Local know-how

Electrical work in Portland — what to know

Permits come from Portland Permitting & Development

Panel replacements, service upgrades and new circuits — including the circuit for an EV charger — need an electrical permit from Portland Permitting & Development (formerly BDS). A panel or service change also gets a service inspection, and every permit closes with a final inspection. We pull the permit under our Oregon licenses and meet the inspector. More in our Portland permit guide.

PGE or Pacific Power — it depends on the street

Portland is split between two utilities. PGE serves most of Southwest, Southeast and Northwest Portland and much of North Portland; most of Northeast Portland is Pacific Power territory. A service upgrade needs the utility to disconnect and reconnect your power, so we schedule it with whichever one serves your address.

Doing it yourself has limits here

The City lets homeowners do their own electrical work only in a house they own and live in — not in a rental, a home being sold, an ADU, or a house held by an LLC. Everything else needs a licensed electrical contractor. Details: can a homeowner do electrical work in Oregon?

Great experience with these guys! They did all the electrical work in my kitchen, including the lighting and outlets. Everything was done professionally, neatly, and with great attention to detail. The work turned out great, and I'm very happy with the result. Highly recommend!

Portland electrical FAQ

01Do I need a permit to replace my electrical panel in Portland?
Yes. Replacing a panel or upgrading the service in Portland needs an electrical permit from Portland Permitting & Development, a service inspection and a final inspection. The permit and inspection are part of our price — see panel upgrades.
02How much does a panel upgrade cost in Portland?
Our customers across Portland and Clark County paid $2,500–$3,500 for a 100A → 200A service upgrade, permit and inspection included, based on our own paid invoices. Your exact number comes in writing after a free visit.
03Which utility will you coordinate with — PGE or Pacific Power?
Whichever serves your address. Most of Southwest, Southeast and Northwest Portland is PGE; most of Northeast Portland is Pacific Power. We book the disconnect and reconnect with them as part of the job.
