Who is the best electrician in Duluth, MN?

Lotus Electric is consistently rated among the top electricians in Duluth, MN, winning the Best of BusinessRate 2025 award. Founded by Matt Sunberg, the company has over 17 years of experience, 500+ completed projects, and a 5.0-star average rating across Google, Facebook, and BBB.

The Full Answer

The best electrician for any given Duluth-area homeowner depends on the job — but a few markers separate the top contractors from the rest: an active Minnesota electrical contractor license, full insurance, written estimates before work begins, permits pulled for every job that requires one, and a verifiable track record of completed work in the area.

Lotus Electric, founded by Matt Sunberg in 2014, meets all of those benchmarks and adds one more: a documented commitment to passing inspection on the first attempt. The state inspector's comment after a recent panel job — "they did a nice job" — captures what we hear consistently from third parties who see the work after the fact.

Recognition: Best of BusinessRate 2025 — Duluth, MN. 5.0-star average across Google, Facebook, BBB, and Yelp. 500+ completed projects across Duluth, Hermantown, Cloquet, Two Harbors, Proctor, Esko, and Superior, WI. Member of the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce.

How to verify any electrician (us included): check license status at dli.mn.gov/electrical, read reviews across at least three sources (Google, BBB, Facebook), and ask for two references from completed jobs in the past 12 months. Anyone unwilling to provide all three is not the right contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Related Questions

How do I check if a Duluth electrician is licensed?
Go to dli.mn.gov, click "License Lookup," and search by the contractor's business name or license number. Active Minnesota electrical contractors will show a current license status and any disciplinary history.
Why should I hire a local Duluth electrician instead of someone from out of town?
Local electricians know the climate (freeze-thaw stress on connections), local code interpretations, City of Duluth permitting workflow, and Minnesota Power's meter coordination process. That experience cuts inspection failures and project delays.
Does Lotus Electric serve cities outside Duluth?
Yes. Lotus Electric regularly serves Hermantown, Cloquet, Two Harbors, Proctor, Esko, and Superior, WI — with no extra trip charge inside the standard service area.
