Solving electrical issues
If there’s a power outage, PGE crews respond quickly to repair the lines.
Occasionally, though, the problem isn’t with the electrical lines running down your street or to your house — it’s at your house.
For instance, the meter base, the service mast — or conduit — above your electric meter, and the weatherhead at the top of the mast all belong to you, not PGE.
If any of this electrical equipment on your house is damaged, you’ll need to hire an electrical contractor to do the repair work.
For service you can trust, contact any of these PGE-certified electrical contractors. They’re available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and meet PGE’s high standards for quality. They also:
- Are licensed and bonded with the Oregon State Electrical Board
- Have no outstanding claims against them with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board or Better Business Bureau
- Agree to call you back within an hour
- Provide a minimum one-year, parts-and-labor guarantee
Be aware that most contractors charge different rates for work done after business hours, on weekends and on holidays. Be sure to ask about rates and how quickly they can respond to your repair.
