"They did a good job on our installation of a security camera system. What they did very, very badly was create a quote that was way lower than what it actually ended up costing. Beware of this if you are considering using them! They will cover themselves by saying it?s a ?rough estimate? in order to capture your business?but in our experience, they certainly knew how far they were driving (Clackamas to Hillsboro)..yet the travel costs were roughly triple what was quoted. The original estimate to install a camera system that cost $1,500 was $1,850. I was a little shocked at the estimate..but it ended up being similar to the other quote that I received. The actual invoice came in a little over $2800! No warning that it was going to be way over..and they had an answer for everything?kinda like they?d done this before. Again, the work was good, but there is now way I?d ever use this outfit again or recommend them to anyone I know!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the incredible work done by Willamette Valley Electric! They rewired our entire house during a remodel and truly went above and beyond to ensure the job was completed on time—no small feat with a project this size. Their expertise really stood out when they added extra hookups for a generator and hot tub, which has made our home so much more functional and enjoyable. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail and proactive approach. They suggested adding under-cabinet lighting, which has completely transformed our kitchen. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the quality of their work and the satisfaction of their customers. If you’re looking for knowledgeable, efficient, and thoughtful electricians, look no further than Willamette Valley Electric. Highly recommend!"

A standard electrical meter riser replacement takes an average of two to three hours for the actual installation work, though the entire process may span a full day. This timeline includes coordination with your utility company for power disconnection and reconnection, the physical replacement work, and any required inspections. Weather conditions and permit processing can affect the schedule. Plan for a day without electrical service while the work is being completed.
The homeowner is responsible for maintaining and replacing the electrical meter riser and related components on their property. While your utility company owns and maintains the actual meter and the service lines leading to your home, everything on your side of the connection point—including the weatherhead, riser pipe, and meter base—falls under your responsibility. This division means that when damage occurs or upgrades are needed, the homeowner bears the cost of replacement.
Yes, your power must be disconnected during an electrical meter riser replacement. Since this work involves your home's main electrical service entrance, the utility company will need to disconnect power at the service drop before the electrician can safely begin work.
This outage lasts for several hours while the replacement is completed and inspected. Make appropriate arrangements for perishable food items and consider alternative accommodations if the weather is extreme.
If you're simply replacing a damaged meter riser without changing your electrical service capacity, you can often keep your existing panel. However, if you're upgrading from a lower amperage service to a higher one, you'll likely need to upgrade your electrical panel as well. Many electricians recommend evaluating your entire electrical service during riser replacement, as combining these projects can be more cost-effective than completing them separately.
