Electrician in Rancho Cordova

Rancho Cordova’s electrical needs split hard depending on the neighborhood. The older corridors along Folsom Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard are filled with 1960s and 1970s homes still running on 100-amp panels – too small for today’s EV chargers, heat pumps, and modern kitchen loads. On the other end of the city, master-planned communities like Anatolia and Sunridge Park are stacked with 2000s-era homes where homeowners now want to add solar, battery storage, or Level 2 EV charger circuits that the original builders never roughed in. 

From a 100-amp panel that is out of capacity to a new EV charger circuit in a Sunridge Park home, here is what we handle – and where to get full details on each service.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

A 100-amp panel is not built for a home with an EV charger, central AC, and a modern kitchen running at the same time. We upgrade panels to 200 or 400 amps, bring your service up to current NEC code, and install required AFCI and GFCI protection throughout. Older Rancho Cordova homes near the Folsom Boulevard corridor are some of the most common candidates we see.

EV Charger Installation

Rancho Cordova is fully within SMUD territory, which means you may qualify for rebates on a Level 2 EV charger installation. We install the dedicated 240V circuit, mount the charger, pull the permit, and walk you through what SMUD documentation you need to capture the rebate. We work with ChargePoint, Tesla Wall Connector, Emporia, and most other major brands. Call (916) 899-3062 to get on the schedule.

Solar Electrical and Energy Storage

Solar installations and battery backup systems both require a licensed electrician to tie into your home’s service and meet California Title 24 requirements. We handle the electrical side of new solar installs and add energy storage systems for homeowners who want backup power when the grid goes down. SMUD rebates may apply to qualifying battery storage systems.

Lighting Installation

Rancho Cordova’s newer neighborhoods are full of rooms the builder wired with a single overhead box and no real lighting plan. We design and install recessed lighting circuits, under-cabinet LED runs, and exterior lighting upgrades – pulling permits and finishing with a clean drywall patch every time.

Outlet and Switch Work

Dedicated 240V outlets for workshops, GFCI upgrades in kitchens and baths, USB outlets, or a circuit that keeps tripping because it is overloaded – we size every circuit correctly and bring it up to current code.

Electrical Troubleshooting and Repair

Breakers that trip repeatedly, outlets that went dead, lights that flicker – these point to an underlying problem, not just a nuisance. We find the root cause, explain it clearly, and quote the fix before any work starts. No guessing, no unnecessary upsells.

Five Things Worth Knowing Before You Hire

• Verify your electrician’s license before any work starts: CA Lic. #1141678. An unlicensed contractor cannot legally pull a permit in Rancho Cordova, which means no inspection, no verification, and a potential problem with your homeowner’s insurance if something goes wrong. Check any contractor at cslb.ca.gov.
• Permits protect you, not just the city: Rancho Cordova Building & Safety requires permits for panel upgrades, new circuits, EV chargers, and most service changes. Unpermitted electrical work can complicate a home sale and void your insurance coverage. We pull every permit as a standard line item – not an extra.
• SMUD rebates are real and worth capturing: Rancho Cordova sits fully within SMUD’s service territory. SMUD offers rebates on Level 2 EV charger installation and qualifying battery storage systems. We are familiar with the documentation process and make sure you qualify before we wrap up the job.
• Panel capacity comes first: Adding an EV charger or heat pump to an already-loaded 100-amp panel without a load calculation first is one of the most common electrical mistakes we see. We run the numbers before we quote any new circuit that adds significant load.
• Two-person, owner-operated crew: Under The Sun Electric is a small business. You talk directly to the person doing the work – not a call center – and we keep our schedule tight enough to actually show up when we said we would.
