The EV install bundle homeowners actually want

A charger on the wall is only part of it. You need a dedicated circuit, correct breaker sizing, clean routing, permitting, and documentation for PGE Smart Charging, Pacific Power rebates, or federal credits—without surprises.

Load + panel reality check

We verify service size, breaker space, and continuous-load requirements before we quote—not after we’re in your panel.

Permits & inspections

Portland residential electrical permits and inspection scheduling handled as part of the project, with clear communication.

Rebate-ready docs

Photo documentation and invoice detail formatted to support utility rebate submissions and your tax pro’s questions.

Risk reversal

Written estimate first. If scope must change for code or inspector requirements, you approve before we continue.

Why Portland homeowners choose us over “any electrician”

  • Local permit fluency — We explain when a Level 2 install triggers a residential electrical permit and what inspections typically involve.
  • Utility program awareness — PGE Smart Charging and Pacific Power rebates change; we install to qualified-equipment patterns and document for your filing.
  • Older-home honesty — Knob-and-tube pockets, aluminum branch wiring, and 100A services are common here—we don’t pretend every job is a quick NEMA install.
  • Pricing ranges, not bait-and-switch — See typical brackets on our EV charger page—then get a written number for your home.
