Updated 2026: STILL MY TOP CHOICE FOR EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL. I’ve worked with EarlyBird Electric for several years now and across well over a dozen projects. Overall, they’ve consistently delivered high-quality electrical work, and they remain one of the companies I trust with my home. If you’re scheduling, I highly recommend asking for Garret whenever possible. Early on, Brandon installed a new ceiling fan for me after my old one failed. He was punctual, professional, and extremely thorough—the very first thing he did was open my breaker panel to verify labeling and layout before touching anything. That level of care and attention to detail immediately stood out. Later, Garret handled more complex projects, including installing a new subpanel and fully correcting the wiring to a basement bathroom heater that another company had previously miswired. He understood the issue right away, explained it clearly, and fixed it properly. That job alone demonstrated the difference between average work and true expertise. Most recently, EarlyBird installed a Level 2 EV charger inside my garage. The installation itself went well and functions exactly as expected. As with any long-term contractor relationship, there have been a few minor hiccups over the years, but Garret’s continued involvement and follow-through have made a real difference and kept things moving in the right direction. Scheduling with EarlyBird is easy—I typically book online or over text—and the technicians I’ve worked with have been prepared, communicative, and detail-oriented. They take the time to do things correctly rather than rushing through jobs. I’ve worked with many contractors, and EarlyBird remains one of the more reliable electrical companies I’ve used. With strong technical work and solid leadership from people like Garret, they’re a company I’ll continue to call for future projects.

Tim of Early Bird did an excellent job of explaining the situation and resolving it in a timely manner. I was impressed with his work ethic and can do attitude. He even matched the exterior look of our Edina home.

I had storm damage to my home that pulled down the power line and damaged the meter and service equipment. Tim Janisch and the EarlyBird Electric team stepped in on the weekend, got temporary power restored, replaced the outside meter and mast equipment, updated the grounding, handled the permit, and stayed with the job through final inspection. It was a stressful situation, but I appreciated their communication, responsiveness, and willingness to see the job all the way through until it passed inspection. I’m very thankful to have my home safely powered again and would highly recommend them.

We called Early Bird Electrical in Rochester, MN to replace and install a new ceiling fan and light. I noticed their good reviews and they didn't disappoint! Caleb and Riley came out just one day after I called and quickly and professionally installed and got rid of our old one. Very courteous and super clean, made sure to go over the new fan and light remote directions and that everything worked as it should!

Tim from Early Bird Electric of Minneapolis stopped out and went over the issues we’ve been experiencing with our fridge / breaker / circuit. He had exceptional customer service skills especially being I didn’t have a lot of knowledge for him to start off of. He went through the possible issues & solutions, answered my questions & even returned the two visiting grandmas hugs who offered. Very grateful for him finding solutions that made sense and were reasonable not pressuring me to spend money on unnecessary things. I sure hope you compensate workers like Tim with a good work life balance as well as competitive pay. Gold Star all around!
