Electrical Services in Happy Valley

Panel Upgrades & Replacements

If your home still relies on an outdated or crowded panel, we’ll replace it with a modern, properly labeled unit sized for today’s loads. Our Happy Valley team handles grounding/bonding corrections, new breakers, surge protection options, and tidy conduit work. We also address clearance issues and relocation when needed. Every project includes a site evaluation, load calculations, and coordination for permits and inspections with the appropriate local authority, so your upgrade is safe, code-compliant, and ready for future additions.

  • 100A Panel: Suitable for smaller homes with modest electrical demand; often a replacement for older service with limited large appliances.
  • 200A Panel: Most common for modern homes, supporting EV charging, hot tubs, remodels, and multiple high-demand appliances.
  • 300A Panel: Added capacity for larger properties or accessory structures; useful when planning simultaneous EV, spa, and workshop loads.
  • 400A Panel: For large residences or estates with heavy HVAC, multiple EVs, and specialty equipment; allows sub-panels and future expansion.

Service Upgrade

(Meter, Mast & Utility Coordination)

When you need more power to the house, not just a new panel, we upgrade the electrical service itself. That can include a new service mast, meter base, service disconnect, and conductor sizing to match increased amperage. We manage the details: utility shut-off scheduling, permit/inspection steps, and safety clearances. A service upgrade is often the right move when you’re adding a Level 2 charger, hot tub, or major remodel and want stable voltage, reduced nuisance tripping, and room to grow.

Sauna & Hot Tub Electrical

Moisture-area wiring requires precision. We install dedicated, GFCI-protected circuits sized for your spa or sauna, verify clear working space, and place a weather-rated disconnect within code-compliant sightlines. Bonding and grounding are checked end-to-end, and outdoor runs use the right conduit, fittings, and support for long service life. Whether it’s a backyard hot tub in Happy Valley or an indoor sauna, we handle permits, inspection coordination, and testing, so you can power up confidently on day one.

Electric Vehicle Charger Installation

Charge at home, the fast and safe way. We complete load calculations, install a dedicated circuit, and set your charger location for convenient cable reach and neat conduit routing. Options include a NEMA 14-50 receptacle or hard-wired EVSE, with labeling and verification at hand-off. If panel capacity is tight, we’ll propose smart load management or an upgrade. From detached garages to long driveway runs, we build clean, code-compliant charging that’s ready for daily use.

  • Level 1 (120V): Basic charging from a standard outlet; good for overnight top-ups at 4-5 miles of range per hour.
  • Level 2 (240V), plug-in or hard-wired: The residential standard for faster daily charging, typically 20-60 miles of range per hour depending on amperage.
  • Tesla Wall Connector: Fast, reliable home charging with multiple power settings; up to 44 miles of range per hour and as high as 48A (NACS; J1772 compatibility noted on your page).
  • ChargePoint Level 2: Adjustable amperage, up to 50A and 37 miles of range per hour; supports J1772 and NACS.
  • Ford F-150 Lightning Charge Station Pro: High-amp Level 2 (up to 80A) with integration for Ford’s intelligent backup-power features.
  • Rivian Wall Charger: Up to 48A and 25 miles of range per hour with smart charging features.
  • Leviton Level 2: Durable residential option up to 48A and 30 miles of range per hour.
  • DC Fast Charging (commercial or specialty sites): Ultra-fast options delivering roughly 60-100 miles in about 20 minutes; typically used outside the home.

Happy Valley Electrical FAQ's

Do you handle residential and small commercial work?

Yes. Most of our projects are residential; we also support small offices and retail tenant improvements.

What size panel do I need?

It depends on your current loads and future plans (EV, hot tub, kitchen remodel). We calculate this during your estimate and recommend 200A service when appropriate.

Can you install a Level 2 charger in an older home?

Often yes. We’ll evaluate spare capacity, wiring method, and run length; if needed, we’ll propose a panel or service upgrade.

What’s the difference between GFCI and AFCI?

GFCI protects against shock (especially in wet areas). AFCI helps detect arcing faults that can start fires. Many areas of the home require one or both under current code.

Do you coordinate inspections?

When a permit/inspection is required for your scope, we’ll outline the steps in your estimate and schedule work accordingly.

Is there a warranty?

We stand behind our workmanship and materials as specified in your written estimate. Ask your estimator for details by project type.
