"I highly recommend Paragon Electric. Clint, the owner, was very responsive with calls and texts prior to the service call, and was thorough and knowledgeable. He explained his analysis of the electrical problem beautifully, answered questions and utilized his time well within the service call period, which included a run to a local store for an atypical breaker. Thanks Clint!"

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!

"Although a little slow to respond to messages at times, Merril Electric usually responded to phone calls promptly. We hired them to install an outlet about 5 feet above an existing one and added in a conduit for passing wires easily behind the wall. The electrician was quick and did not do any damage to the existing drywall. We'd definitely hire them again for future electrical needs."

"I needed an electrician immediately when all the light switches in my bathroom quit working, and I had house guests. He was able to come right away, efficiently located the problem (fortunately simple), and fix it. He was courteous and efficient. I will definitely call him again when I need electrical work.

I called at 9am and they had a man, Tyson, available.  By 11am he was out and within minutes he had diagnosed the problem.  Cut it out and reconnected the wires securely.  He was familiar with the old wiring, knew how to deal with the old fixture, and I didn't have to purchase a new fixture.  No parts involved.  The previous company I called said I would have to purchase an upgraded fixture and have it available before they would even come out. Tyson saved me a lot of personal time and effort and was well worth the minimum $85 service call.  The other company was $105 for the first hour of diagnosis.

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