FAQs
What kinds of electrical installations do you provide in Hillsboro?
We handle the full spectrum of residential, commercial, and light-industrial electrical installations. This includes service-panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, dedicated circuits for EV chargers and HVAC equipment, lighting design and retrofit, data/network cabling, surge protection, backup generator integration, and new-construction rough-in and trim-out. Because our team is local to Hillsboro, we are familiar with the city’s adoption of the Oregon Electrical Specialty Code, ensuring every installation meets or exceeds current standards.
Do I need a permit for my electrical project, and who takes care of it?
Most new installations, panel changes, and circuit extensions in Hillsboro require an electrical permit from the City of Hillsboro Building Department. As a licensed Oregon Electrical Contractor (CCB# provided on request), we secure all necessary permits and schedule inspections on your behalf. This streamlines the process, keeps the project compliant, and protects you from potential fines or insurance issues.
How long does a typical residential rewiring or panel upgrade take?
A complete panel upgrade (for example, from 100 A to 200 A) usually takes one full working day, including coordination with Portland General Electric for power shutoff and reconnection. Whole-home rewiring varies with house size and accessibility: a 1,500-sq-ft single-story home often takes 3–5 days, whereas a larger two-story home may require up to two weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after our on-site assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
Are your electricians licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every technician who enters your property holds a current Oregon General Journeyman or Limited Residential Electrician license. We carry $2 million in general liability insurance and full workers’ compensation coverage. All field staff pass a national background check, quarterly safety training, and ongoing continuing-education courses to stay current with code changes and emerging technologies.
What should I do to prepare my home or business for the installation?
Before our crew arrives, please clear a 3-foot area around the electrical panel and any work zones. Remove fragile items from walls and shelves near expected drilling locations. For commercial spaces, arrange access before business hours if noise could interrupt operations. We supply floor protection, dust containment, and clean-up at the end of each day; however, advance decluttering speeds the job and minimizes risk.
Do you offer warranties and post-installation support?
Absolutely. All labor is backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty, and materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 1–10 years depending on the component). If any issue related to our installation arises during the warranty period, we prioritize the service call at no charge. We also offer optional annual maintenance plans that include infrared panel scans, breaker torque checks, and surge-protection testing to keep your electrical system operating safely long after the initial install.
