Planning and Bidding
1
Scope the work
Send us a plan set or walk the space with us. We ask the questions that keep change orders from showing up later.
2
Written scope and price
A licensed electrician prices the work in writing — what's included, what isn't, and what the existing service can actually carry.
3
Permit, build, inspect
We pull the electrical permit, coordinate with the other trades, and carry the job through final inspection.
Permits and Inspections
Most commercial electrical work requires a permit and a final inspection from the authority having jurisdiction — the City of Portland, the county, or the local building department, depending on the address. We apply for the permit, hold it, schedule the inspection, and handle any corrections through sign-off, so the closeout package isn't your problem.
Safety and Code Compliance
Commercial work is held to the National Electrical Code as adopted by Oregon, plus the state's own amendments. When we find existing conditions that don't comply — undersized feeders, missing emergency lighting, improper equipment circuits — we document them and price the corrections instead of quietly building on top of them.

"I had a great experience with this local electric company. They were prompt, showed up right on time, and the customer service was excellent from start to finish. They came to my mom's house and replaced some lighting, and everything was done efficiently and professionally. Super easy to work with and very reliable — I'd definitely recommend them!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work directly with general contractors and property managers?
Yes. We work as the electrical subcontractor on tenant improvement and remodel projects, and directly for property owners and managers on service, lighting, and maintenance work.
Do you pull commercial electrical permits?
Yes. We hold our own electrical permit on commercial projects and schedule our own inspections, then pass inspection dates along so they land in your master schedule.
Can you work nights or weekends in an occupied building?
Yes. When a space can't lose power during business hours, we schedule the work outside them.
Can you tell whether our existing service can handle new equipment?
Yes. We evaluate the existing service and panel capacity against the nameplate loads of the new equipment before anything is ordered or installed. If capacity is short, we scope the panel, feeder, or service work required.
Do you offer ongoing commercial electrical maintenance?
Yes. We offer maintenance agreements with scheduled inspections, lighting maintenance, and priority scheduling. Pricing depends on the building, so reach out and we'll scope it.
Are you a union electrical contractor?
Yes. Coy Electric is IBEW 48 signatory, so union-trained journeymen perform the work.
