Residential New Construction Electrical in Albany, OR
Licensed new construction electrician in Albany, OR. Hub City Electric handles rough-in, trim-out, panel installation, and inspections. Call (541) 220-0295.
New Home Electrical, Start to Finish
On a new home, the electrician is one of the first trades in the door and one of the last to leave. We are there at rough-in running every branch circuit before the walls close, and we are back at the end for trim-out, the panel hookup, and the final inspection. Get the electrical plan right at the start and the rest of the build moves smoothly. Get it wrong and you are chasing problems for years.
We work with builders and with homeowners acting as their own general contractor on new homes across the Willamette Valley. We pull our own permits, we read the plans, and we flag issues before they cost you. Want the EV charger circuit roughed in now while the garage wall is open instead of cutting drywall later? We will plan for it. Putting in electric heat and a hot tub down the road? We size the panel for that today so you are not paying to upgrade in two years.
The thing that keeps a new build on schedule is a trade that does not hold up the next crew. Insulation cannot go in until electrical rough-in passes inspection, so a slow electrician backs up the whole calendar. We treat your rough-in inspection like a deadline, because for everyone behind us it is one. Small crew, no subcontractors, and we answer the phone when the builder calls.

The Residential New Construction Electrical Process
Review the electrical plan early
Before framing if we can, we go over outlet counts, panel placement, and any specialty circuits so nothing gets missed.
Rough-in every circuit
We drill the studs, set the boxes, and run all branch wiring back to the panel location before drywall.
Set the panel and pass rough inspection
We install the service panel sized for the home and meet the inspector so insulation can move forward.
Trim-out and final
Outlets, switches, dimmers, and fixtures go in after paint, then we walk the final inspection with the local jurisdiction.
What to Know Before You Start
Panel sizing is the decision that pays off or bites you for the life of the house. Most new homes today should be on a 200-amp service. If the plan includes electric HVAC, an EV charger, a shop, or a hot tub, we look hard at whether 400-amp makes more sense now, because upgrading later means tearing into finished work. We run the load calculation and give you a real number instead of a guess.
The other place new builds go sideways is specialty circuits that got left off the plan. The kitchen needs more dedicated circuits than people realize, the laundry needs its own, and that future EV charger is a lot cheaper to rough in now. In Oregon the electrical permit and inspections are required on every new build, and we handle that coordination so the builder is not chasing it. Cost on new construction tracks square footage, fixture count, and how many specialty loads the home carries.
On a new build the electrical has to land in step with everyone else, and that is where a small crew earns its keep. We work from the prints, hit the rough-in window before insulation and drywall close the walls, and come back for finish without holding up the framers, plumbers, or the inspector. Whether it is a custom home outside Corvallis or an addition in Tangent, the same two people are on it start to finish, so the builder has one number to call and the wiring is consistent from the panel to the last switch. Send us the plans and we will get you a free quote with the price in writing.

Why Albany Calls Us for This Work
We do not hold up the build
Insulation waits on our rough-in inspection. We treat that date as a hard deadline because every trade behind us does too.
We plan for what you’ll add later
EV charger, hot tub, shop, electric heat. We rough in and size the panel for tomorrow so you are not cutting drywall in two years.
We read plans and flag gaps
Outlet counts, missing dedicated circuits, panel placement. We catch the omissions before framing instead of after.
Direct line to the builder
No call center, no project manager passing messages. The crew running your rough-in is who the builder talks to.

Common Questions
How early do you need to be involved in a new build?
As early as possible, ideally during the design phase so we can review the electrical plan and flag any issues before framing starts. At minimum, contact us before rough-in begins.
Do you work with builders directly?
Yes. We’re comfortable working within a GC’s schedule and communicating directly with the build team on rough-in timelines and panel placement.
What size panel do you recommend for a new home?
It depends on square footage and planned loads. Most new homes today benefit from a 200-amp service. We’ll size it based on your specific plan.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. We pull the electrical permit and coordinate inspections with the local jurisdiction. You don’t need to manage that separately.
Do you offer veteran discounts?
Yes, veterans get 5% off. Just let us know when you call.
What areas do you serve for new construction?
Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, Sweet Home, Harrisburg, Tangent, and surrounding communities within our 70-mile service radius.
