I had 5 bids from other companies and chose Three Rivers because they were honest, straightforward and professional! Grant and Tyler did a FABULOUS job and they were GREAT to work with!!! I’m so glad I went with them! My new under the cabinet lights are PERFECT!!!” — Laurie Platt★★★★★ “I had a great experience with Three Rivers Electric! The response times were great, they gave a transparent quote, they completely the work quickly and did a great job. I would definitely recommend!” — Haley Van Cleve★★★★★ “Three Rivers Electric is a fantastic, young and local company for an EV charger install. The best things about them are that they are less expensive than their competition, they give you options for the EV charger install location, they work hard and fast, and they are really knowledgeable about EV chargers. We got a quote from another company for comparison, and it was WAY more expensive with only 1 option provided.” — Matthew Nordeen★★★★★ “The team at Three Rivers Electric provided me with solid advice and options, and did a fantastic job with installation of my solar project. They responded immediately when a roofer accidentally severed an old and brittle power line, and got Xcel out fast. In addition to providing great service, they are super friendly and helpful. In fact, I was so happy with their service I hired them for three additional projects, including installing living room ceiling lights & fan, converting my wood fireplace to electric and my gas dryer hookup to electric. I will definitely use them for my future projects.” — Audie Black★★★★★ “Great service on a difficult job installing 220 in our garage for my Prius. Got 3 bids from other electricians and Three Rivers sent Tyler and Grant who managed to get a line thru from one end of the house to the garage, with many unseen obstacles in the finished ceiling. 2 very "Can Do" guys! Thanks a million!!” — Lisa Citak★★★★★ “Excellent service from start to finish. I had two recessed can lights that stopped working and couldn’t figure out the issue. They were able to troubleshoot it quickly, fix the problem, and make sure everything was working properly before leaving. Professional, efficient, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend if you need an electrician in the St. Paul Park area.” — Sean Hogan★★★★★ “Worked with Grant and Tyler. They were able to get electricity into my detached garage. I’ve been trying to get it done for over 3 years and they accomplished it in less than half a day.” — Kcs★★★★★ “What a smooth process! Tyler reached out right after my Thumbtack request, and despite my crazy work schedule, he accommodated me by coming as early as 7 AM to install my Tesla charger.” — Zobia Ahmed★★★★★ “Price was a bit high but worth it for the experience that I had. Glad my money went to good humans.” — Hayden Northup★★★★★ “Grant and Tyler at Three Rivers Electric did a Meter Socket Replacement at my house. They are knowledgeable and reliable people.
