Frequently Asked Questions
Which electric utility serves Northeast Salem in Salem?
Portland General Electric (PGE) is the primary utility for Northeast 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 Northeast Salem?
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 Lansing and Northgate area too?
Yes. Northeast Salem is adjacent to Lansing, Northgate, Four Corners (adjacent), and we work all of these neighborhoods regularly out of our Salem shop.
How often do smoke alarms need to be replaced in Northeast Salem?
Every smoke alarm (hardwired or battery) must be replaced 10 years after its manufacture date. Combination smoke/CO units are typically 7–10 years. We check the date on each unit and quote a full retrofit when appropriate.
Does Oregon require carbon monoxide alarms?
Yes. Oregon requires CO alarms in any dwelling with a fuel-burning appliance (gas furnace, gas water heater, gas fireplace, gas range) or an attached garage. We install combination smoke/CO units in the required locations.
What does interconnected mean and why does it matter?
Interconnected alarms all sound when any one detects smoke or CO — critical for waking sleeping occupants on a different level. We run a 3-wire interconnect between hardwired units or use code-listed wireless interconnect modules.
Where are alarms required?
Inside every sleeping room, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home including basements. We confirm placement during the walk-through.
