DePew Electric was founded on more than 20 years of experience serving southern Minnesota and a lifelong dream to build a trusted contracting business. We are officially launching our business in 2025 with a clear mission: to provide top-tier workmanship, honest pricing, and dependable service.\n\nOur family-owned business became a reality after my wife and I became empty nesters. With three grown sons and decades of experience under my belt, I finally took the leap to pursue a dream that had been quietly growing since I first became an electrician. Starting this business isn’t just a career move—it’s a personal milestone, built on family, community, and a deep love for the craft. \n\nWe’re proud to call South Central Minnesota home. Here, we combine expert electrical solutions with a friendly, down-to-earth approach. We believe great service begins with real relationships and a commitment to doing the job right—every single time.\n
I specialized in appliance repair. Washers, dryers, refrigerator, dishwasher and garbage disposals. I can do A/C cleaning, small electrical ( outlets and switches) and plumbing.
"Does a very professional clean job. Very knowledgable. Did a great job of cleaning up a messy electrical situation from the previous owner who apparently did a lot of his own wiring and had done dangerous and very non-code compliant work."
"Redemption Electric was very clear in their communication with us and our project took a few steps. They were honest about parts and pricing which we really appreciated. Overall Brittney and Jacob are amazing humans that have a passion for what they do. Definitely recommend!"
"This company is obviously nationwide and hires local contractors. I trusted Agies List that all contractors are licensed, bonded and have background checks. This person was a handyman and not qualified to wall mount, conceal wires, add electrical outlet. He spend five hours in my home, for a job that should have taken two hours and left the area in a disaster. The TV was hung close to the ceiling, the wires were hanging down from the TV, and the receiver was sitting on top of a plaster box because the cord was too short. He was obviously not qualified to install TV wall mounts. I have photos. As soon as he left, I called Best Buy Geek Squad. They were able to come out the next day and mount the TV professionally. I have used the geek squad in Virginia and they are highly qualified. They charge more than this nationwide company but you get what you pay for. I called Angies List the day after the disaster and said i did not want to rate this company but I wanted to talk to a manager. No one called me to apologize. I have cancelled my membership. Do not use this company unless you can be assured that the local contractor is qualified and is licensed. You should never let anyone into your home that has not had background checks. "

Amps describe the amount of energy that can flow through a circuit breaker. Every electrical device that’s attached to the breaker requires about 1.5 amps. While that equates to roughly 13 receptacles per 20 amps, using slightly fewer ensures that your circuit will always have enough energy for sudden power surges instead of tripping when one occurs. In general, 10 to 12 receptacles is recommended for a 20 amp circuit.
A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.
Knob and tube wiring is old, and its casing is brittle. This means that it's possible to receive a dangerous electrical shock if you touch a live wire and essentially become an electrical pathway. Although the scenario is unlikely, touching any K&T wiring is simply not a good idea in any instance. Leave any wire handling to the professionals.
The color of your cable will help you to identify its function. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) designates the color code for electrical cables. “Hot” cables are black, red, and blue. In cases of higher voltage lines, orange might also be used to indicate a hot cable. White or gray indicates a neutral, and green or green with a yellow stripe indicates a ground.
The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum.
If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.
