About Photo Electric, LLC
Photo Electric, LLC operates as an electrical and HVAC contractor serving Salem, Oregon with a 4.4-star rating drawn from 14 client reviews. The company maintains a physical office at 2859 22nd St SE in Salem's commercial corridor and provides services Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5 PM. Rod Loder serves as signing supervisor and leads a team that handles residential, commercial, and industrial projects across the Willamette Valley. The contractor holds appropriate licensing for electrical work in Oregon and accepts service calls for both new construction and existing property upgrades.
What distinguishes Photo Electric is its breadth of integrated expertise spanning two trades. The company handles complete electrical system work including panel upgrades, EV charger installation, smart home integration, and commercial wiring for specialized retail environments including cannabis cultivation facilities and fast food restaurants. Simultaneously, the team provides commercial HVAC installation and repair services, offering customers a single contractor source for both climate control and electrical infrastructure. This dual-capability proves particularly valuable for commercial property managers overseeing multiple building systems.
Customer reviews highlight specific technicians and their problem-solving approach. Antonio Torres described how the team rewired his house in 2019 and returned within an hour when a water heater issue arose years later. Reviewer Deanna Perkins specifically named technicians Conan, Sebasti n, and Maria as top-notch for their quick, polite, and knowledgeable service. Another reviewer noted that Dennis provided excellent panel and electrical updates with strong teamwork. The pattern across positive reviews emphasizes code compliance, electrical safety considerations, and long-term thinking about future homeowner needs.
