FAQ

Common questions

Can you work in a building with tenants living in it?
Yes. Most multi-family work happens in occupied buildings. Power shutoffs are planned with notice, kept as short as the job allows, and sequenced so that as few units as possible are affected at one time.
Do you handle work on the main service and meters?
We can perform electrical work on service equipment and meter banks. Utility disconnects and reconnects are done by the utility, so we coordinate timing with them and plan around their schedule.
Is it worth replacing an old panel before it fails?
It depends on the panel, its condition and what is attached to it. We look for corrosion, damaged or overheated parts, double-tapped breakers and an overloaded service, and we give you an honest recommendation.
Can you do the work in phases to match our budget?
Usually, yes. Many projects can be broken into stages, such as life-safety items first and cosmetic upgrades later. We will tell you where phasing makes sense and where doing something in pieces creates extra cost.
More about multi-family electrical services

A multi-family building is an electrical system with many users sharing the same infrastructure. A service enters at one or more points, feeds meter stacks or meter banks, runs to unit panels, and continues on to house panels serving hallways, stairwells, laundry rooms, mechanical equipment and exterior lighting. Work on any one part affects the others, and in an occupied building it affects tenants who rely on power every day.

Prime Time Electric MN, LLC provides electrical services for apartment buildings, condominium associations and townhome communities across the Twin Cities. Our work ranges from replacing a failing panel in a single unit to upgrading service equipment, adding circuits for new appliances, and correcting wiring problems that show up in older buildings. Every job follows the National Electrical Code as adopted in Minnesota, with permits and inspections handled as required. For a building-wide plan, see our multi-family preventive maintenance guide.

Many Twin Cities apartment buildings date from well before today's electrical loads, and their wiring shows it. We help owners understand what the building has, what it needs, and in what order to address it so that money goes to the items that matter most.

When you need it

  • Service equipment, meter stacks or unit panels show age, corrosion or damage
  • Tenants add air conditioning, laundry or high-draw appliances and circuits cannot keep up
  • A building has mixed old and new wiring, ungrounded outlets or undocumented circuits
  • You are renovating units or a floor and need electrical coordinated with other trades
  • A lender, insurer or city inspection requires electrical corrections
  • Panels are unlabeled, so no one can identify which breaker feeds which space
  • You plan to add EV charging, new lighting, or upgraded equipment to the property

Our process

  1. Walkthrough

    We look at the equipment, wiring and the problems you are seeing, in the building or the specific units.

  2. Scope and sequence

    We propose what to do, in what order, and how to limit outages and disruption to occupants.

  3. Phased work

    We schedule shutoffs, notify the right people, and complete the work unit by unit or system by system.

  4. Inspection and handoff

    The work is inspected, panels are labeled, and you receive a summary of what changed.

More questions

Do you work with condo and HOA boards?
Yes. We work with boards and their managers, and we can put findings and recommendations in a form that is easy to bring to a board meeting. Responsibility for what falls on the association versus the unit owner is set by your governing documents, which we leave to you and your counsel.
