We focus on safety, clarity, and lasting results. Here’s what to expect:
When your home needs more capacity, we upgrade the electrical service, not just the panel. This can include a new service mast, meter base, service disconnect, and properly sized conductors to support higher amperage. We handle the details: utility coordination, safety clearances, and the permit/inspection process required for service changes. A service upgrade is often the right move for EV charging, hot tubs, remodels, and additions where you want stable power and room to expand.
If your electrical panel is outdated, crowded, or showing signs of wear, we’ll replace it with a modern, properly labeled panel built for today’s loads. Our Lake Oswego electricians address grounding and bonding, install new breakers, tidy up circuit organization, and offer surge protection options where appropriate. We also handle panel relocation when access, clearance, or layout issues require it. Every upgrade includes an on-site evaluation and load calculations so the result is safe, code-compliant, and ready for future projects.
Hot tubs and saunas require careful planning for wet locations, high loads, and safe shutoff access. We install dedicated circuits sized to your equipment, add the right GFCI protection, and place a code-compliant disconnect where required. Bonding and grounding are verified end-to-end, and outdoor wiring is protected with the proper conduit, fittings, and weather-rated components. Whether it’s a backyard hot tub or indoor sauna in Lake Oswego, we finish with testing, labeling, and a clear walkthrough.
Charge at home, the fast and safe way. We perform load calculations, install a dedicated 240V circuit, and place your charger for practical cable reach with clean, professional routing. We can install a plug-in receptacle option or a hard-wired EVSE, and we’ll confirm the right breaker sizing, labeling, and startup testing before we leave. If your panel is at capacity, we’ll explain smart load options or the upgrade path. The goal is reliable, code-compliant charging that fits your daily routine.
From quick fixes to targeted upgrades, we help Lake Oswego homeowners improve safety, comfort, and everyday usability. We troubleshoot flickering lights and tripping breakers, add dedicated circuits for appliances and remodel needs, and upgrade outlets, switches, and lighting for better function and style. You’ll get clean workmanship, code-compliant installations, and straightforward recommendations so you can prioritize what matters most. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel or just need reliable power where you use it most, we make the process simple.
Protect your home during outages with a generator setup designed around what you want to keep running. We install code-compliant solutions, from portable generator interlocks or manual transfer switches to standby systems with load management. Our team sizes circuits correctly, labels your panel for safe operation, and coordinates the permitting and inspection steps when required. If gas coordination is needed, we’ll help align timing with the appropriate contractor. You’ll also get a clear startup walkthrough so your system is ready when you need it.
Lake Oswego businesses call us for dependable service work and clean, professional installations. We support offices, retail spaces, and light commercial properties with new circuits, lighting upgrades, panels, equipment hookups, and maintenance troubleshooting. If you need to reduce downtime, we can plan the work in phases and schedule around operating hours when feasible. Expect clear communication, documented results, and a tidy jobsite, so your team can stay focused on serving customers while we handle the electrical work.
