Inherited Wiring in Corridor Business Space

The most common electrical surprise on Road 68 isn’t in the houses — it’s in the commercial units. A suite that has turned over three or four tenants has usually been rewired three or four times, each fit-out adding circuits for whatever that business needed and abandoning whatever it didn’t.

What you inherit is a panel whose labelling stopped being accurate several tenants ago, circuits running to places nobody can account for, and occasionally junction boxes buried behind finishes where they shouldn’t be. None of it is necessarily dangerous. All of it makes the next fit-out slower and more expensive than it needed to be, because the first job is working out what’s actually there.

If you’re taking on a corridor unit, an electrical inspection before you sign is one of the cheapest pieces of due diligence available. It tells you what capacity you actually have, what needs correcting, and whether the space can carry the equipment your business plans to put in it — while you still have room to negotiate about who pays for it.

What Happens When We Come Out

1. You call or book onlineTell us what you’re trying to add or what’s misbehaving.

3. Upfront quote before any workAn exact price and your options in plain language, including permit and utility coordination where it applies.
4. The workDone to current code, by licensed electricians, with the inspection handled.
5. Test and verifyWe confirm everything is working and safe before we leave.

Signs Your Panel Needs Attention

What you’re seeing	What it usually means
Breakers tripping under normal load	Circuit is undersized for what’s on it, or a fault is developing.
Lights dimming when large equipment starts	Voltage drop — worth investigating, especially if it’s new behaviour.
Warm panel cover, buzzing, or a burning smell	Stop and call. This is the urgent category.
Panel labelling that no longer matches reality	Common in tenanted space. Worth mapping properly before the next fit-out.
Adding an EV charger, hot tub or commercial equipment	Load calculation first — it decides everything downstream.

Keeping It Running

• Test GFCI outlets monthly — press the test button and confirm it trips and resets.
• Keep panel labelling current, particularly in tenanted space. It costs an hour once and saves it on every job afterward.
• Consider surge protection where there’s expensive electronics or variable-speed HVAC equipment.
• Get an electrical inspection before taking on a space someone else has modified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is my electric utility on Road 68?

Franklin PUD. That’s different from Kennewick, which is served by Benton PUD, and different again from Richland, which runs its own city-owned utility. It matters mainly for meter work, service upgrades and new connections. We coordinate with Franklin PUD regularly.

Do you do electrical work for businesses on the corridor?

Yes — tenant improvement wiring, lighting including LED retrofits, panel and service work, and customer-facing EV chargers. We’re licensed for commercial as well as residential.

I’m leasing a unit on Road 68. Should I get the electrical checked first?

Strongly recommended. Space that has turned over several tenants usually carries several rounds of undocumented modifications, and an inspection tells you what capacity you actually have and what needs correcting — while you still have room to negotiate who pays for it.

Can my home take an EV charger?

Usually yes. The honest answer depends on a load calculation across your existing equipment, particularly if you have a heat pump with electric auxiliary heat that draws hard on the coldest nights. We do the calculation before quoting the install.

Do you pull permits?

Yes, where the work requires them, and we handle the inspection. Unpermitted electrical work causes problems at resale and at lease renewal, and is not worth the shortcut.

Do you do electrical and HVAC on the same visit?

Yes. We’re licensed for HVAC, electrical and plumbing in-house — one contractor who already knows the building, instead of three scheduled on three different days.
