Electrical Solutions We Offer

Electrical work can vary in how complicated it can be. Some customers start with a single flickering fixture and discover that the real issue lives in the wiring behind it, so we look at the whole circuit before we recommend a fix. Portland homes keep adding heat pumps, EV chargers, and backup generators for the next ice storm, and our electricians size every circuit and panel for what you plan to add.

Here are the electrical services we offer for your home:

Sun Glow can quote any of these in writing after a short visit, and when a job involves permits, we handle them for you. Whatever is on your list, our licensed electricians can take it on, and you get a crew that knows your home's wiring from one project to the next. If you are not sure what you need, describe what is happening, and we will point you to the right fix.

Portland Electricians You Can Depend On

Sun Glow is a family-owned company that has served the Portland area for more than 50 years, and the electricians who show up at your door truly care about making sure your system is safely working. Every job gets the same care, from a dead outlet to a full rewire, because small shortcuts have a way of becoming big problems later.

Here is what stands behind every electrical job we take on:

Licensed, bonded, and insured – We hold Oregon CCB #48131 with full bonding and insurance, and our electricians serve Oregon homes across the Portland metro.
PGE Approved Contractor – PGE approves our work, which helps when a heat pump upgrade needs the electrical side coordinated with the utility.
Permits and inspections handled – We pull the permits and schedule the inspections, so your upgrade is on record and ready for the day you sell the house.
Upfront pricing in writing – You see the scope and the price before work begins, and financing is available when a larger project stretches your budget.
24/7 emergency response – A sparking outlet or a dead panel gets an electrician on the way day or night.
Clean, careful job sites – We cover your floors and protect your walls, and we haul away old wire and packaging when we finish.

If you want a local team that treats your home with care and explains every step in language you can follow, you have found it. We take pride in electrical work that passes inspection on the first visit and keeps passing for decades, and we back it with warranties. Call us with your electrical problem, and we will make the whole experience smooth.

Electrical FAQs for Portland Homes

Electrical questions tend to show up after dark, with a tripped breaker and a flashlight that is somewhere in the garage. Sun Glow keeps the answers below rooted in how Portland homes are built, from 1920s bungalows to new ADUs. If your situation does not match any of them, call us, and we will talk it through.

Does My Older Portland Home Need a Panel Upgrade for a Heat Pump?

Many bungalows were wired with 60-amp or 100-amp service, and a heat pump adds a large new load on top of the range and the dryer. A load calculation shows whether your panel has room or needs a 200-amp upgrade. We run that calculation before we quote, and we pull the permit and coordinate the utility connection if you need the upgrade.

Do I Need an Electrical Permit in Portland?

Panel work and rewiring need a permit and an inspection in most cases, and the requirements come from your city or the state. We handle the permit and the inspection as part of the job, so you do not have to find out which office to call. That record protects you when you sell the house or file an insurance claim.

How Do I Know If My Home Has Old or Unsafe Wiring?

Homes built before the 1960s can carry wiring that has outlived its safe service life, including knob-and-tube in houses built before 1950 and aluminum branch wiring in some 1960s and 70s homes. Two-prong outlets and breakers that trip over and over are the classic warning signs, and warm switch plates or a burning smell near a panel call for an immediate visit. Our safety inspection tells you what you have and what to fix first.

Can I Run My Home on a Generator During an Ice Storm?

A whole house generator with a transfer switch can run your furnace and refrigerator through a winter ice storm. A portable generator plugged into a wall outlet can send power back onto the lines and put utility crews at risk. Our electricians install the transfer switch and size the generator to your panel.

Can My Home Handle an EV Charger?

A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and many older panels have no spare capacity for one. We check your panel's load and install the circuit and the charger, and we upgrade the panel when it needs more room. Ask us about PGE and state incentives that may apply to your charger.
