You deserve a safe and reliable home. Get the job done right the first time with outstanding customer service from the Twin Cities top rated electrician. Outlets, fans, lighting, smoke detectors, switches, and service panels. Your full service electrician.

"I hired Randy’s to fix a recurring electrical issue that was cutting power to the upper floor of my home, and to install two new circuits, work completed over two visits about a week apart. The new circuits seem to work fine, but the original issue persists—despite spending over $5,000, including $1,000+ on diagnostics. The electrician spent about 45 minutes on the initial assessment, then replaced some wiring and breakers. The problem reoccurred before the second visit, which I reported by phone, but he was unaware of it when he arrived. He did minimal follow-up, blamed CFL bulbs, and later suggested the issue might be with outlet or switch connections—something I believe should have been checked from the start. The issue has since returned again, and after three follow-up calls in three days, I’ve received no response. On the positive side, the crew was professional, worked in a difficult attic space, and cleaned up well. Still, I expected better troubleshooting, communication, and post-service support for what I paid."

Twin Cities #1 Plumbers!! Family owned & operated since 1973. Our father and son plumbing company has everything you need. We produce quality work and always do the job right the first time. We are also honest with all of our customers and offer reasonable prices to meet your needs. Whether you are a homeowner or a small business owner, our licensed, bonded, and insured plumbing company is here to serve you. Additional phone number - (866) 557-8639. Additional DBA - Gary E. Lindman Plumbing Co.

"He brought an assistant who was the driver and the main issue was how many steps he would have to take to get to my property and they would not remove shoes. I say this to illustrate the age issue of Gary accepting this work...he is very old..I am 90 yrs and consider myself to be pretty old, but Gary is Really old and he indicated that he fixed the problem..mostly by using Plumber's Putty around the base. No mention of the ring being a problem..which was only three years old, the age of the toilet. The toilet started wobbling again two days later and the awful looking brown plumber's putty was seeping out looking just terrible!!! I have a nice bathroom with a walk in shower, new toilet and to have this brown creepy stuff coming out of the toilet base is too terrible AND I paid him $280.00 for this!! I cannot dispute this charge as he requested a check to avoid having to pay the 3% charge by the credit card company so I wrote a check ..not knowing this putty was going to be on the floor next to the toilet ..almost before he could cash the check!! I feel that I was robbed and I think calling Angie was the biggest mistake!! Angie should be aware of the credentials and qualifications of the persons coming into our homes to prevent this charade and robbery of my $280.00. I don't get any satisfaction in knowing that all Angie can do for me is table him with a bad review. Mr. Lindman offered to come back so I asked him what more he would do if coming back and he replied something that was going to take a lot of work. I did not understand what that was. He accused me of yelling at he so I gave him wan example of a real yell to let him know I wasn't yelling and that started him off. He cursed at me and the call ended."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

You don’t have to replace expansion tanks at the same time as your hot water heater. You may be able to go six to 12 years or more before needing to replace your expansion tank. At $150 to $450, hot water heater expansion tanks are usually much more affordable than the cost of hot water tanks themselves, which average about $1,190.

You can convert a gas heater to electric, but it isn’t as simple as swapping a plug or two. First of all, you need to make sure there’s adequate power to the unit, as electric units require much higher power amounts versus gas. Then, you need to close off the gas lines and ventilation. Make sure you don’t also need a permit for an electric water heater—some cities require it. Making the switch can cost upwards of $1,500.

When replacing an old unit, you might want to switch from a gas water heater to an electric water heater or vice versa. To do this, you will likely need to add infrastructure to the area. For example, you likely don’t have a gas line that served your old electric water heater. You’d have to call a plumber to put in a new gas line. If you’re replacing a gas unit with an electric one, the plumber will need to safely cap the old gas line. You will then need an electrician to add wiring for the new electric unit.

Any item that can hold on to moisture and encourage mold growth should be discarded and replaced following water damage. Upholstered items, such as armchairs and couches, and soft items, such as mattresses, usually must be thrown away once they've taken on a lot of water. Soft furniture is difficult to dry out, creating an inviting environment for mold.

You may also need to replace hardwood furniture following water damage if you're unable to fully dry it out. If you have appliances and electronics that have been fully submerged in water, particularly sewage, you'll need to replace those, too.

Water heater installation code requirements are in place to keep your family and home safe. Water heaters that are installed wrong can simply not work. However, that's an, if you're lucky, type of situation. More commonly, incorrectly installed water heaters pose a real threat from carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, water leaks, and even explosions.
