What our customers say
Real customer reviews from our Google Business Profile, quoted word for word. Harlan Austin, named in some reviews, is one of the company's three partners.
A couple of very nice guys that were straight forward and willing listen to my need and work with what I wanted to get done. They were quick but cleaned up and put everything back after they were done. Could not be happier and will be calling them back any time I need electrical work done.
Harlan was exceptionally thorough in assessing our project needs and advising impartially on the best path forward. Would highly recommend.
Great experience all around! High quality work, great communication, detail-oriented, kind. Would hire again in a heartbeat.

More about commercial tenant improvements
A tenant improvement, or TI, is the interior build-out of a leased commercial space: offices, retail, clinics, restaurants, light industrial and everything in between. The electrical scope usually includes new branch circuits, panel work, lighting, receptacles, dedicated circuits for equipment, and the pathways for low-voltage and data.
TI work is different from a stand-alone project because the building is already there. The landlord may control panel capacity, shutdown windows and who can work in shared rooms. The existing electrical may not match the as-built drawings. We plan around those realities so the build-out does not stall on a surprise in the ceiling.
Prime Time Electric MN, LLC works with general contractors, developers, property managers and business owners across Minnesota. Whether you hire us directly or we work under your GC, the permits, inspections and code compliance are handled the same way.
When you need it
- You are leasing a new suite and the layout, lighting or power does not fit how you will use it
- A prior tenant's build-out needs electrical demolition before the space is rebuilt for a new use
- Your new layout needs more circuits, a panel addition or a sub-panel than the suite currently has
- A change of use, such as office to medical or retail to restaurant, changes the electrical load and requirements
- The landlord's work letter requires specific electrical items to be delivered before you can open
- You are moving equipment, workstations or a server room into space that was never wired for it
- A lease deadline or opening date means the electrical has to be sequenced tightly with other trades
What’s included, in detail
We read the drawings, the work letter and the existing conditions, and flag conflicts before they cost you schedule.
New panels, sub-panels, feeders and branch circuits sized for the actual loads in the suite.
Fixture installation, switching, occupancy sensing and dimming where the plans call for them.
Workstation, break room, copier, server and equipment outlets placed and circuited as designed.
Egress lighting and exit signs installed to the layout so the suite can pass its final inspection.
Conduit, boxes and support for data, security and AV so other trades can pull their cable cleanly.
We pull the electrical permit and schedule inspections with DLI or the local jurisdiction.
Our process
- Walk the space
We review the plans against what is actually above the ceiling and in the electrical room, including available panel capacity.
- Coordinate and schedule
We line up our rough-in with your GC, the landlord's access rules and other trades.
- Rough-in, inspect, finish
Wiring goes in before the walls close, passes inspection, then fixtures, devices and trim are installed.
- Final inspection and turnover
We test circuits, label panels, resolve any inspector comments and hand the space back ready for occupancy.
