PRACTICAL QUESTIONS, PLAIN ANSWERS

WHAT KIND OF ELECTRICAL WORK DO YOU DO?

Agricultural: pump and pivot troubleshooting, VFD replacements, and new power for farm equipment. Commercial: small commercial design, build, and service. Industrial: installations, controls, PLC work, MCCs, motors, and heat trace. Residential: new builds, remodels, shops, outbuildings, panel upgrades, new circuits, equipment connections, and repairs.

WHERE ARE YOU LICENSED?

We are licensed in Oregon and Washington: OR CCB #254121, Oregon Electrical Contractor #C2038, and Washington WA. 3RDRORE754MA.

DO YOU WORK ON HOMES, FARMS, COMMERCIAL, AND INDUSTRIAL JOBS?

Yes. The right approach depends on the building, equipment, scope, and schedule. If your project is not listed, ask—we will say whether we are the right fit.

WHAT AREAS DO YOU SERVE?

We focus on Oregon and Washington, local and regional work first. We travel farther when schedule and scope make sense; ask about your address.

HOW DO I GET AN ESTIMATE?

Call or text (458) 262-6889, email admin@3rdrockelectric.net, or book online. Share the location, what you need, and safe photos if useful.

DO YOU HANDLE EMERGENCY OR AFTER-HOURS REPAIRS?

We handle emergency repairs when we can. Availability depends on the situation and schedule; we do not promise 24/7 coverage. Call or text so we can discuss the next safe step.

CAN I SEND PHOTOS BEFORE YOU COME OUT?

Yes, if safe. Closed-panel photos, equipment nameplates, and a note about when the problem happens help us prepare. Do not remove panel covers or work inside energized equipment.

WHAT WARRANTY DO YOU OFFER?

For qualifying work performed in Oregon and Washington, we provide a 24-month workmanship warranty from completion, subject to written terms. Parts, fixtures, equipment, and materials follow the manufacturer warranty, if any.

HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?

We discuss payment at the estimate and put details on the invoice. Ask before scheduling if you have questions.

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR LARGER OR SPECIALIZED JOBS?

Yes, when scope, schedule, and travel make sense. Tell us where the job is and what you need; we will be straightforward about the next step.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF LIGHTS FLICKER?

Start utility-first: note whether it affects one room or the whole building, whether neighbors see it, and what loads start at the same time. Buzzing, burning smell, heat, discoloration, repeated trips, or unusually bright/dim areas deserve prompt attention. Do not remove panel covers.

CAN YOU HELP WITH GENERATOR PLANNING?

Yes. We can compare a properly connected portable setup with a standby system, starting with the critical loads and safe transfer method. Never backfeed through a dryer outlet.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

Call or text (458) 262-6889, email admin@3rdrockelectric.net, or book at www.3rdrockelectric.net. Include your address, project type, and a short description. We will help identify a clear next step.
