Residential Electricians · Medford & the Rogue Valley
Reliable Backup Power Solutions to Keep Your Home Running, No Matter the Weather.
Never Lose Power Again
In Southern Oregon, we’ve seen it all, from heavy winter storms in Grants Pass to record-breaking heat waves and Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS!) in Medford. When the grid goes down, your home’s comfort and safety shouldn’t go with it.
At Murphy Electric, we provide turnkey generator solutions that ensure you are never left in the dark. Whether you need a fully automated whole-home standby generator or a professional manual transfer switch for your portable unit, we bring nearly five decades of experience to every installation.
We help you choose the right level of protection for your budget and needs.
These units sit outside like an A/C unit and turn on automatically within seconds of a power loss. They power your A/C, well pump, fridge, and lights without you ever lifting a finger.
A cost-effective way to use your existing portable generator. We install a dedicated sub-panel that allows you to safely power your home's essential circuits without the danger of "backfeeding" or messy extension cords.
We’ve been through every major Rogue Valley power event for 45+ years. We know which systems hold up in our local climate.
We handle all City of Medford and Jackson County permits and coordinate directly with Pacific Power for the "cut-and-reconnect."
We perform a full load calculation to ensure your generator can handle your specific appliances, ensuring you don't overpay for power you don't need.
The right generator starts with a load calculation. A whole-home standby unit can run everything, but many homeowners size for the essentials — well pump, refrigerator, furnace or heat pump, and a few key circuits. The big one in rural Southern Oregon is the well pump: its startup surge can stall an undersized generator, so we size specifically to handle it without nuisance-tripping.
Standby generators run on natural gas or propane. If you’re on a gas line, that’s usually the simplest, lowest-maintenance choice. On acreage we more often tie into a propane tank. We handle the electrical side and coordinate with your gas or propane installer so the whole system comes together cleanly.
With a standby generator and an automatic transfer switch, you don’t have to be home or do anything. When the power drops, the generator starts and the transfer switch moves your home to backup power within seconds, then switches back when the grid returns — no cords, no manual steps.
Between PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff) events during wildfire season and winter storms, multi-day outages are a real risk across Southern Oregon. A standby generator keeps your heat, refrigeration, medical equipment, and well running through them — and the value of one saved freezer or a warm house through a storm adds up fast.
We have trucks running daily on I-5 and Highway 99. No matter where you are in the valley, you get the same fair, upfront pricing. Our electricians serve these communities:
Costs vary based on the size of your home and your fuel source (Natural Gas vs. Propane). We provide transparent, upfront quotes that include the unit, the electrical install, and all necessary permitting.
Yes. If you choose a standby unit, we size it specifically to handle high-draw appliances like your HVAC system, so you can stay cool even during a summer blackout.
