Electrical Repair & Troubleshooting

September 2026

A Sunnyside home in Clackamas lost power, and the homeowner called us late in the day. We fit them in that evening, found the fault at the panel and got the power back on before we left. Getting power back to a house is a same-day priority for us.

Was Your Clackamas Panel Sized Before EV Chargers and Heat Pumps?

Most homes here went up in the 1980s and 1990s — panels sized before EV chargers and heat pumps arrived.

The Clackamas area (ZIP 97015) is unincorporated county land, not a city. Of its 9,578 homes, 55.2% came in two waves of subdivisions: 1,802 in the 1980s and 3,481 in the 1990s. Only 501 predate 1960, so knob-and-tube is uncommon. I-205 runs through the area, as do 82nd Ave, Hwy 212 and Hwy 224.

A house from 1985 or 1995 has modern wiring and a panel sized for the loads of its day. Now that panel is asked to carry a heat pump, an EV charger or a hot tub as well. So the work starts at the panel: service size, free breaker spaces, then a circuit, a subpanel or a larger service. We pull the permit as part of the job.

FAQ — Local Homes

Why does my outlet feel warm when nothing is plugged in?
Usually a loose connection or an overloaded circuit behind it. Stop using that outlet and call us. In a Clackamas house from the 1970s, we also check for aluminum branch wiring.
Can a 1990s house take a heat pump without a new panel?
Sometimes. A heat pump needs its own circuit, so it comes down to service size and free breaker spaces. Add an EV charger and a subpanel or larger service may follow.
What if our house is one of the few built before 1940?
About 255 homes here predate 1940, the knob-and-tube era. In one of those, we check what is behind the walls before adding circuits or insulation.
Should an EV charger go on the main panel or a subpanel?
It depends on what the main panel already carries. If the load calculation leaves room, the main panel; if not, a subpanel or larger service first.
Our house is from the 1980s. Is the panel due for a look?
It is if you're adding anything big. Nearly one in five homes here dates from the 1980s, with panels sized for the loads of that decade. A heat pump, EV charger or hot tub is usually what tips them over, so we check the panel and service before you buy the equipment.
Is Clackamas a city, or does the county handle inspections?
It is unincorporated, so Clackamas County's Building Codes Division covers building work of every type here, electrical included. Its office is at 150 Beavercreek Rd in Oregon City, and we book the inspection.
