that he would take care of it and let me know when the inspector would be stopping by. He said it shouldn't be more than a day or two. It has now been two weeks and every time I call his cell to question when the job will be finished he let's it ring to voicemail. I have left 4 messages and have yet to be contacted back. Overall, very poor business practices. They even left all of their trash in my basement after the job was complete. I would suggest finding another company to do your electrical needs because Ted and his team are very unprofessional and sloppy. read more

I would not even bother contacting this company. They gave me a quote and a day, that I agreed to and then stopped returning my emails. Spend your time trying to find a company that acts professional and won't waste your time. read more
