Q&A
My lights in Bend keep flickering, especially during windy days. What could be causing this, and can you fix it?
Flickering lights in our area are often linked to damaged underground service cables or loose connections at the main panel, issues we see regularly with Central Oregon's soil conditions and weather. As a local, family-owned company serving Bend since 1993, we start with a detailed electrical inspection to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's at the panel, in the wiring, or at the utility connection. We then provide a clear repair plan, which may involve panel repair, wire repair, or coordinating with the utility company, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and stable.
We're building a custom home in Central Oregon. What does your process for new electrical installation involve?
Wiring a custom home requires careful planning for both current needs and future growth. With over 30 years of experience in the region, our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your lifestyle and plans, including potential additions like an EV charging station. We handle all aspects, from the main panel installation and circuit breaker setup to outlet and light fixture placement, focusing on robust wire installation and clear labeling. Our attention to detail ensures the system is not only up to code but also organized and serviceable for decades, reflecting our commitment to quality that has defined our work since 1993.
My circuit breaker trips frequently. Is this a simple repair, or do I need a full panel upgrade?
Frequent tripping can stem from a faulty breaker, an overloaded circuit, or an outdated panel that can't handle modern electrical demands. Our licensed electricians will perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause. Often, a circuit breaker repair or replacement resolves the issue. However, if your panel is old or undersized—common in older Bend homes—we may recommend a panel upgrade to improve safety and capacity. We explain all findings and options clearly, so you can make an informed decision for a reliable and long-term solution.
