From EV Chargers to Smart Home Systems—Installed Clean, Permitted, and Built to Last.
From EV chargers to smart home systems, the electrical work behind any installation determines whether it works the way it should—and stays safe for years to come. A fan wired to the wrong box, a charger installed without a panel check, or a smart switch wired by someone guessing at the wiring—these are problems that show up later, often at the worst time.
Loch Monster Electric handles residential installations of all sizes across the Twin Cities—cleanly wired, properly permitted where required, and done right the first time. Our licensed electricians assess what your home needs before any work begins, give you a clear price upfront, and make sure everything is safe, code-compliant, and working exactly as it should before they leave.
Installed on the right box, wired correctly, with separate fan and light control.
Ceiling fan installation is one of those jobs that looks simple but has a few ways to go wrong; an undersized box, wiring that doesn't support independent fan and light control, or a fan that wobbles because it wasn't mounted correctly. We handle all of it.
Whether you have an existing light fixture we're replacing or a spot that needs new wiring run, our licensed electricians take care of the box, the wiring, and the mounting, so your fan works exactly the way it should from day one.
Level 2 home charger done right—circuit, panel check, permit, and inspection handled.
Installing a Level 2 EV charger isn't just running a wire to the garage. It starts with a panel capacity check to make sure your electrical system can handle the load, and if it can't, we'll tell you what needs to change before anything goes in. From there, we run a dedicated circuit, mount the charger, and handle the permit and inspection from start to finish.
If you already have a charger, we'll install it. If you're still deciding, we can help you choose the right unit for your vehicle, your garage setup, and your panel, so you're not buying something that doesn't work with what you have.
Smart devices work the way they're supposed to when a licensed pro wires them right.
If you're setting up a full smart home system, the wiring needs to be planned before the devices go in; not figured out after something doesn't work. Our licensed electricians handle the full scope: smart switches, thermostats, doorbells, security cameras, and whole-home audio, all wired correctly for the system you're installing.
We assess your home, plan the wiring for every device, and make sure everything is installed cleanly and up to code.

EV charger installs are the fastest-growing request we get. Ceiling fans are a close second, mostly because homeowners replace old ones and realize the wiring is not set up for a fan with a separate light kit. Smart home device wiring is also picking up as more people want their switches and thermostats to work correctly rather than just be taped to a Bluetooth hub.
Sometimes. It depends on how much capacity your current panel has. We check your panel load before recommending anything. If there is room for a 50-amp circuit, you can add a Level 2 charger without touching the panel. If not, we will tell you upfront rather than sending you a surprise invoice mid-job.
For a straight swap of an existing fixture, typically no permit is required in Minnesota. If you are adding a new circuit, changing a box, or doing anything beyond swapping what was already there, a permit may apply. We handle permit questions honestly and will tell you what is required for your specific job.
Most smart switches require a neutral wire that older wiring does not have. Smart thermostats sometimes need a C-wire added. Doorbells need low-voltage wiring run correctly. It is not complicated, but doing it wrong means your devices do not work reliably. We wire it correctly the first time so you are not troubleshooting it every week.
Most Level 2 charger installs are done in a day. We run a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to the garage, mount the charger, and handle the permit and inspection. If your panel needs work first, that may add time. We schedule everything in sequence so you are not waiting weeks between steps.

READ MOREStep into an older home in Stillwater, Baldwin, or Marine on St. Croix, and you can feel the history the moment you walk through the door. The original hardwood floors creak in familiar places, the trim work has character you just can’t find in new construction, and the wide front porch invites you to sit and watch the neighborhood go by. These homes carry stories — families raised, holidays celebrated, and generations of life lived within their walls.
READ MOREMost homeowners never think about their electrical panel until something goes wrong. But the truth is, millions of panels in homes across Minnesota and the U.S. are recalled, obsolete, or flat-out unsafe — and many have been linked to electrical fires or insurance claim denials.
