Electrical Services in Lake Oswego

Service Upgrade

(Meter, Mast & Utility Coordination)

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.

Panel Upgrades & Replacements

If your electrical panel is outdated, crowded, or showing signs of wear, we’ll replace it with a modern, properly labeled panel built for today’s loads.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.

  • 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; helpful when planning simultaneous EV, spa, and workshop loads.
  • 400A Panel: For large residences with heavy HVAC, multiple EVs, and specialty equipment; supports sub-panels and long-term expansion.

Sauna & Hot Tub Electrical

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.

Electric Vehicle Charger Installation

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.

  • 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.

Lake Oswego 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.

For any other questions or to schedule an upgrade consultation, contact Portland Metro Electric. We’re here to ensure your electrical system is safe, efficient, and tailored to your needs.
