Benson Electric is helping power the future of solar energy in Duluth/Superior and surrounding areas. Since beginning in 2018, we have installed or been part of, over 100 solar electric systems throughout the area. Projects such as Ecolibrium's Solar Garden, Canal Park Brewery, and many residential installations. We specialize in the sales, design and installation of solar electric and back-up energy storage systems for residential homes, as well as large commercial buildings. We have one goal in mindto provide homeowners in the Northland with a simple and cost effective way to get the best solar technology, all while saving on their utilities.

In the early 1900's as local utility companies ceased electrical wiring of premises, Benson Electric Company began. Over the years we have wired whole town's distribution systems, laid under water cable, wired industrial plants and commercial businesses. Benson Electric Company committed to excellence. From beginning to end, our engineering department, project management, and electricians work as a team to bring projects in on time, with customer satisfaction.

Since the early 1900's Benson Electric Company has been a leader in residential electrical construction and service. We have provided everything from wiring new houses/remodeling to changing receptacles and light switches. With new technology ever expanding, we are able to assist homeowners and builders by installing telephone, cable, and computer cabling. Our staff can design the proper systems to fulfill our customer's needs. We currently have ten service electricians to provide scheduled and emergency service for homeowners.

What's new?

When taking care of your home, the urge to do things yourself is always there and usually comes with a great feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment.... .But sometimes it can go epically wrong! Certain areas are better left to the experts, and electrical installations top that list.
