Electrical Work on Beaverton's Subdivisions
ATR Electric is a licensed electrical contractor covering Beaverton and the west side, where most of the housing went up between the late forties and the nineties. Cedar Hills was announced in 1946 and the building never really stopped, which means the panel in the garage was sized for a house nobody expected to run a charger, a heat pump and an induction range off. Anthony Riddick walks every job and prices it himself before anything is booked.
What the Panel Has
- 100 amp services with no space
- Subpanels added over the years
- Federal Pacific and Zinsco boxes
What It Can Add
- A load calculation, not a guess
- 100 to 200 amp service changes
- Circuits sized for a charger
The question in Beaverton is nearly always addition rather than repair. A charger in the garage, a remodelled kitchen with an induction range, a heat pump replacing the furnace, all of them landing on a panel that was full before any of it was proposed. Working out whether the service can carry the load is a calculation, not an opinion, and you get the answer before you get a price.
Our Services
Electrical Services in Beaverton
Beaverton housing from the late forties on, where nearly every job starts by working out what the existing service can still carry.
Permits & Inspection
Beaverton Permits Its Own, the County the Rest
Four of the neighborhoods people call Beaverton are not in Beaverton. That is not a technicality on your paperwork, it is the difference between two permit offices.
- 01
Inside Beaverton itself
Beaverton reviews and issues the electrical permit through its own Building Division and sends its own inspector. ATR Electric pulls it under its license before anything starts.
- 02
Cedar Hills and the rest
Cedar Hills, Raleigh Hills, West Slope and Garden Home are unincorporated, so Washington County issues and inspects those. The mailing address says Beaverton either way.
- 03
Why it is still split
The four were due to join Beaverton by 2010. That agreement collapsed in the fight over annexing Nike, and a 2005 state law froze the question for decades.
Why ATR Electric
A Licensed Electrical Contractor in Beaverton
Capacity Before Anything
Nothing here gets quoted until the existing service is measured against what the finished house will actually be drawing.
Licensed in Two States
Licensed, bonded and insured in Oregon and in Washington, so exactly the same cover applies on either side of the river.
Permits Pulled for You
Some cities inspect their own electrical work and others hand it to the county. Either way the permit gets pulled first.
Priced Before It Starts
A written scope and a number, both agreed before the first screw comes out. Estimates on planned work are always free.
Anthony on Every Job
It is three electricians now, and Anthony still walks and prices every single job himself, right through to inspection.
Answers Without the Jargon
You hear what was found and why it matters while the job is open, in words that need no second electrician to decode it.

“Anthony had a better idea. The other Electrician came out and gave a bid for $14,000. I thought that was a little high and decided to get another opinion. Anthony had ideas that the other guys never even thought of.”

Common Questions
Before You Book a Beaverton Electrician
Who issues an electrical permit in Beaverton?
The City of Beaverton does, through its own Building Division, for addresses inside the city limits. Cedar Hills, Raleigh Hills, West Slope and Garden Home are unincorporated Washington County, so those permits and inspections come from the county instead. The address decides it, not the postal town.
Do I need a panel upgrade before an EV charger in Beaverton?
Sometimes, and a load calculation is what tells you. Plenty of houses here have the capacity sitting unused and need nothing more than a circuit. Others were full before the charger was ever considered. You find out which before the job is booked, not on install day.
My Beaverton house is from the seventies. Is the wiring a problem?
Usually the wiring itself is fine and the panel is the limit. What comes up on that era is a service sized for the appliances of the day, no space left for a new breaker, and sometimes a Federal Pacific or Zinsco box that is worth replacing on its own merits.
Which cities does ATR Electric serve around Portland?
Every city on the map above, which covers Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties in Oregon plus Clark County in Washington. Each one has its own page with the permit rules that apply there. If your city is not marked, call and ask rather than assuming the answer is no.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Oregon?
On any work that requires one, yes, and ATR Electric pulls it rather than leaving it to you. New circuits, service changes and panel work generally require a permit. Unpermitted electrical tends to surface later during a sale or an insurance claim, and it has to be opened back up for an inspector anyway.
