Plugz Electric are the experts in surge protection in St. Paul, MN. Homes have had electricity for decades, but the technology that powers the electrical grid hasn’t changed much in that time. However, the electrical demands of the average household have skyrocketed. Today, much of our modern lives rely on electricity.
That means something like a power surge can wreak havoc in your home. It can damage your electronics and appliances and pose a danger to everyone in your home. We can help you protect yourself and your home by carrying out a surge protection installation that will stand guard against errant incoming voltages.
Couldn't be any happier with the service received from Jason, Parker and Mike. Will be my go to electricians from now on.

Although the average home outlet operates at 120 volts, the actual voltage passing through it can vary considerably, even under normal circumstances. However, when the voltage passing through a typical household circuit exceeds 169 volts, it’s called a power surge. Unfortunately, many of your home’s electrical devices don’t have any built-in protection against power surges.
Power surges can damage or destroy them. Things like computers and other small electronics are most vulnerable to damage from power surges. So are devices that operate on direct current and use plug-in transformers to convert the alternating current from your home’s outlets.
A power surge can happen due to something as simple as a large motor turning on, like when your central AC powers up. Or, they can happen if a utility pole gets struck by lightning. A surge protection installation adds protective circuitry that detects and arrests power surges before they can damage anything in your home.
Investing in whole-home surge protection comes with a variety of benefits:
Protects devices from damage
Reduces risk of electrical fires
Better protection than power strips
Protects large appliances
A whole-house surge protector is a device that gets installed in your home’s main electrical panel. That puts it in the perfect position to stop surges from outside your home, as well as any that arise from internal electrical malfunctions. They can provide you with peace of mind in knowing your home has a full-time shield against momentary fluctuations in electrical voltage.

I called to get a new service setup to my building. They were very responsive and out the next day to give me an estimate. The following day everything was completed. Great service and communication. Highly recommend.
Excellent work from electrician Cameron Foesch. He was extremely professional and communicated well throughout the entire process. He got me on his schedule and completed the work quickly before putting my house on the market.
I was connected with Plugz Electric through Lowe’s for installation of a porch light we ordered. The journeyman/technician, Cameron Foesch, did an absolutely excellent job. First and foremost, we had been given a timeframe of 8 AM and 11 AM. While most businesses generally leave the impression that you should expect service on the later end of the frame, Cam was here right at 8. He was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable to answer any and all questions, and well skilled to get the job done in a remarkably short amount of time. I am definitely going to work with him again when we get our garage lights replaced sometime in the near future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks to Cameron! What an Amazing job he did with the Electric Plugs in my house down to every detail. I would really recommend him. Thanks for the help Cameron.
Morgan was here late last Friday afternoon after a long week. Despite his long and busy day he was pleasant, friendly and polite. He got right to work and worked continually until the job was successfully completed. Also the office was very good at keeping me informed prior to Morgan’s arrival. Will contact them again should the need arise.
Soren was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual and took the time to explain the different options I had. He was able to add 2 exterior and 1 interior outlets the same day and was respectful of my home and cleaned up after himself. Would definitely recommend Soren and Plugz Electric to anyone needing electrical work.
Soren was excellent. He was on time, installed our ceiling fans, explained what he was going to do before he started. Cleaned up and took all old parts with him. We couldn’t be more pleased with his professionalism and courtesy.
Had Cameron from Plugz Electric here today to add an electrical outlet from my kitchen counter top to above the cabinet. What a wonderful job and even more wonderful young man, (Cameron), who completed the service. Excellent beyond words.I would be proud to have him for my son.Thanks Plugz Electric. I will have you back again.
Soren was absolutely wonderful. It is always a bit worrisome when you have an electrical issue and have to call someone to assist - but Soren was great. He kept us up to date with his arrival time, showed up early, did incredible work and even spent time explaining our house's funky electrical system to us. Would definitely call Plugz and request Soren again.
The challenge with electric work is that it is hard to know what problems exist until the outlets are opened up, especially in an 125 year old house like mine. When the inevitable changes happened, Plugz was very clear in explaining the problem and potential solutions. Once we agreed changes, changes to the work order were immediate, with a pdf estimate to my email in less than a minute. Whatever service management software they are using is the bomb and have trained their employees to use it well.My wiring was downright scary. The peace of mind is priceless. Very happy with Plugz.
We have had wonderful experience with Plugz! Eric was GREAT! Explaining everything to us, scheduling appointments in a timely manner, and his professionalism, knowledge and positive attitude was a pleasant experience. Jeremy was helpful and went our of his way to get our projects done! Great Guy. Donny was also helpful and came up with some good ideas for us. The whole team was wonderful to work with and would recommend Plugz to anyone needing electrical work!
Morgan and Damon were great to work with and couldn't be happier with how the new recess lighting looks. Morgan was really helpful and patient in sharing some knowledge with me. Compared to other company estimates, they beat the competition by a mile and I can't argue with the results.
David Madison, Cameron Foesch, and their apprentice, all did a great job to repair my electrical box after storm damage. They were professional but also kind and considerate!
