Frequently Asked Questions
Which electric utility serves Sunnyslope in Salem?
Portland General Electric (PGE) serves the Sunnyslope area in South Salem. Knowing the serving utility matters for meter-base work, service upgrades, and any disconnect/reconnect — we coordinate that with the utility for you.
Who issues electrical permits for Sunnyslope?
Inside Salem city limits, electrical permits are issued by the City of Salem Permit Application Center; we pull the permit and schedule the inspection. Permit and inspection fees are itemized in your written estimate before any work begins.
Do you cover the South Salem and Croisan Creek area too?
Yes. Sunnyslope is adjacent to South Salem, Croisan Creek, Liberty, and we work all of these neighborhoods regularly out of our Salem shop.
How much does Level 2 EV charger installation cost in Sunnyslope?
Most Sunnyslope-area hardwired Level 2 installs fall between $900 and $2,200. Longer cable runs, finished-wall fishing, or a panel upgrade add cost. We give a written estimate before any work.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Often no — a 100A or 200A panel with available capacity can support a 40A or 50A charger circuit. We perform a load calculation; if capacity is tight, we'll quote a load-management device or a panel upgrade.
Hardwired vs NEMA 14-50 — which should I pick?
Hardwired is required above 50A and is generally cleaner and code-preferred. NEMA 14-50 is fine for 40A chargers and lets you unplug the unit if you move.
Do EV charger installs need a permit in Oregon?
Yes. Oregon BCD requires an electrical permit and inspection for new 240V EV charger circuits. We handle permitting and inspection.
