What our customers say
The electrician was not scheduled by our contractor and we received a recommendation for Post Electric. We requested service on a Friday for the coming Monday and they were able to accommodate our need. The electricians were professional, protected our home from dust and cutting the existing drywall, and worked with our contractor for the best solution. Phenomenal service from the owner to the crew! Will call them again when service is needed!
Post Electric was great to work with. Did a great job, did what they promised and was reasonably priced. I really appreciated how they shared with me what they were doing through each step of the process. I had an upgraded service installed and a panel upgrade.

Portland electrician FAQs
What Portland homeowners ask us most. Still have a question? Call or text us.
You're based in Washington. Do you work in Portland?
Yes. Post Electric Company is licensed in Oregon, CCB #250544, bonded and insured, and works in Portland and across the metro, including Gresham, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie and Oregon City.
How do I get a price for my project?
Tell us what you need and send a few photos, like your panel and the spot where the work will go. Many jobs can be priced from photos. For bigger projects, like rewiring or service upgrades, we'll set up a time to come out and look.
My older Portland home has knob-and-tube wiring. Can you replace it?
Yes. We replace knob-and-tube with new, grounded wiring, room by room or the whole house at once. We don't repair or add on to knob-and-tube. Knob-and-tube has no ground, and many insurance companies won't cover homes that still have it in use.
Can my older home handle an EV charger or heat pump?
Often, yes. We look at your panel size and what your home already runs. Some homes have room as-is, some can use a load-management device, and some need a panel or service upgrade first. A photo of your panel is usually enough for us to tell you which.
