What Clackamas homeowners ask us for

Clackamas has a mix of established neighborhoods and newer homes, and the projects that come up most are about adding big new loads and keeping the power on:

Generator or bypass kit?

Winter outages are a big reason homeowners look at backup power. A standby generator starts on its own and can run the whole house; a bypass kit (interlock) is a lower-cost way to run essential circuits from a portable generator you start yourself. Our posts Do You Need a Backup Generator in Portland? and Generator Bypass Kit Installation compare the options honestly.

EV chargers and hot tubs near Clackamas

Just up the road, we recently replaced a 125-amp panel with a 200-amp panel in a Milwaukie home so it could run a new EV charger and a hot tub. Read about it in our Milwaukie project spotlight. If you're planning both, start with a load calculation, and see our 2026 cost guide for what drives the price.

Who issues electrical permits in Clackamas?

Clackamas is an unincorporated community, so Clackamas County Building Codes issues electrical permits there, and in other unincorporated areas like Oak Grove.

Nearby cities are different. In incorporated cities such as Happy Valley, Gladstone, and Milwaukie, the split between city and county varies by permit type and by city, and the county publishes a lookup by city. We confirm which office covers your address and pull the permit as part of the job.

Which utility serves Clackamas?

The Clackamas area is in PGE territory. If you're adding a Level 2 charger, PGE's Smart Charging program may offer rebates for the charger and, in some cases, a related panel upgrade. See our post on PGE's panel upgrade rebate for EV chargers. You need to check and confirm your own eligibility directly with PGE. Nexus Electrical Group does not apply for, process, or guarantee rebates.

Clackamas electrical FAQ

Who issues electrical permits in Clackamas, Oregon?

Clackamas is unincorporated, so Clackamas County Building Codes issues electrical permits. In cities like Happy Valley or Gladstone it can be the city or the county, depending on the permit type.

Should I get a standby generator or a bypass kit?

A standby generator turns on automatically and can power the whole house, but it costs more. A bypass kit with a portable generator is a lower-cost way to keep essentials running if you're comfortable starting the generator yourself.

Can I add an EV charger to my Clackamas home?

Usually. A load calculation shows whether your panel has room, whether load management could work, or whether you need an upgrade.

Do you serve Happy Valley, Oak Grove, and Gladstone?

Yes. We serve Clackamas and the surrounding communities, along with the rest of the Portland metro.

Is there a Nexus office in Clackamas?

No. We're based in Beaverton and serve Clackamas from there.
