Electrician in Sherwood, OR
Sherwood has grown from a small town on Highway 99W into one of the busier family suburbs at the southern edge of Washington County. That growth brings a steady need for electrical upgrades, from EV chargers in newer garages to updated panels in Old Town homes. Peak Electric Group handles residential, commercial and industrial electrical work across Sherwood.
Sherwood electrical services
EV charger installation
Many Sherwood households now have one or two electric vehicles. We install Level 2 chargers on a dedicated circuit, check the panel’s capacity first, and place the charger where the cord reaches without crossing the garage.
Panel and service upgrades
Homes built during Sherwood’s growth years often have panels sized for the appliances of that time. Adding a heat pump, an induction range, a hot tub and a charger can push them past what they were designed for. We upgrade panels and services, including 200 amp upgrades, when the load calls for it.
Remodels, basements and additions
Finishing a bonus room, opening up a kitchen or adding a home office means new circuits, lighting and outlets. We wire to code and coordinate with your contractor’s schedule.
Hot tubs and outdoor power
Backyard hot tubs, patio lighting and outdoor outlets need GFCI protection and the right disconnects. We install them so they are safe in Oregon’s wet months.
Troubleshooting
When a circuit goes dead or a breaker will not hold, we find the cause and fix it. Learn more about our electrical service calls.
Commercial and light industrial
Sherwood’s retail centers along 99W and its industrial areas off Tualatin-Sherwood Road need reliable power. We handle tenant improvements, LED lighting retrofits, maintenance, motor controls and equipment hook-ups. See our commercial and industrial pages.
What makes Sherwood electrical work different
Most of Sherwood’s housing is newer than in the older Portland neighborhoods, so we see fewer problems with very old wiring and more questions about capacity. A home can be in good shape and still have no room in the panel for what the family wants to add next. A load calculation answers that before you buy a charger or a hot tub.
Old Town Sherwood is the exception. Its older homes and commercial buildings can have wiring that has been changed many times, and a building that becomes a shop, café or office often needs new circuits and lighting to suit the new use.
Many Sherwood neighborhoods back onto green space and tall trees, so winter wind can bring down lines and cause outages. Generator hookups and whole home surge protection are common add-ons we discuss with homeowners.

Sherwood electrical service questions
Can my Sherwood home handle two EV chargers?
Sometimes. A load calculation shows whether the panel has room. If not, a load-sharing charger or a service upgrade may be the answer.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
The work itself is often done in a day, but scheduling the utility and the inspection adds time. We give you a timeline when we quote the job.
Do I need a permit to add a hot tub circuit?
Yes, a new hot tub circuit normally needs a permit and an inspection. We take care of it for work we perform.
Can you add circuits for a home office or gym?
Yes. We add dedicated circuits, more outlets and better lighting so the space works the way you use it.
Why does a breaker trip when the microwave and kettle run together?
Kitchen circuits can overload when several high-wattage appliances share one line. Adding a circuit usually solves it.
Do you install standby generators?
Yes. We install generators and transfer equipment so you can keep key circuits running during an outage.
Do you work on commercial spaces in Old Town or along 99W?
Yes. We handle tenant improvements, lighting upgrades and electrical maintenance for Sherwood businesses.
