Septic systems have a lot going on—from aeration cycles and pumping waste to monitoring water levels, there’s plenty of places for something to go wrong. Jarrett Electric can give you the power to take control into your own hands.
Your septic system plays a vital role in keeping our communities safe and clean, but when was the last time you checked its health?

With over 30 years of electrical experience, our licensed team makes the process seamless from start to finish. Whether you’re installing a septic control box, connecting a new pump, or running wires to power everything, we deliver trusted solutions you can count on.

According to the Municipal Sewer & Water magazine, the United States has installed over 700,000 miles of public sewer pipes. This massive network is responsible for keeping waste out of our cities, waterways, and ecosystems, making it vital that they keep working—and this importance extends to your own home, as well.
Regardless of how complex your septic system is, we’ve got the knowledge needed to pair you with the perfect control box. From simply replacing outdated models to complete rewiring and new installations, Jarrett Electric can handle every step of the process from start to finish.
Need a pump inserted, a better timer, or a louder alarm? We’ve got your back. Our licensed electricians are capable of upgrading and adjusting your septic system’s electrical components, making sure you never have to question if things will function.
Septic systems are used daily, and, while components are expected to last for decades, it’s always a good idea to periodically check everything. We provide professional inspections and routine maintenance reviews for wiring, voltage output, and equipment safety, giving you peace of mind while extending the life of your septic system and controller.
Installing septic control boxes requires adherence to electrical and public health codes, as well as proper permit certification. We manage the paperwork, coordinate inspections, and guarantee every installation meets both national and local standards.
No, not every house comes equipped with a septic control box—and there are even some septic system types which don’t require one. If your location is connected to the municipal/city system or relies on gravity to move waste, then a septic controller isn’t needed. However, should the system contain any electrical components, such as pumps, then a controller is necessary to monitor everything and keep elements operational.
Usually, septic control boxes are positioned on the outside of a house or building, but they can also be mounted on a pole near the system’s septic tank; as long as the controller is easily viewable and can be accessed without issue, any location should be fine.
For the most part, installing a new septic control box takes around 2–4 hours—should new conduits and trenching be required, the project could end up requiring half a day.
Installation cost depends on your system’s required panel type, wiring needs, and the state of your float switches. As a good estimate, installations in Central Oregon usually start around $500 to $1,500. We provide upfront estimates before any work begins.
Should the controller’s power be interrupted, any connected electrical elements will cease functioning—pumps will stop moving waste, float switches won’t monitor water levels, and the alarm will fail to sound if the septic tank gets too full. While the system will resume normal operation once power is restored, it’s essential that you limit your water usage during outages to prevent an accidental overflow or backup.
