"I hired CBW electric to replace my electrical panel and upgrade my service to a 200amp service, mainly bc I have a wood shop and. I just had a new central a/c system installed which required a new panel. Charles did an excellent job for me. I had 1 little issue but that turned out to be my appliances issue and NOT the new electrical equipment. When I did call he was very quick about solving it for me. I will definitely will be hiring CBW again and I referred him to 2 of my neighbors in need of electrical help."

"He was able to save us money by evaluating our electric panel could be used for a new circuit without replacing the whole panel as we had been recommended in another bid."

"Mike is the business owner and the electrician so he will be the one doing the work or he may sub out some of the easier work or trenches, etc. He ran a line out from the panel on our house to an out-building and put a new panel and a number of circuits in the building and installed LED lights. He also added some light fixtures inside our house. I thought he did a very nice job and talked me through things that I did not understand. He was willing to work with me if there were things that I wanted to do myself. Communication was good--he kept me up-to-date on how things were going and what his schedule was. He was working on other projects at the same time, so we talked about when it would work for him to be working on my project and when he would be on other projects and what my timeline was. The panel, trench, circuits, and outlets all look great. I will work with him again if I need more work done."

Customers say: Terrific value

"We are renovating a former rental, and while replacing the electrical outlets and switches lost power to half the house.  We had used JM3 before and had a good experience, so we called late in the afternoon on a Thursday and made an appointment for 8:30 Monday morning. The technician rang the doorbell at 8:31. He quickly got to work checking all of the outlets and switches - whether we had changed them out or not. He madeaking corrections as he went. He even identified problems in places we hadn't worked on yet!

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Forest Grove, OR

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
