"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."

"Tom installed a new panel upgrade and a transfer switch for our generator. Big Job. He did not cut any corners! The wiring is buttoned up and organized. The labeling is clear. Tom left us prepared for future installations and made sure we knew what to expect if/when we need the transfer switch. Very friendly and informative. Competitive pricing. Proactive communication."

"I had hired these guys before with a good experience, so I gave it another shot. I know a little too much for my own good, so I had a few questions before the job was done regarding supplies that I needed. I wanted to buy my own materials because I'm nuts. They had no problem with this and told me exactly what kind of wire to buy via text message. Mike was sent over and I explained everything. He needed to fish a lot of wire down under the kitchen floor to the laundry room and then under the finished basement ceiling about 25 feet to the breaker. This guy can fish wire like a boss. He only had to cut 2 holes in my ceiling. I think I'm just going to cover them with access panels for the next time wire needs to be run to the breaker. I like Murphy because everything is easy. I can just book a block of time with fairly transparent pricing and they come by and knock it out. And - they don't give you any problems about having your own materials so an intermediate DIY'er like me can get some specific stuff."

"Lucky for us Brandon was the first to respond. Turned out we needed a completely new electrical panel for our 1950's house to allow us to install a new range. He was informative, knowledgeable and spelled out options and time frame. Plus encouraged us to get bids (what company voluntarily does that?). It was a no brainer. On time, great communication, more than fair pricing, and complete confidence in the excellent work done. This company is the real deal. You can't do better."

"Originally I was planning to only have the HVAC disconnect updated and the outside and inside receptacles repaired, but did not know which electric company to use. After searching Angie's List for a highly rated company, I chose RK Electric. Made a phone call to RK Electric and described work to Carol, and at her request, followed up with pictures of the old HVAC disconnect, outside receptacle, and inside breaker panel. Carol called back the next day and let me know the old breaker panel was a brand that was notorious for malfunctions and could start a house fire. I agreed to have it replaced and scheduled the work. RK Electric sent out two excellent technicians, Hardy and Uriel, in order to finish the work in one day at my request. (We have a special needs daughter we had to plan ahead for the time the electricity would be off. Carol, Hardy, and Uriel were all very understanding and put forth their best efforts to accommodate us.) Hardy called about 20 to 30 minutes ahead of arrival so we could be prepared. Hardy and Uriel arrived on time and were always pleasant and professional. They were also very patient to answer any of my questions. Uriel repaired the outside/inside receptacles, as well as, remounting the outside receptacle making it a solid mount; replaced the HVAC disconnect panel; installed the door bell and door bell button. Uriel cleaned up the mess and kindly reviewed his work to make sure we were satisfied. Hardy installed the inside breaker panel, and while doing this had to disassemble another breaker panel and a junction block on the opposite side of the wall in the garage. He went the extra mile to tight loose connections in the garage panel. The work took longer than expected due to extra work to align the garage panel feed with the inside breaker panels. Hardy worked until 8:30 PM to finish his excellent work. Once the panel work was completed he did a great job of cleaning up the mess. I will definitely hire RK Electric again and will recommend them to anyone looking for quality electrical work."

"We had Roman and crew put in the wiring for a hot tub. They were punctual, easy to talk with, answered all of our questions, did great work, and did it all in a timely manner. Their prices were competitive and I would use them for any other electrical needs."

"Excellent. John set to work right away. He worked very fast and was very knowledgeable. He determined a baseboard heater needed replacement and gave options to choose. He had a very complex task with a porch light the had no power only to find the circuit was dead and found a light fixture that was miswired and had burned the insulation off the wire. He repaired it . finding the problem required getting into the attic crawl space to trace where the wires went. I was grateful he found and fixed it as it was dangerous."

"I recently hired Sylvania Electric for an electrical project that included changing out my electric panel, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They were professional, efficient, and completed the job with great attention to detail. The crew showed up on time, explained the process clearly, and made sure everything was done safely and up to code. The new panel looks great and gives me peace of mind knowing the work was done right. I would definitely recommend Sylvania Electric to anyone looking for quality electrical work."

"This was the second time we used them. Thank you for your quick response with bid and follow through. I would recommend Wilson River Electric for all electric needs. They came up replaced inside panel, added panel outside for RV and generator plug. I found them to be professional and liked their small town feel."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hillsboro, OR

While homeowners with substantial electrical knowledge might technically attempt a subpanel installation, most local building departments require permits and inspections for this type of work. Professional electricians understand local code requirements, can obtain necessary permits, and ensure the installation meets safety standards. Given the significant safety risks associated with incorrect electrical work, most homeowners benefit from hiring a licensed professional.

A standard subpanel installation takes an average of four to eight hours. This timeframe may extend if you're installing multiple subpanels or adding specialized circuits like those for spa equipment. Factors such as difficult access points, complex wiring paths, or permit processing times can also affect the overall project duration.

Adding a subpanel doesn't directly reduce electricity consumption or lower your utility bills. A subpanel simply redistributes power from your main panel to additional circuits. However, organizing your electrical system more efficiently may help prevent overloaded circuits and the associated problems. For actual cost savings, consider energy-efficient appliances and lighting instead.

The appropriate subpanel size depends on your specific electrical requirements. Consider the number and type of devices you'll be powering, potential future needs, and the capacity of your main electrical panel. An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the most suitable amperage rating for your situation, ensuring you have adequate power without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

A main electrical panel connects directly to your utility's power supply and contains your home's primary service disconnect. It distributes electricity throughout your entire house. A subpanel, by contrast, receives power from the main panel and redistributes it to a specific area of your home. Think of the main panel as the primary distribution point and the subpanel as a secondary branch that extends your electrical system's reach.

While electrical upgrades aren't as immediately visible as kitchen or bathroom renovations, they can contribute to your home's functionality and safety. Prospective buyers often appreciate updated electrical systems that can accommodate modern power demands. A properly installed subpanel that provides additional capacity for workshops, home offices, or future expansions could be an attractive feature for certain buyers, though the direct impact on home value varies by market.
