FAQs

What's included in your electrical inspection service for a commercial building?

Our commercial electrical inspections are comprehensive evaluations designed for safety and compliance. We assess your entire system—from main panels and distribution to branch circuits and grounding—identifying any wear, code violations, or potential hazards. For educational and institutional clients, we pay special attention to life-safety systems, emergency lighting, and capacity for future technology upgrades. The inspection culminates in a detailed report with prioritized recommendations, which can serve as a roadmap for maintenance or form the basis for a design-build renovation project.

We're an Aurora school district planning a remodel. Can you handle the electrical design and installation?

Absolutely. Since 1986, a significant portion of our work has been dedicated to K-12 and higher education facilities throughout Oregon. We specialize in electrical design-build for educational projects, meaning we manage the entire process from the initial concept and planning through to the final installation. We understand the need to work within academic calendars and strict budgets. Our team is experienced in tenant remodels, classroom tech integrations, and campus-wide upgrades, ensuring minimal disruption to students and staff while delivering a safe, reliable, and future-ready electrical system.

Aurora has issues with rodents damaging wiring. How do you protect new installations from this?

This is a common and serious concern in our area. For new installations, especially in crawl spaces, attics, or underground, we proactively use rodent-deterrent materials and methods. This includes specifying wiring with bitter-tasting, non-toxic insulation coatings that pests avoid, using rigid metal conduit (RMC) or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) in vulnerable areas, and meticulously sealing all entry points into panels and junction boxes. For site lighting and underground cable projects, we employ direct-burial rated cables with robust jacketing and ensure proper trench depth and bedding to prevent damage from burrowing animals.
