FAQ

Common questions

Is your assessment the same as an official inspection?
No. Official inspections of permitted work are done by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry or the local jurisdiction. Our assessment is a licensed contractor's review of the system, which helps you prepare for an inspection or decide what to repair.
Who inspects electrical work in the Twin Cities?
It depends on the city. Some cities, such as St. Paul, administer their own electrical inspections; in many others the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry inspects. We confirm which applies to your address and deal with the right office.
What happens if work fails inspection?
The inspector lists what must be corrected. We make the corrections, then ask for a re-inspection. A failed inspection is often a fixable item and not a serious setback.
Should I fix electrical issues before I list my house?
It depends on what the issues are. Safety items and open permit problems are usually better resolved before buyers find them. Minor items may be negotiable, and we can help you decide which category yours falls into.
More about electrical inspections & corrections

Several different things get called an electrical inspection. A home inspector looks at the whole house and may note electrical concerns. A city or state electrical inspector reviews work done under a permit and approves or fails it. An insurer or lender may send someone to look at a specific item. Each has a different purpose, and each leaves you with a different kind of paperwork and a different next step.

Prime Time Electric MN, LLC helps you through that process from the electrical side. We walk the property, check the panel, wiring and devices, and give you a straightforward assessment of what we see. When an inspector has failed work or listed concerns, we address them, schedule the re-inspection and meet the inspector's requirements. In Minnesota, permitted electrical work is inspected by the Department of Labor and Industry or, in cities that run their own electrical inspections such as St. Paul, by the city.

Our assessment is not a substitute for a formal inspection by the authority having jurisdiction. It is a licensed contractor's view of the system's condition, the safety items that matter, and the work needed to resolve them.

When you need it

  • You are selling and want to learn about electrical issues before buyers find them
  • You are buying and a home inspector flagged the panel, wiring or outlets
  • A permitted job failed inspection and needs corrections and re-inspection
  • An insurer or lender requires an electrical review or documented repairs
  • A building has had no electrical attention in years and you want to know its condition
  • You are planning a renovation and need to know what the existing system can handle
  • A property manager needs the electrical condition of a unit or building documented

Our process

  1. Define the goal

    We learn why you need the inspection: sale, purchase, failed permit, insurance or a general safety check.

  2. Assess

    We check the system on site, or review the inspector's report and verify each item.

  3. Fix and permit

    We complete needed corrections, obtaining permits where required.

  4. Pass and document

    The work is inspected and you receive the documentation for your records or the transaction.

More questions

How long does an inspection and correction process take?
It depends on how many items there are, whether permits are needed, and the inspector's schedule. We cannot control inspector availability, but we plan the work to keep the process moving.
