They will be hot on your project and then you have to bug the crap out of them to do anything.

Electric or Gas on the second floor ?

I am currently working as a control engineer in building automation, with experience as an electrical contractor from previous employment.

But in any case it's important to manage in a professional manner. ie documenting everything in writing and no cutting off electricity, etc. 

If you get 5 quotes, 1 will be high, 1 will be low and 3 in the middle.Also, most insurance companies who will write a 30 unit complex will not write small (4 units and under) properties, so don't make any assumptions on premiums based on small properties.In this market, all insurance companies are really scrutinizing the age of the roof (older than 18 years can become an issue) and want to see circuit breakers for the electrical. 

There needs to be a location that is close enough to plumbing, has enough electrical supply, and has the physical space to put them in without hurting the apartment space. 

Right now, we are making the chat feature available just to PRO members to help us test it out and find bugs.

If you get a chance, please wish her the same - she's the one that helps you all out with all the little bugs and glitches you have on the site, and she works tirelessly to make your experience on BP better every day!

Sebastian, as an electrical contractor I can give you an idea what I would do.

We found out that the electrical had to be upgraded for about $1200, but no new problems came up.
