Oregon City Electricians

Historic homes, modern loads

Older Oregon City homes

Many homes in McLoughlin, Canemah and the older parts of downtown were built long before today’s electrical loads. Adding a heat pump, EV charger, hot tub or kitchen remodel often means the panel or service needs an upgrade first.

We start with an inspection, explain what we find in plain terms, and give a clear written quote. Because our Master Electrician is also a private electrical inspector, the work is done the way the inspector expects to see it.

What we often find

• Undersized electrical services
• Outdated or recalled breaker panels, like Zinsco
• Ungrounded outlets
• Knob-and-tube wiring
• Panels that need an upgrade before a heat pump, EV charger or hot tub

Standby generators

Winter wind and ice storms knock out power across Clackamas County, and homes on the hills and wooded streets are often the last to come back. We size and install standby generators so your heat, well pump, fridge and medical equipment keep running.

• Authorized Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton and Champion dealer; Honeywell installs
• Automatic and manual transfer switches and interlocks
• Portable generator hookups
• Battery backup such as EcoFlow
• Natural gas or propane

For ongoing maintenance, we can refer you to trusted local service partners.

EV chargers

Level 2 chargers, hardwired or plug-in. We check your panel capacity first so the new load doesn’t trip breakers.

• Tesla, ChargePoint, Autel, Grizzl-E, Emporia, Bosch and more
• 240V NEMA 14-50 outlets
• Panel upgrades, sub-panels or load-managing chargers
• Workplace, multifamily and fleet charging

Troubleshooting & repairs

We track down the cause and fix it safely, and explain what we find before any work starts.

• Breakers that keep tripping
• Outlets or lights that stop working
• Flickering lights
• Buzzing or warm switches
• Worn connections and overloaded circuits in older homes

Remodels & new circuits

We check your panel capacity before adding new load.

• Lighting and remodel wiring for kitchens and additions
• New circuits for kitchens, shops and additions

Commercial & industrial

Restaurants, clinics, offices and warehouses. Oregon City restaurants we’ve wired include El Papalote, New Hing’s Restaurant and Ruby’s Pub & Grill.

• Troubleshooting and repairs
• Electrical service
• Breaker panels
• Tenant improvements

Permits & inspections

We pull the required electrical permit and schedule the inspection. You don’t have to deal with the paperwork.

• Oregon CCB #162893
• Licensed, bonded and insured

“Phenomenal service and care. Exactly what you need for eletric work. Had eletric pannel failure? They came as soon as possable and rectified the pannel along with working with PGe. New pannel install was very swift and looks fantastic. Also hired John and Hunter for other amendments for the house from sockets to stunning light fixtures. Strongly recommend them should anyone need fancy electrical work, to panel fixes. Your in safe hand with pacific electric!”
