What does a licensed electrician do?

A licensed electrician's job is to design, install, maintain, repair, and troubleshoot electrical systems safely and to code. The license is the public's signal that the person has been formally trained, tested by the state of Minnesota, and held accountable through continuing education and insurance.

Day-to-day work includes: installing and upgrading electrical panels, running new circuits and outlets, wiring lights and ceiling fans, installing EV chargers and generators, troubleshooting tripping breakers and dead outlets, hooking up hot tubs and pools, wiring additions and remodels, and inspecting older wiring for hazards.

Behind every job is documentation: the permit application that describes scope, the rough-in inspection (before walls close), the final inspection, and the as-built drawings or panel schedule that show what was actually installed. Done right, this paperwork follows the property for decades.

Lotus Electric handles all of the above for homeowners and businesses across the Duluth area. Matt Sunberg personally reviews every estimate and our team passes inspection on the first attempt about 98% of the time — the industry average is closer to 80%.
