"I have nothing but praiseworthy things to say about RK Electric, they initially did a full re-wire for me in 2018 and they did an fabulous job. Nothing has changed in 4 years, had a faulty GFI, Carol tried to talk me through it but it needed hands on. The gentlemen came at 9:00 am on the spot, explained what needed to be done, changed GFI to a dedicated plug for new freezer, they were courteous and professional. Thank you RK for being upright and honest company, Carol you are a Gem!!!"

"They had to run another outlet to the kitchen, upgrade the electrical panel, as well as repair/install a new fan in the bathroom. They arrived promptly at noon, and were done by 3pm.Everything works well now, and didn't leave a mess behind. The only thing they couldn't repair was the range hood; I'll have to call another contractor for that. But I definitely got my money's worth, Excellent work!"

"Upgrading 1924 built home electrical system. Abandoned and replaced antiquated fuse box panel: extended circuits to and updated existing breaker panel. In selecting Woodline Electrical, I was so fortunate that Brandon Neustel was selected to handle my project. Project scheduling was for 7am-4pm. On that date scheduled, Brandon and Joseph pulled up within a minute and was completed around 1-ish!!! Upon reading past project reviews, â Brandon Neustelâ was nearly exclusively called out for his knowledge, transparency and his professionalism! For any future electrical projects, Brandon will be my #1 choice and recommendation! His assistant technician , Joseph ???(understudy) was also most pleasant. Hopefully, he will utilize some of Brandonâ s professional influences for his career!!!"

"I had such a great experience with Adam. He took so much care to learn about the issue I was having and to investigate how my old (1980) house is wired so that he could find the most cost effective solution for me. Because he took the time to ask all the questions and understand the existing electrical in place, he was able to save me tons of money while also giving me peace of mind for the future life of my panel. I would highly recommend Adam to any homeowner having weird electrical issues."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Portland, 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.
