Electrical reviews in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Tom is great. Timely and very responsive when work needs to get done. Very open and transparent communication line throughout. Knowledgable and creative, subject matter expert. I recommend working with University Electric, you will be happy with your choice.

Tom is amazing! He was quick and efficient. He was also able to do the work the same day I contacted him. Pricing was fair. Definitely will be calling him again for any electrical work.

Tom did a great job of figuring out the best way to wire our bathroom remodel. He took care of the design for the lights and outlets, along with the wiring itself, which was way out of my paygrade. Everything came out perfect and passed all the required inspections first time. We are very happy with the outcome and the pricing provided by University Electric.

We just got an entry way light fixture replaced by University Electric and are very please with the price and the results!

We were very impressed with the quick response to our request. Tom was very thorough & conscientious with the repairs & explained what he was doing as he went. We are most pleased with his work & will be happy to use his services in the future. Thank you.

University electric came out and did some cleanup on the circuit boxes at my newly purchased home, they do great work! I also had them out to do a fluorescent to led fixture rewiring job on my garage, you won't be disappointed by choosing them!

The owner, Tom was a great guy, worked with me through some difficult problematic issues. Did what was needed quickly and proficiently in the rain no less. Can't recommend him enough to payback my gratitude. Decently priced, no price gouging, and will be calling him back for repeat business. CALL THIS COMPANY FOLKS THEY ARE AWESOME!!

We called this company because several basement outlets suddenly lost power and we could not locate the GFCI outlet ourselves.

The technician (Tom) came out, located the GFCI, reset it, and that was the only work performed. No repairs, no parts replaced, and no additional troubleshooting. We were then charged $285 for this, which was shocking given the simplicity and length of the visit.

At no point before starting did the technician explain the pricing or get our approval for the cost. Only after questioning the charge did he lower it to $235, which is still extremely excessive for a task that took just a few minutes.

This felt misleading and predatory. If pricing had been disclosed upfront, we would not have agreed to the service. Be very cautious and insist on clear pricing before any work begins.

I decided to go with University Electric (even over the electrical service companies offering coupon savings that new homeowners get), since Tom responded to my Angi request quickly and listed the charge upfront to come and provide an estimate. He was willing to come even though it was later in day and quickly fixed both outlets that were not working. So glad to have all outlets working now in my new home purchase, and especially that total charge seemed reasonable!

I want to start by saying—Tom was great!

I submitted a claim for my A/C not working through my home warranty provider, Home Warranty of America (which, for the record, has been a frustrating experience—they do everything they can to avoid covering anything). The A/C vendor they initially sent out determined that the issue was electrical and said the company would need to send an electrician.

Days later, Tom arrived and quickly assessed the problem. Given the age of the electrical system in my home, he was able to pinpoint the issue—it turned out I needed a new thermostat. Tom and I both suspected the warranty company wouldn’t cover much, if any, of the cost, so he advised me to go ahead and purchase a new thermostat. He even waited while I ran to the store and asked me to text him a picture to make sure I was buying the correct one.

Tom was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He walked me through everything he was doing and helped me understand what went wrong and why. After nearly three weeks without A/C, my system was finally back up and running—thanks to Tom.

Huge thanks to you, Tom! I truly appreciate your help.

I highly recommend anyone who needs a knowledgeable, experienced electrician to call University Electric. My partner and I had only moved into our new (to us) home a couple of months when the power went out, but only in half of our home. Strange, but there was an outage in the area so we hoped it would resolve relatively quickly. Unfortunately, it did not.

We called a few companies but couldn’t secure an appointment quickly. But Tom at University Electric could tell we were in a bind and made a point to fit us into his schedule the next day. When he began his review of the situation, it quickly became clear that we had more than a simple issue on our hands.

He was able to get our power back on that day. And while we could have functioned with our setup as it was longer term, it was clear that there were some wiring issues that could cause future headaches. So we decided to have him come back to track down the underlying concern.

Without any long term knowledge about the home, we knew it was going to be a bit of a process to determine where the problem was originating. Tom made some educated choices on where to begin testing that allowed him to track down the problem quicker than expected. He explained everything to us along the way so we knew what actions were needed. And his prices were more than fair for the time and effort he spent to make sure our house was set up well for the future.

He was an absolute pleasure to work with and he will be the very first call we make if we need electrical work done in the future. If you are in need of a knowledgeable, honest and dedicated electrician, I encourage you to give him a call!

Tom was incredibly helpful from start to finish. His communication was excellent; he kept me fully informed about what needed to be done, explained everything clearly, and made sure all of my concerns were addressed along the way. He worked closely with me and the realtor on my dad’s property and ensured that all documentation was completed properly for inspection. His pricing was reasonable, and I truly appreciated his integrity, transparency, and dedication to doing the job right. I trusted him completely and was very happy with the entire experience. Highly recommend.

Tom was able to convert a very old outlet into a safe outlet for my internet connection. He also replaced a broken GFI outlet. Tom was super nice and pricing seemed fair to me. He has good communication skills and followed through with what he said he would do. I would highly recommend!

Definite 5-star service. The morning of New Year's Eve I put out a request on Angi and expected nothing until after New Year's. Tom called within 5 minutes and I explained our issue. He said someone could be out here the same morning, and he arrived at 11:00am. Tom was patient, polite, personable, and most of all knew his stuff. He identified source of our short, installed a new dimmer switch, re-wired our two hanging lamps, and even made sure they were level before he left. And the price was fair. It was a great New Year's surprise. In short, he's a pro.

Quick to respond. Very professional.

Called on business hour, left voicemail no respond

Fast service and friendly electricians

Garbage. Rude. Didn't know what they are doing. Drive irradically.

Good company to have work on your electricity in your house or your business

I have always found them reliable.

Good, quick, and they were under price. Big thumbs up. 👍
