More about unit turnover electrical work
Turnover is the window when an apartment is empty, accessible and ready for work. For electrical, it is the best time to deal with what tenants live with or report: loose and cracked devices, missing cover plates, tired light fixtures, outlets that do not hold a plug, bathroom fans that rattle, and circuits that have never been right. Fixing these while the unit is empty is faster and cheaper than sending someone back after the next tenant moves in.
Prime Time Electric MN, LLC does turnover electrical work for property managers and owners across the Twin Cities. You give us a list or ask us to walk the unit, and we complete the electrical items so the unit is safe and ready to show. That includes catching problems a tenant would not notice, such as reversed polarity, missing GFCI protection in kitchens and baths, or open junction boxes behind finish work. Our unit turnover electrical checklist lists what to check in each room.
The turnover period is short and every day vacant costs money, so the work needs to be organized and predictable. We focus on the electrical scope, coordinate with your painters, cleaners and maintenance staff, and tell you promptly if we find something that changes the plan.

- Light fixtures, ceiling fans or bathroom fans are damaged, missing or outdated
- The move-out walkthrough turned up dead outlets, flickering or tripping circuits
- Kitchen, bath, laundry or exterior outlets lack GFCI protection
