Repairs & Troubleshooting | Minneapolis, MN
We Don't Just Fix the Symptom. We Find the Problem.
From a tripped breaker to a failed outlet, Harrison Electric diagnoses the problem and fixes it right the first time. Licensed, bonded, and insured since 1985.
Home Electrical Problems Don't Fix Themselves
Most electrical problems start small — an outlet that stopped working, a light that flickers occasionally, a breaker that trips more often than it used to. Left alone, small problems have a way of becoming bigger ones. The wiring in your home is not something to wait and see about.
Harrison Electric handles the full range of residential electrical repairs in the Twin Cities metro. When you call, your technician arrives ready to work — not just to take a look and schedule a follow-up. Our trucks are stocked with parts for most common repairs, which means most jobs are completed on the first visit.
You Know What It Costs Before We Start
One of the most common reasons homeowners put off calling an electrician is not knowing what it's going to cost. Harrison Electric uses StraightForward Pricing on every call. Your technician diagnoses the problem, explains what they found in plain language, and presents every repair option with the cost of each before any work begins. You decide what to do. Nothing gets started without your approval. No surprises on the invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Repairs
Questions Twin Cities homeowners ask before calling an electrician.
How do I know if I need an electrician or can handle it myself?
- In Minnesota, most electrical repair work inside your home's wiring, panel, or service requires a licensed electrician by law. General rule: if the problem involves anything behind the wall, inside a panel, or at the breaker level, call a licensed electrician. Replacing a light bulb or a plug-in device is fine on your own. Anything involving wiring, outlets, switches, or breakers is not.
How quickly can you get to me?
- For most repair calls in the Twin Cities metro, Harrison Electric can schedule same-day or next-day service. For urgent situations, call (763) 544-3300 and our answering service will assess the situation and get a technician to you as quickly as possible.
What happens if you find a bigger problem while you're there?
- Your technician performs a full system evaluation on every visit — not just the problem you called about. If they find something else that needs attention, they will explain what they found and what your options are before doing anything additional. You decide what gets repaired and when. There is no pressure to authorize work you are not ready for.
How does StraightForward Pricing work on a repair call?
- Your technician diagnoses the problem first, then presents every repair option with the full cost before any work begins. You approve the work before it starts. The price you are quoted is the price you pay. If the scope changes for any reason, you are told before the work proceeds.
Do you warranty your repair work?
- Yes. Harrison Electric backs every repair with a satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty on covered work. If something goes wrong with a repair we performed, we come back and make it right.
