Lafayette's Closest Electrical Contractor, Right on 99W
Simpson Electric Heating and Air has been serving Lafayette and the surrounding Yamhill County communities since 1999. Lafayette sits just 2.2 miles from our shop, which means when a homeowner on 3rd Street needs a panel looked at or a property on the edge of town needs generator wiring run, we are there fast. We have worked on the older homes along Lafayette’s main corridor where original wiring from the mid-century still feeds modern loads, and we have handled service upgrades for properties throughout this part of the county where rural infrastructure meets growing electrical demand. Lafayette may be a small city, but the electrical work here runs the same range as anywhere in Yamhill County: aging panels, new heat pump wiring, EV charger circuits, and the generator installs that make Oregon winters manageable.
Electrical Services We Provide in Lafayette, Oregon
Electrical Panel Upgrades and Service Upgrades
Lafayette’s older housing stock carries a mix of original panels and mid-century wiring that wasn’t sized for today’s electrical loads. We replace fuse boxes and outdated breaker panels with modern 200-amp service and handle full service upgrades when the utility connection itself needs to come up to current Oregon code.
If you are adding an EV charger or converting to electric heat in a Lafayette home built before 1975, a panel assessment is the right first step. We give you a straight answer before recommending any work.
Generator Installation and Backup Power
The stretch of Yamhill County between Lafayette and McMinnville sits in a corridor that sees power outages from Coast Range windstorms every winter. We install whole-home standby generators and transfer switches sized to the actual load of your home, not a generic unit.
We carry and install Kohler and other name-brand generator systems, and we pull the required permits for every installation in Oregon.
EV Charger Installation
Lafayette homeowners adding electric vehicles need a dedicated Level 2 circuit that their existing panel can support. We assess the panel capacity, pull the permit, run the circuit, and install the charger to manufacturer spec.
If your panel is near its limit, we can handle the service upgrade and charger installation as a single project.
HVAC Electrical and Heating System Wiring
Heat pump installations and mini-split systems require dedicated electrical circuits and disconnect boxes. We handle the electrical side of HVAC work throughout Lafayette and coordinate with HVAC contractors when the project crosses trades.
Older Lafayette homes converting from propane or oil heat to electric systems often need a panel upgrade as part of the transition. We assess the full scope before quoting.
Outlets, Circuits, and General Electrical
From adding garage circuits to replacing two-prong outlets in older Yamhill County homes, we handle residential electrical of all sizes in Lafayette. Kitchen remodels, outdoor outlet installation, ceiling fan wiring, and circuit additions for new appliances are everyday work for our crew.
Lafayette properties that haven’t had electrical work done in 20 or more years often have undersized wiring runs and outdated receptacles throughout. We can do a full walkthrough and identify anything worth addressing before it becomes a problem.
If a project needs a permit in Oregon, we pull it and schedule the inspection.
We also serve nearby Electrician in McMinnville and Electrician in Dayton for electrical service throughout Yamhill County.
Lafayette Service Area | Response Times From Our Shop
Our shop is at 4230 NE Hawn Creek Road in McMinnville. Lafayette is just 3 minutes away covering 2.2 miles via OR-99W S/Pacific Highway West, heading toward Lafayette from the McMinnville side.
The route is a straight shot down 99W with no turns until you reach Lafayette.

Questions From Lafayette Homeowners
What electrical services does Simpson Electric provide in Lafayette?
We handle panel upgrades, generator installation, EV charger installation, HVAC electrical, service upgrades, outlet and circuit work, and general residential electrical throughout Lafayette and Yamhill County. Call +1 503-550-4027 to talk through your project.
My Lafayette home is older. How do I know if my electrical panel needs replacing?
Homes in Lafayette built before 1970 often have 60-amp or 100-amp service with original panels that weren’t designed for modern loads. If your breakers trip regularly, you have a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, or you’re planning to add an EV charger or heat pump, it’s worth having us take a look. We assess the panel and give you a clear recommendation before any work is proposed.
How much does electrical work cost in Lafayette?
Cost depends on the scope of the project. A panel upgrade is a different job than adding a single circuit for a new appliance. We quote every job on-site before work begins and don’t add charges once we’ve started. Call +1 503-550-4027 to schedule a free estimate in Lafayette.
Do you pull permits for electrical work in Lafayette?
Yes, always. Oregon requires permits for most electrical work beyond simple device replacements. We pull the permit, the work gets inspected, and you get documentation the job was done to code. This matters for home sales and insurance coverage.
How quickly can you get to Lafayette for electrical service?
Our shop on NE Hawn Creek Road is 3 minutes from Lafayette via OR-99W. For scheduled work we book based on current availability. Call +1 503-550-4027 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
