"I ran into trouble when trying to rewire existing electrical in my son’s 1950's built, detached garage. I called Adam at Go Electric to come help me fix things. He responded quickly! Also, he was very knowledgeable in diagnosing and explaining the problems with the existing wiring which he had to trace and correct in the house. The cost was reasonable and the work was outstanding – highly recommended!!"

"Working with the team from Go Electric was definitely a 5 star experience! I was looking to upgrade the service panel on a 120 year old house from 100 amps to 200 amps in order to convert to appliances from gas to electric. I have a breathing condition that is worsened by the fumes of gas combustion. The quote was fully explained. The change in the panel would also require outside work to the mast and connection to power in order to meet safety codes. Not only was quote from GO almost 3K less than other quotes for the same work, but Brandon informed me that the work would qualify for a $1500 rebate from the energy provider AND GO would help me with getting the paperwork done for that. Installation was equally smooth and stress free with power being out no longer than was explained to me. Adam and his team are real pros and they deliver great work. Inspection was completed in a week with no faults found. I strongly recommend this business for electrical work. Chris A. St Paul"

"We were hoping to have outlets moved. They were easy to schedule with and even called to see if they could come early. They told us our options, but also explained why they didn’t think we’d be happy with the result because of how the wiring was in the wall. We decided not to move forward, but they still gave us the estimate, and they also waived the trip fee, so there was no cost to us. I would definitely hire them for future electrical work."

"Although Tom couldn't fix the problem with our fireplace, he went over and above board to try to help. It ended up to not be the wiring but the ignition that had been replaced less than 2 months ago."

"Starlight Electric did a fantastic job on the electric part of my current home improvement project, and even better they did it for an affordable price. They took the time to explain what they were doing and spent the extra effort to make sure even the little things were done right. We will be hiring Starlight Electric for all our electrical needs."

"Tom was GREAT ! A quick response call, fast to come to my home. Very fair and reasonable cost for service. I didn't want a flashy large company that leaves me with a magnet or calendar. I wanted good honest service, and I got that from Tom- University Electrical"

Customers say: True professional

"I recently sold my home and needed a new fuse box installed quickly to close the deal. After reaching out to several electricians, Jim at Tonka Electric not only provided the most reasonable quote, but he was also incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process. He made sure the job was completed efficiently and to a high standard. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received, and I highly recommend Tonka Electric for any electrical needs!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hopkins, MN

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
