Commercial electrical, done right since 1978.
Helm Electric Inc has wired commercial and industrial buildings across Farmington and southern Minnesota for 48 years — lighting retrofits, electrical underground, parking lot lighting, and industrial equipment wiring.
Commercial & Industrial Electrical
Complete installation from start to finish on your building or service needs — plus the specialty equipment that keeps a job moving through a Minnesota winter.
Commercial & Industrial Construction
Complete electrical installation from start to finish on new buildings, additions, and commercial remodels.
Lighting Retrofit
Upgrading existing fixtures to efficient LED, plus new lighting layouts for warehouses, shops, and offices.
Parking Lot Lighting & Pole Setting
Site and parking lot lighting from the underground feed through base, pole, fixture, and final connection.
Electrical Underground
Underground conduit banks and feeder runs for new construction, site work, and service upgrades.
Ground Thawing
Heated ground thawing equipment so excavation and underground work keep moving through frozen ground.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Service work, diagnostics, and repairs that keep production equipment and facilities running.
Recent Projects
Commercial and industrial jobs across the south metro and southern Minnesota.
Ground thawing — before and after
Heat loops laid across frozen ground and covered with insulated blankets thaw the soil from the surface down. Days later the same wall is open and workable: trench cut, conduit risers set, and underground feeders run, while the ground around it is still frozen. It is the difference between running underground in February and waiting until spring.
Parking lot pole setting
Setting an LED area-light pole onto its concrete base with a hydraulic pole setter. Helm handles the full scope — base, underground feed, pole, fixture, and final connection.
Electrical underground
A bank of conduit sweeping out of the foundation and squared up on the trench bottom before backfill.
Switchgear and distribution
Distribution gear set, landed, and terminated for a commercial facility.
Lighting retrofit
LED high-bay lighting through a warehouse — better light levels on the floor and lower draw than what it replaced.
Standby power
Standby generator and exterior gear set on new pads, fed, and terminated so the building keeps running when the utility does not.
Industrial equipment wiring
Control panel terminations for production equipment — labeled, landed, and ready to troubleshoot years from now.
Rough-in and stub-ups
Conduit stub-ups set and braced at the foundation ahead of the pour, so nothing has to be chased later.
Industrial site work
Conduit run up an exterior process tank — outdoor industrial work that has to survive Minnesota weather.
Service equipment
Meter bank and disconnects on a new commercial building, laid out for clean access and future service.