I had an excellent experience and I WOULD HIRE Plugz Electric again, if I need an electrician in the future.Nicole was very helpful getting me on the schedule. The appointment was within 2 days of the call. I tried 3 other electrical companies, before reaching Plugz. One of the companies was about 2.5 weeks out, another a month out, and the final company I tried was nearly 3 months out (just a one man operation).Back to Plugz, on the day of the appointment I received a text message letting me know that Rob (Journeyman Electrician) was on his way. He arrived within 30 minutes of that text, and within the window of time that Nicole estimated when making the appointment.Rob was friendly, direct, and thorough. He evaluated the job and provided a quote within 5 minutes of arrival. Rob provided suggestions and feedback on the job itself to address what I needed without breaking the bank. The quote was for installation of 2 ceiling fans that had existing light fixtures in their respective bedroom. The quote was cheaper than 2 of the other companies I spoke to on the phone. Rob informed me of their ‘50% down and 50% upon completion of the job’ policy. I chose to pay 100% when I received the quote due to my schedule when the work was to be completed.Rob was able to come back the next day (to allow me to buy the fans for the install) and complete the job then. See photos for completed job.Thank you for making this process simple, Plugz!
Cameron was BEYOND exceptional! Wise beyond years, professional, incredibly thoughtful and kind. Looking for the best in customer service & smart? Ask for this Electrician by name! Thank you Plugz!! ~Michelle C. | Champlin MN
Excellent work and friendly electricians. We had an initial scheduling issue with the office staff, but once resolved, we are very happy with our results.
Soren was my electrician, and he did a superb job. He was kind, professional, explained everything very well so a layman could understand, and he was always upfront. We had gotten another estimate from another company before contacting PlugZ and they were very expensive and offered me more than I asked for. My need was a level 2 EV charger in my garage. He was upfront about that cost and without upselling me, he gave me an honest bid on that as well as a new electrical panel as mine was original to the house and aging. The only real issue we encountered was with Xcel. They have to unhook and re-hook up power from the outside. They showed per our appointment to unhook but were very lackadaisical about coming back at the end of the day. Soren kept on them and even noticed a truck in our area - he pleaded with the linesman to come down the block when he finished his work. Soren saved the day getting us back online and saved me from the doghouse that night with my wife. If you use PlugZ, please request Soren, he's a top-notch guy, and electrician. He'll go out of his way to make the customer happy.
Soren did a fantastic job installing our doorbell. He was punctual and made the entire process clear and straightforward, explaining each step from start to finish. Even when a small hiccup arose, he handled it efficiently without any issues. The installation was quick, and he took the time to make sure the cosmetic adjustments were perfect. Overall, a seamless and professional experience. Highly recommend!
Complicated issues with a 137 year old house and plugs has killed it! This stuff has been multiple trips back and issues solved with no extra fees! Could not be more happy, actually the most happy with all our contractors! Mike our main contact in our residence is the man!
Plugs Electric did a fantastic job! They found a critter was gnawing at our wire in the electric panel and came right away to replace the panel. Eric, Jeremy, Damon, and Josh were very professional and very knowledgeable. I originally called to add recessed lights but they first checked the electrical panel which I so appreciated.
Cameron and Damon provided quick, professional work for our kitchen remodel. They were attentive to our needs and accommodated everything we needed. 10/10 service and professionalism!
Excellent customer service, on-time, thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. I felt the pricing was a bit high for installing a chandelier and 2 other light fixtures. Overall, great company.
Mike and Terry were out today adding another breaker exclusively for the microwave as well as checking all other items on the same circuits. They worked steadily and efficiently on what was a challenging project getting the microwave on a separate wire. They also were very patient in answering many questions and it was easy to get an appointment. I highly recommend Plugz.
We’re pleased with the service. The electrician was courteous and professional and did a great job diagnosing the problem, explaining things and fixing it. However, I thought the price was exorbitant. I knew this was going to be expensive and this may be the going rate, but $780 to diagnose and replace 2 outlets that probably took less than 20 minutes is obscene.
I called Eric about an emergency situation I had with a water heater. He came through gave me a quote and sent out Jeremy and Josh the next day. They did a great job and were super personable. I really appreciate all their help. Thank you Jeremy, Josh, and Eric!
Mike and Terry at Plugz were referred to me by someone at Xcel. They came out the same day and repaired the storm damage, replacing the mast, power box, and wires ripped out by a fallen tree. Within 4 hours of calling them, I had power for the first time this week. Thanks—highly recommend!
Highly recommend Plugz Electric! Mike K. Came through today and took care of all of the issues, walked me through the process and answered all of my questions. Thanks again for all of the hard work!
Mike and his team exceeded my expectations. They were always prompt and finished the job doing everything they said they would. I will call them again when I have electrical needs in the future.
They did quality work on our house adding many new outlets, dedicated circuits for two bathroom wall heaters plus a point-of-use water heater, whole house surge protection, and replacing our old integrated smoke detectors. Big project -- two electricians for more than two days. My only disappointment is they have not yet replaced nine of the temporary outlets they installed with outlets that match the style of my other existing receptacles and cover plates, as we discussed. Initially, they experienced a delay receiving the parts but now it has been almost two months since the installation. Still nothing.
