Another EV charger install in the books! Our team was out in Duluth today setting up this Grizzl-E Ultimate 48A Level 2 charger for a happy customer and their VW ID.4. This unit delivers serious charging speed — up to 11.5 kW — so they'll be waking up to a full battery every morning.

We mounted the charger on a clean vinyl backer board to match the home's siding, ran new conduit, and wired it to a dedicated 60A breaker in the panel. Permitted, inspected, and ready to roll.

Thinking about charging at home? It's more affordable than you'd think, and way more convenient than hunting for a public charger. Give us a call at 218-606-8595 or visit our website to learn more.

This was a bigger ‘modernize the property’ kind of project with lots of moving parts. It started with a new pole barn and resulted in a new 200 amp service on the property feeding the house, pole barn, and shed. The house got a new 200 amp feeder and panel upgrade to replace an old 100 amp FUSE box.

Thinking about adding an EV charger at home? The charger itself is the easy part — the “done right” part is making sure your home’s electrical system can safely support it.

A proper home charging setup starts with a quick review of your service size, panel capacity, and how you actually use electricity day-to-day. From there, we help you choose the right charging option (plug-in vs. hardwired), size the circuit correctly, and install it cleanly with the right protection and weather-rated equipment when it’s outside.

We install EV chargers for year-round North Shore life — cold weather, detached garages, long runs, and even remote cabins. The goal is simple: you plug in, it works, and you feel confident it will work when you need it.

If you’re considering a charger, send us a message with a photo of your electrical panel and where you’d like the charger to go. We’ll help you pick the right setup and get it installed properly.

We got an emergency call from a commercial kitchen: their dough mixer went down right before a busy day. The cord end had arced at the receptacle and the connection was burned, so they couldn’t make pizza dough until it was fixed.

We hustled over, replaced the damaged receptacle and cord end, then tested and verified the connections so the equipment was safe to put back into service. We had them back up and running in time to make dough for the lunch rush.

Heat damage like this is almost always a connection problem—worn contacts, loose terminations, or a plug/receptacle that’s reached end-of-life. If you ever notice a plug that feels warm, looks discolored, smells “electrical,” or fits loose, shut the equipment down and get it checked before it turns into downtime. If your business relies on high-use equipment, periodic inspection of cord ends and specialty receptacles is inexpensive insurance.

Our Master Electrician, John, writes a weekly Ask an Electrician column for the North Shore Journal. This week’s topic is knob-and-tube wiring — what it is, why you still see it in older homes and cabins, and what actually matters if you find it.

If you’ve spotted knob-and-tube before, where was it—attic, basement, or inside a wall? And if you’ve got a question you’d like covered in a future column, drop it in the comments or send us a message.

Three electricians didn’t call them back…

Yesterday morning we got another call about a broken service mast that needed to be replaced.

We adjusted our schedule to get it fixed before the weekend — it was literally hanging on with putty. Our team got the new service built, the old service removed, and the customer was only without power for about 30 minutes while we made the swap over.

If you need electrical service anywhere along the North Shore of Lake Superior — Duluth to Grand Marais — give us a call or text (yes you can text us)... 218-606-8595

Need Emergency Service? Ever had your power go out right before a holiday?

Last night around 5:00 pm we got a call from a family whose power was completely out after a tree ripped their service right off the house. We grabbed what we needed, headed over, and by about 10:30 pm they had a brand new service, lights back on, and heat in the house — just in time for Thanksgiving.

Storms and falling trees don’t wait for business hours, so we do our best not to either. If you ever lose power because your service gets pulled down, give us a shout and we’ll see what we can do to get you safely powered back up.
