Areas We Serve

Yes. Capelle's Electric is based in Rochester, Minnesota, in Olmsted County — not Rochester, New York. We've been locally and family-owned here since 1998. If you found us in a search and weren't sure which Rochester you were looking at, this is the one in southeast Minnesota.

Rochester, Austin, and St. Charles are our core coverage, and we also take work in the surrounding southeast Minnesota communities. If you're near one of those and not sure, the fastest answer is to call or text (507) 288-3738. We'll tell you straight whether it's something we can get to rather than leaving you guessing.

Same-day services and repairs are available, and how far out we are depends on the day's schedule and where you're located. Rochester addresses are usually easiest to reach quickly since that's where our crews already are. Call early in the day and we'll give you a real answer on timing instead of a vague promise.

Any travel considerations are discussed up front, before we schedule anything. You'll know what the work costs and what's included before we start — we don't add surprises to an invoice after the fact.

Yes. Sparking or burning outlets, a burning smell, sudden loss of power, or a damaged service entrance are problems that shouldn't wait until morning, regardless of which community you're in. If it's safe to do so, shut off power to the affected circuit at your panel, then call us.

We're open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed weekends. After-hours appointments are available and holiday hours may vary. Electrical problems rarely show up at a convenient time, so if you're outside those hours it's still worth the call.

Both. Alongside residential work, we handle commercial service and repair throughout the region, including a long track record with car lots and auto dealerships — lot lighting, security systems, service bay wiring, and vehicle charging infrastructure. Property managers and business owners make up a meaningful share of our regular work.

Small jobs are a large part of what we do. One outlet, one switch, one fixture, one breaker that keeps tripping — those daily service calls are the bulk of our week, and they're never an inconvenience. We also handle the electrical side of kitchen remodels, home additions, and new garages.

Yes, in any of our service areas. As more southeast Minnesota drivers charge at home overnight, a properly sized circuit is the difference between a full battery in the morning and a tripped breaker. We'll check whether your existing panel can support the load and tell you if an upgrade is needed first.

Yes. We're a Class A Electrical Contractor, license EA 006322, and every job is handled by a certified electrician. We're licensed and fully insured, and we use quality products on every installation.

Estimates are typically back to you within one to three business days, wherever you're located. For straightforward service calls, we can often give you a clear picture of scope and cost on the spot.

Call or text (507) 288-3738, or send a message through our contact form. Tell us where you're located and what's happening, and we'll take it from there.
