Richfield's Trusted Electrician

Most electrical work in Richfield, like adding new outlets or replacing an electrical panel, requires a permit through the City's Inspections Division. We take care of all the paperwork and schedule the required safety inspections for you, making sure everything is legally documented and fully meets the strict safety standards of the Minnesota State Electrical Code.

While 60-amp fuse boxes were standard in many mid-century Richfield homes, especially across established areas like Wood Lake, they now struggle to handle the heavy power demands of modern air conditioners and electronics. Upgrading to a modern breaker panel greatly cuts down on fire risks and gives you the extra power needed for today’s technology. We provide fast, one-day swaps that bring your home’s electrical system safely into the modern era.

Older garages, especially the classic detached garages found throughout neighborhoods like East Richfield often do not have enough power for a Level 2 electric vehicle charger. We check your current electrical load to see if your system can handle a new 240-volt line. If your main panel is full, we can install a smaller sub-panel or upgrade your service. We also take care of all the trenching from your house out to the detached garage, making sure your car charges safely and easily overnight.

Many older homes in Veterans Park still rely on aging or ungrounded wiring that struggles to handle severe Minnesota storms and power surges. We provide thorough electrical safety inspections, targeted wiring repairs, and whole-home surge protection to keep your sensitive electronics safe and your vintage home stable all year round.

Yes. You can add an electrical sub-panel for an ADU. However, under Minnesota law, unlicensed homeowners cannot wire an ADU themselves if the space will be rented or occupied by others. As a licensed contractor, Loch Monster Electric can handle the entire installation and pull the required state permit for you.
