Winkels Electric Inc

This guy came out when he said he was going to. Was able to get my garage heater hooked up no problem and knew exactly what was needed to get the job done. No fluff, no excuses, and no problems. I love doing work with small businesses and over operators because they actually treat you like a person and not another number. Highly recommend. On a side note, my wife is so happy with a heated garage and not having to spend 35+minutes warming up the car and we can utilize our garage fridge in the winter without everything exploding. Thank you so much.

I recently purchased a fixer-upper in Rochester, MN to flip, and the house needed a complete rewire plus a new meter/main service upgrade. I had four different electricians come out to bid the job. Winkles Electric was actually the last company I called, yet they ended up being the clear winner by a mile.

Not only did they provide the most competitive and fair pricing, they were incredibly responsive from the very first call. They came out the same day I requested an estimate (others took days or even weeks), and I had a detailed quote in my inbox faster than anyone else.

During the project we had a major setback when a tree took down the power line to the house, causing a total outage. Sam and the Winkles team went above and beyond – they coordinated everything with Rochester Public Utilities, handled all the communication, and got our power restored quickly so the job could stay on schedule.

We’re about halfway through the rewire right now and I couldn’t be happier. The crew is professional, clean, and genuinely cares about doing things the right way. Sam, in particular, has been phenomenal. He’s answered my questions at all hours (yes, even late-evening calls when something random popped into my head), always polite, patient, and ready to help.

In an industry where it’s hard to find contractors you can truly trust, Winkles Electric has been a breath of fresh air. Fair pricing, lightning-fast response times, exceptional customer service, and real expertise – you can’t ask for more than that.

I recommend Winkles Electric without any hesitation. If you need electrical work in the Rochester area, call Sam and his team first. You’ll be glad you did!

5 stars isn’t enough – thank you, Winkles Electric!

After great service last month we reached out to Winkels Electric again and were pleased to once more retain excellent assistance. Larry was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, addressed our issue and took time to explain things in a language I could understand. It’s comforting to know I can rely on Winkels when I have a problem. Thank you so much!

Excellent service. Kevin came out and replaced five of our hardwired smoke/co detectors and fixed a faulty outlet. He was knowledgeable, efficient and very kind - and patient with some unrelated questions I had! Highly recommend.
