If you want an electrician who knows his craft so well that he can detect—and is willing to notice—a hot wire on the other side of your circuit breaker panel, and leaves your home while you say to yourself, What a decent human being, Anthony’s your guy. He’s been here twice: once to work on an HVAC-related electrical issue (serendipitously he also solved an AC issue and discovered a sparking wire), once with a co-worker to follow up with a new installation and some preventive work. Each time, he left my house safer, more assessed, and more functional. His professional skills are excellent (clear, detailed estimates; good communications; respect of the home; etc) and his prices fair. If another electrical issue comes up, I would call him straightaway.
Response from the owner · 5 months ago
Kate, thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. We’re grateful you trusted Sunny Side Solutions with your electrical work in Minneapolis, and it means a lot to know I was able to help make your home safer, more functional, and better assessed. We also appreciate you recognizing our clear communication, detailed estimates, respect for your home, and fair pricing. If you ever need an electrician again, we’ll be here and would be honored to help. Best regards, Anthony

Thank you! My happiness is beyond words.. We were in need of roof replacement due to hail damage, but we hit the wall once we found out the challenges of removing and reinstalling our solar panels.
Sunny Side Solutions saved us from going insane and doing everything by ourselves. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the exceptional service, amazing timing and for affordability. I’m happy to know that from now I know who can we trust and rely on!
Response from the owner · a year ago
Anita, reading your words genuinely means the world to us. Thank you
for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how difficult it can be to get your roof repaired from hail damage with PV modules resting on it. It was our honor to have been able to step in and make that process easier for you.
We are grateful to be the team you can rely on now and beyond. It’s
clients like you who remind us why we do what we do. From all of us at
Sunny Side Solutions, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you
ever need anything else, we’re here.
