Frequently Asked Questions

Which electric utility serves South Salem in Salem?

Portland General Electric (PGE) serves nearly all of 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 South Salem?

Do you cover the Sunnyslope and Croisan Creek area too?

Yes. South Salem is adjacent to Sunnyslope, Croisan Creek, Faye Wright, Morningside, and we work all of these neighborhoods regularly out of our Salem shop.

How much does recessed lighting cost per can in South Salem?

South Salem-area retrofit LED cans typically run $125–$200 installed per fixture. New circuits, attic access, and fishing finished walls without an attic add cost.

Can you add dimmers and smart switches?

Yes. We install Lutron Caséta, Leviton Decora Smart, and standard 0–10V or ELV dimmers matched to your LED fixtures so they actually dim smoothly without flicker.

Do you install landscape lighting?

Yes. Path, tree, and architectural low-voltage landscape lighting with properly sized transformers and direct-burial wire — installed to last.

Will adding lighting need a permit?

Replacing a fixture on an existing circuit usually does not. New circuits, exterior lighting circuits, and additions/remodels do — we handle permits when required.
