About Us: Connected to Our Past, Connected to Your Future

Peoples Electric Company is a capable team of experienced and highly trained professionals that keep you connected by leveraging a wide range of technical expertise, knowledge and equipment. As one of the area’s largest trades employers, Peoples prides itself on employee retention. This wealth of veteran experience means Peoples understands the special needs of your business and brings loyalty and dedication to every job, whether it's electrical contracting, communications systems, controls, traffic signal and street lighting, preventive maintenance or emergency service. We do what we do well, while avoiding pitfalls such as costly surprises or overdependence on proprietary technologies.

Through the years, we have had the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of outstanding local, state and national firms and facilities including: the Minnesota State Capitol, Metropolitan Airports Commission, Minnesota Children's Museum, Macalester College, Knight-Ridder, McDonald's, Shrine Hospital, 3M, the City of St. Paul, Ramsey County, Bethel College, Unisys Corporation, Northwest Airlines, and U.S. Bank.

We bring a tradition of dependability and quality to your project, whether you're an owner, general contractor, property manager, developer, construction manager or architecture/engineering firm. Located in St. Paul, Minnesota, we began in 1922 as an appliance store and wiring installer and soon grew into a regional electrical contractor — eventually becoming one of the larger specialty contracting firms in the U.S. Throughout our growth, we have remained a family-owned business that continues to emphasize the importance of community and personalized service. Under the guidance of three generations of family management, we have achieved substantial growth as well as a large volume of repeat business. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and an active member of the community, supporting many local organizations that benefit children, education and health care.
