"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!"

The experienced electricians of Mr. Electric of Portland specialize in providing residential and commercial electrical service and repair. Whether you need a simple home repair or have a more detailed commercial project reserved for an expert electrical contractor, we can help.

Having served this community for many years as quality electrical contractors, we have come to understand the needs of customers for quality and experienced electrical repair services for both residential and commercial.

"The main reason I hired an electrician to run electric to a backyard shed is that I didn't want to dig the trench, and I wanted it inspected, so I wanted it done right the first time so that the process didn't drag on. The quality of the install and parts seemed ok, and they worked around an unforeseen block of concrete underground. Which was above and beyond. If the inspector had come out right away, and everything put back, it probably would have been fine. But the inspector (and Mr. electric) kept canceling and rescheduling appts. When he finally came out, we failed the inspection because the panel was only secured on one side. Mr Electric came out and secured the other side, but by doing so, the outside conduit got pushed away from the building, so now the pipe is curved and I had to add filler foam to keep the rain from coming inside. Then, when someone finally came out to fill in the trench, it had been a week and a half by this point and the rain had made a mess of the pile of dirt on the grass. I was left with sections of the trench that were too high AND other areas too low, and left-over dirt everywhere. I have spent considerable time trying to get my lawn back to some state of uniformity, but its still a mess. I would have thought they would have put down a tarp to put the dug-out grass and dirt on so that it could be put back easliy. And then, I would have expected the replaced dirt and grass to at least be even. I know this review is almost entirely about the inspector and their groundskeeping skills, but if you are running electric outside the main house, you'd have to be skilled in all the above."

We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We are experts in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular task or project. We look forward to earning your business!

"We recently moved into a home wired with Ethernet cables and needed help getting everything working as it should. There wasnâ t proper labeling in place from original install and wall jacks werenâ t functional so we decided to give Fish Cat a call based on a referral. We work from home and on the computer all day so having everything hard wired is of major benefit. Fish Cat was able to fix the infrastructure issues with cabling and wall jacks and went above and beyond to make sure our specific workstations were up and running cleanly with new cable to wall. We had a great experience and found Fish Cat to be easy to work with."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Portland, OR

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.
