For residential and commercial electrical work alike, Tigard Electrical Company covers the full range: from a single dead outlet that needs tracing to a complete panel replacement ahead of a home renovation. We work across Tigard and the wider Washington County area, handling the everyday repairs that homeowners call about and the larger service upgrades that commercial properties need to stay operational. Every job starts with a clear scope and a price confirmed before anything is scheduled. Fast diagnosis. Pricing set out up front. Clean work.
Whether the problem showed up this morning or has been on the list for months, the process is the same: figure out what is happening, explain what the fix involves, and get it done to code.
Electrical problems rarely announce themselves at a convenient time. A breaker that trips every time the microwave runs, a set of outlets in the kitchen that stopped working, lights that flicker when the heat kicks on: these are exactly the kinds of calls we handle. Each one gets a proper look before any work is quoted, because the symptom and the cause are not always the same thing.
A visit covers a full diagnostic of the affected circuit or system. Where arc-fault or ground-fault protection is involved, we check whether the existing breakers or outlets are the right type for the location and load. Grounding and bonding issues, which often show up as mild shocks from outlets or appliances, get traced back to the source rather than patched at the surface. We carry out electrical service scheduled without the runaround, and the price for the repair is explained before the work begins, not after.
Call us and we'll walk you through the fix.
The electrical panel is where everything in a home or building connects back to the supply. When that panel is undersized, aging, or still running on fuses, it limits what the property can safely do. Homes in this area were wired in different decades, and it shows in the panels.
A 200-amp panel upgrade replaces an older service with one that can carry the load modern households put on it: multiple large appliances, EV chargers, home office equipment, and more. Where a property needs capacity in a separate area, a subpanel installation handles that without touching the main service entrance. We also carry out service-entrance and meter upgrades where the incoming supply itself needs updating, and load calculations are part of scoping any panel job so the replacement is sized correctly for what the property actually runs.
When you call, the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you are told exactly what the job covers.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, it is worth understanding what the wiring in an older home is actually doing. Knob-and-tube wiring, which was standard in homes built before the 1950s, was never designed to carry the loads a modern household puts through it. Aluminum wiring, common in homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, requires specific handling at every connection point to stay safe. Both situations call for a proper assessment and, in many cases, a rewiring plan that brings the home up to current standards.
Dedicated circuits matter for the same reason. A dryer, a range, a dishwasher, or a refrigerator each needs its own circuit to run without tripping breakers or sharing capacity with other loads. A 240-volt outlet for a dryer or a stove is a straightforward job when the panel has room. When it does not, the panel conversation comes first.
We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and the space is left clean when the job is done.
Your home deserves wiring that's safe and up to code, and the outlets and switches throughout it are where that shows up most often in daily use. GFCI outlets belong in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and anywhere near water. AFCI protection is required on most bedroom circuits in newer construction and is worth adding in older homes during any outlet or circuit work. USB outlets, weatherproof outdoor outlets, and tamper-resistant models are all straightforward upgrades that make a real difference in how a space functions.
On the lighting side, recessed LED fixtures, dimmer switches, exterior security lighting, and landscape lighting all fall within what we handle. Ceiling fan installation, including running new wiring where no existing box is in place, is a common job in Tigard homes that want better airflow without adding a window unit. Indoor and outdoor lighting work is quoted the same way as everything else: scope first, price confirmed, then scheduled.
Reach out and we'll start at the panel.
When the job is done, we leave your home clean and powered, and for the jobs in this section that means making sure the new load is properly supported from the panel out. A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and, depending on the panel's current capacity, may require an upgrade before the charger can be installed safely. We scope the panel before any work begins so the installation plan is clear before anything is scheduled.
Backup generator hookups cover the transfer switch installation and the wiring that connects the generator to the home's circuits. A properly installed transfer switch keeps the generator isolated from the utility line, which matters both for the equipment and for anyone working on the line outside. Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel and protects connected appliances and electronics from voltage spikes that come through the utility feed. Electrical safety inspections fit naturally alongside any of these jobs, and are worth scheduling on their own in older homes or before a property changes hands.
Know the price. Know the scope. Know what happens next.
Commercial electrical work runs on a different schedule than residential. A retail space, a warehouse, or an office building has operating hours to protect, and an electrical fault that takes a circuit down is not something that can wait until next week. We handle commercial panel upgrades, circuit installation, commercial wiring, outlet and lighting work, and code-compliant wiring for new buildouts and tenant improvements across Tigard and Washington County.
Property managers and business owners get the same process as any residential caller: the scope is explained on the call, the price is set before anyone is dispatched, and the work is carried out to the code that applies here. We are a straightforward choice for homeowners and property managers who need electrical work done without a long back-and-forth before the job even starts.
Dealing with a tripping breaker or a dead outlet? The first step is a call. When you reach us, the conversation covers what is happening, what the likely cause is, and what a visit to diagnose or repair it will cost. That price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you are told what it includes. There is no obligation to book before you have the information you need.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Urgent electrical faults, partial power loss, and situations where something has gone wrong and needs attention quickly are the kinds of calls we take during those hours. Ask what the schedule allows when you call and we will tell you what is open.
This area has its own wiring habits. The work is matched to them. Everything is left to code.

We serve Tigard as our primary area and take work throughout Washington County and the communities around it. That includes Beaverton, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, Sherwood, Durham, and King City, along with other neighborhoods and unincorporated areas in the county. If you are not sure whether your address falls within the service area, the quickest way to find out is to call.
Washington County has housing stock from several different decades, and the wiring reflects that. We see knob-and-tube runs, aluminum branch wiring, and two-wire circuits without a ground regularly in this area. That context shapes how we assess a job and what we recommend before any work is quoted.
Whether a permit is required depends on the scope of the job and the jurisdiction. When a permit is needed, we confirm that at the scoping stage so it is part of the plan from the start, not something that comes up after the work is done.
We explain what we found before any work begins, and we check in if something on site changes the scope. You are not left waiting to find out what happened. If the job runs longer than expected or turns up something additional, we have that conversation before proceeding.
When you call, someone who knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone takes your call. The work at your property is carried out locally, by someone familiar with what electrical systems in this area typically look like.
We work with homeowners, renters coordinating repairs with their landlords, property managers handling multiple units, and commercial tenants and business owners across Tigard and Washington County. The process is the same for all of them: scope and price on the call, work done to code, site left clean.
Clear access to the panel and the affected circuits is the biggest factor. Knowing in advance what the symptoms are and when they started also helps us scope the job accurately on the phone. We walk through that with you before the visit so the electrician arrives prepared.
Tigard Electrical Company is available every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Whether the job is a repair that needs diagnosing, a panel upgrade that has been on the list for a while, or a new EV charger circuit before a vehicle arrives, the process starts with a call. You get the scope and the price on the phone before anything is booked.
