How multifamily electrical is scoped as a property, not a house call

Units, house load, and the utility interface are different owners and different shutdowns. They get named before anyone quotes a stack of residential jobs.

  • Unit vs house gear

    In-unit repair for an occupied apartment is access, notice, and a fault that cannot wait for turnover. Halls, stairs, laundry, and entries are house load nobody owns as their unit.

  • Access and notice

    A tenant, a manager, and a date. Occupied units are noticed. Vacant punch lists and condo association gear are different boundaries — and different pages.

  • Meter banks vs a service increase

    Sockets and a layout the utility will still accept are the bank. A building that needs more capacity is a multifamily service upgrade — diversity, not a stack of 200-amp jobs.

  • Parking and EV are building loads

    Carports, lots, and assigned stalls land on house meters or on assigned meters. Those are different designs, and they belong on the property conversation, not on a unit ticket.

Multifamily electrical questions

What property managers ask before a unit or a house meter is opened.

The tenant has a dead circuit. Is that a building job?

Often it is the unit. If the fault is on house gear — a riser, a house panel, a meter — that crosses the line. Start at apartment electrical repair and we will say which side it is.

Can you replace a meter bank without upgrading the service?

Yes, when the sockets or the layout are what the utility flagged. A building that needs more capacity is multifamily service upgrade.

Do you need access to every unit?

Only the ones the job actually touches. Common-area and meter-bank work stays on house property. In-unit work is noticed and scheduled with the manager.

What do you need from us?

Unit count, what is failing, who has to be noticed, and any utility correspondence. Photos of the house gear with the doors open belong with that.
