Backup power for long winter outages, service upgrades for older and manufactured homes, well pumps that can't quit in January — Manzanita Electric is the licensed, family-owned crew that makes the drive to La Pine and the south county.
La Pine isn't a suburb of Bend, and its electrical work shows it. Properties on acreage off long gravel roads. Wells and pump houses where a tripped breaker means no water. Manufactured homes still on their original service. Shops and outbuildings that need their own feeds. And winters that run colder and snowier than almost anywhere else in Central Oregon.
Power out here travels a long way through the trees, and when it goes down in a cold snap it can stay down. That's why standby generators and generator interlocks are among the most common jobs we do in La Pine — alongside panel and service upgrades that bring older and manufactured homes up to a safe 200-amp standard.
When something fails at the worst time — no power, no water, a burning smell at the panel — our 24/7 emergency electricians answer the phone. For everything else, we schedule service calls same-day or next-day in most cases.
We're a licensed, family-owned contractor based in Bend, about 35 minutes north. We know the Deschutes County permit process and we coordinate directly with Midstate Electric Cooperative.
Backup power, service capacity, and the rural circuits that keep a property running through a hard winter.
A propane standby generator that comes on by itself, or an interlock kit that lets a portable generator power your essentials safely — we install both. Sized for well pumps, furnaces, and freezers, with the transfer equipment and permits handled.
Generator options & pricingOlder stick-built homes and manufactured homes alike often run on 100-amp service and tired meter bases. We replace panels and meter bases, upgrade to 200-amp service, and coordinate the work with Midstate Electric Cooperative.
Panel upgrade detailsNo water usually starts as an electrical problem: a breaker, pressure switch, control box, or burned connection. We troubleshoot pump circuits fast, and we answer 24/7 when an outage or failure can't wait until morning.
