Home or business
Residential or commercial electrician in Eugene?
A residential electrician works on houses, duplexes and apartments. A commercial electrician works on shops, offices, restaurants and other business buildings.
The two jobs differ in power type, code rules and paperwork. Most homes run on single-phase power. Many commercial buildings use three-phase power and need plan review before a permit is issued.
Tell us the building type when you call. We connect you with an electrician who does that kind of work in Eugene and Springfield.
Which one fits your job
- Residential: outlets, lighting, new circuits, panel upgrades, EV chargers, generator hookups.
- Commercial: tenant improvements, lighting retrofits, three-phase equipment, exit and emergency lights.
- Either: tripping breakers, dead circuits, storm damage and code corrections.

Urgent problems
Emergency electrician in Eugene: who to call first
An electrical emergency is a fault that risks fire or shock right now. Smoke, sparks, a burning smell, a buzzing or hot panel and water touching wiring all count.
Call 911 first if there is smoke, fire or an injury. Call EWEB if a line is down or the whole block is dark. Stay at least the length of a bus away from any fallen line.
Call (815) 456-4349 when the problem is inside your building. Call any time; we connect you with an electrician who takes urgent jobs in Eugene when one is available.
Electrician or utility?
- EWEB: downed lines, street outages, a damaged meter or a broken service drop.
- An electrician: one room or circuit dead, a breaker that trips again, a warm outlet or switch, flickering on one circuit.
- Both: a tree tore the line off the house. EWEB handles its wire; an electrician repairs the mast and meter base on your side.
Winter weather
Ice storms, EWEB outages and your wiring
Freezing rain is the storm that hits Eugene's power hardest. Ice loads tree limbs until they snap onto lines.
Freezing rain began on January 13, 2024. EWEB outages peaked at about a quarter of its customers, and some rural McKenzie Valley customers waited more than a week for power. An ice storm in December 2016 cut power to more than 20,000 EWEB customers.
A generator must connect through a transfer switch or an approved interlock. A generator plugged into a wall outlet sends power back onto EWEB lines and endangers line crews.
Before the next ice storm
- Have a transfer switch or interlock installed before winter.
- List the circuits you need on generator power: furnace, fridge, well pump, medical devices.
- Check the service mast and meter base for damage after limbs fall.
- Add surge protection at the panel for the surge when power returns.
Before work starts
How to check an Oregon electrician's license
Oregon licenses electricians through the Building Codes Division (BCD). Individual licenses include General Journeyman Electrician and General Supervising Electrician.
A business that does electrical work in Oregon needs two licenses: a BCD electrical contractor license and a Construction Contractors Board (CCB) license. The state advises checking both before work begins.
- 1. Ask for both numbersGet the BCD license number and the CCB number.
- 2. Search BCDUse the BCD license holder search on oregon.gov/bcd.
- 3. Search CCBUse the CCB search at search.ccb.state.or.us and confirm the business name matches.

Cost factors
What affects the cost of electrical work in Eugene
The electrician sets the price and gives it to you in writing. We do not set or collect prices.
Panel upgrades are a common Eugene request. A larger panel or service often comes up when a home adds a heat pump, an EV charger or a generator hookup. These factors change the price of most jobs:
- AccessCrawl spaces, finished walls and older wiring change how long the work takes.
- Permit and inspectionCity and County fees differ, and commercial work often needs plan review.
- EWEB coordinationService upgrades need EWEB to disconnect and reconnect power.
- TimingUrgent calls and storm repairs usually cost more than booked visits.
