FAQs

What types of electrical repairs do you handle in McMinnville?

Our technicians can troubleshoot and repair virtually any residential or light-commercial electrical issue in McMinnville. Common requests include breaker or fuse replacement, outlet and switch repairs, lighting fixture or ceiling-fan wiring, GFCI/AFCI protection upgrades, panel and service-entrance repairs, whole-home surge protection, and code-violation corrections. If you are unsure whether we service a particular problem, just give us a call and we’ll provide a quick, honest assessment.

How fast can you respond to an electrical emergency?

We maintain a 24/7 emergency dispatch line. For calls within McMinnville city limits we can typically have a licensed electrician on-site within 60–90 minutes, often sooner. After-hours and weekend crews carry fully stocked service vans so most hazards—such as smoking outlets, partial power loss, or storm damage—can be made safe in one visit.

Are your electricians licensed and insured in Oregon?

Yes. Every field technician holds an Oregon General Journeyman (J) or Limited Residential (LR) license, carries an Oregon Electrical Worker’s permit, and completes regular continuing-education courses on the latest NEC code updates. Our company is fully bonded and insured for both liability and workers’ compensation, giving you complete peace of mind during repairs.

What are common signs that I need electrical repair?

Call us if you notice flickering or dimming lights, breakers that trip repeatedly, warm or discolored outlets, buzzing sounds from panels or switches, a burning smell, sparks when plugging in devices, or any unexplained rise in your electric bill. These symptoms can indicate overloaded circuits, loose connections, or deteriorating wiring—issues that should be addressed promptly to avoid fire or electrocution hazards.

How much does an electrical repair typically cost?

Pricing depends on the complexity of the problem, parts required, and the time needed to complete the work. Simple outlet or switch replacements start around $120, while breaker replacements or minor wiring corrections average $200–$400. Larger jobs such as panel repairs, sub-panel installs, or whole-home rewiring are quoted after an on-site evaluation. We provide upfront, flat-rate estimates before any work begins so there are no surprises.

Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on repair work?

Absolutely. All labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty, and we honor the manufacturer’s warranty on any parts we install. If a repair we performed fails within that period due to workmanship, we will return, diagnose, and fix the issue at no additional cost. We also offer optional maintenance plans that include annual safety inspections and priority scheduling for added protection.
