Ashland is different from the rest of the Rogue Valley — and not just because of the theater festival. Ashland is the only city in Jackson County with its own municipal utility, Ashland Electric. That means service upgrades, meter spots, and permits all go through the City of Ashland Electric Department, not Pacific Power. Murphy Electric has been navigating that workflow for Ashland homeowners since 1978, and we know who to call, what form to file, and how long the meter swap actually takes.
The Railroad District north of downtown is full of Craftsman and Victorian homes built before 1940 — beautiful, but often still running on knob-and-tube wiring, 2-prong ungrounded outlets, and original fuse panels. The hillside neighborhoods above Lithia Park and Granite Street come with their own challenges: long, undersized service drops and tight crawlspaces.
Staged rewires, 200-amp service entries, fuse panel replacements — passing City of Ashland Electric inspection.
Level 2 chargers — Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Wallbox, JuiceBox. Sized to your panel with permit pulled.
Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton standby units with transfer switches sized for your well pump, fridge, and HVAC.
We coordinate Ashland Electric Utility service for every job — no need to call the city yourself.
In Ashland, your electric utility is run by the City of Ashland, not Pacific Power. Service upgrades, meter releases, and reconnects are coordinated through the city’s electric department. Murphy Electric handles the coordination for you.
