More about electrical demolition
Electrical demolition is not just tearing things out. Before a ceiling comes down or a wall is removed, someone has to determine which circuits feed what, de-energize them, verify they are dead and make sure that circuits serving other tenants or areas stay on. That work belongs to a licensed electrician.
In commercial buildings, the existing wiring is often not documented. Circuits may be shared across spaces, abandoned wiring may remain in the ceiling and panel directories may be wrong. We trace circuits before we cut them, which helps prevent unplanned outages and surprises for your demolition crew.
We work ahead of general contractors and demolition crews on gut renovations, tenant turnovers and partial demolitions in the Twin Cities. We remove what the scope calls for, safely terminate or relocate what has to stay, and leave the space ready for new rough-in.
When you need it
- A tenant space is being gutted for a new build-out and the old electrical must be removed
- Walls and ceilings are coming down and the circuits inside them must be shut off first
- A demolition contractor needs the area made safe before work starts
- A section of a building is being removed while the remainder stays in operation
- Abandoned wiring, old fixtures or unused equipment feeds are in the way of new work
- Existing circuits that feed neighboring spaces pass through the area being demolished
- Equipment is being removed and its feeders and disconnects have to be made safe
What’s included, in detail
We determine what feeds the area and what else those circuits serve.
Circuits are shut off, locked out as appropriate and tested before anyone cuts anything.
Lighting, receptacles, switches and low-voltage devices removed per the scope.
Abandoned and obsolete wiring taken out where accessible and called for.
Pass-through circuits that serve other areas are relocated so they stay in service.
Remaining conductors terminated safely in approved enclosures.
Breakers labeled or removed and directories corrected after circuits are retired.
Our process
- Survey and trace
We walk the area with the GC or owner and identify the circuits, panels and equipment affected.
- Plan the shutdown
We schedule outages, notify affected parties and decide what must stay live.
- Isolate and remove
We de-energize, verify, then remove devices, fixtures and wiring in the scope.
- Make safe and hand off
Remaining circuits are terminated properly and the area is released to the next trade.
