A safer panel for Oregon City
Your electrical panel decides what your Oregon City home can safely run. When it is old, full, or flagged by an insurer, replacing it is the fix. We replace the panel and raise the service capacity if your plans call for it. Many homes go to a 200-amp service, and we size it to your house and what you plan to add.
How to tell your panel needs help
- Rust, corrosion, or burn marks: signs of moisture or overheating.
- Frequent breaker trips: the panel is overloaded.
- Flickering or dimming lights: especially when a big appliance starts.
- A fuse box: it lacks the protection of a modern breaker panel.
- Odd sounds or smells: buzzing, crackling, or burning means call an electrician now.
FPE, Zinsco, and insurance
Across Oregon City, insurance companies look at the panel brand. FPE and Zinsco are known fire risks, and a new panel resolves the flag. The brand is printed on the panel label. If it reads FPE, Federal Pacific, or Zinsco, we will confirm it and quote the swap.
Our insurance panel upgrade page explains the process.

Three common jobs
Three panel jobs come up most often for Oregon City homeowners.
Panel replacement
The old panel comes out and a new breaker panel goes in, sized to what your home needs.
Replacing a fuse box
We convert fuse boxes to breaker panels, giving you modern protection and room to grow.
More amps for the house
Many older homes were built with 60 or 100 amp service, which can fall short today. Moving to 200 amps is a common upgrade for homes adding an EV charger or solar.
What the upgrade looks like
In Oregon City, a panel upgrade runs in four steps: consultation and design, permitting, installation, then activation and support.
- Consultation and design: we review the panel brand, size, and what you may add later.
- Permitting and paperwork: we pull the Oregon permit.
- Installation: in-house licensed electricians do the replacement.
- Activation and support: we energize, label, and check the new panel, then stay available.
The permit is required and is handled by us.
