Trusted Electrician
in Battle Ground, WA

Battle Ground sits right where suburban Clark County turns rural, and the panels show it. Newer subdivisions off SR-503 came with 200 amps. A 1970s ranch on five acres outside town still has its original 100-amp service, and some of the older farmhouses around Meadow Glade and Cherry Grove still run on fuses.

Those older services are overhead, so a panel upgrade out here can mean a new mast and meter base too. We coordinate the disconnect with Clark Public Utilities, pull the L&I permit (Battle Ground doesn't run its own electrical inspections), and set the outdoor emergency disconnect the 2023 NEC now requires on a new service.

Ryan reviews every panel job before the crew starts. Every other circuit on the property depends on it.

Rural Battle Ground loses power longer than town does. Trees come down across lines on the back roads, and in a bad ice storm the last repairs on a long rural feeder can take days. If you're on a well, an outage means no water either.

A whole-home standby generator with an automatic transfer switch starts itself and carries the well pump, furnace and fridge without anyone walking outside. A portable generator with an inlet box and an interlock kit on the panel costs far less and still keeps the essentials running, as long as you're home to start it.

We size the generator to what you actually need to run, handle the transfer equipment and the permit, and never wire it so it can backfeed the utility line.

A service call is $225 for the first hour, and that hour covers the diagnosis and whatever repair fits inside it. We test until we find the cause instead of swapping parts.

• Dead shop or barn: an underground feeder damaged by moisture, rodents or a post-hole digger
• Breaker won't reset: a short, an overload, or a worn breaker
• Well pump problems: pressure switch, control box, or the circuit feeding it
• Lights dim when something starts: loose connections or a failing neutral
• Outdoor outlets dead: a tripped GFCI hiding in the garage or bathroom
• Warm outlet or burning smell: shut off the breaker and call us now

Roughly a third of our Battle Ground jobs are for businesses, builders and property owners, from shops along Main Street to agricultural buildings outside town. We handle tenant buildouts, equipment circuits, exterior and parking lighting, and service work, and we pull the commercial permit through L&I.
