    I hired Under the Sun Solar and Electric to upgrade my subpanel per the new California code. It was a quick and easy process. They were very easy to communicate with throughout, from the scheduling the install, passing inspection, to the documentation they could provide so that I could send it off to my HOA. The install was very quick and neat, and they made sure to leave everything spotless after themselves.

    We recently had our old panel replaced and the whole experience was great from start to finish. The crew was easy to work with, answered all of our questions, and kept everything neat and organized throughout the install. The new panel looks amazing and works perfectly. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a panel upgrade.

    I'd highly recommend Under The Sun for your solar needs. I recently had 10 additional panels added to boost the production of my existing system. Mark and Paul were very responsive and easy to work with. They also worked with me to ensure a clean installation making sure no ugly conduit was exposed and completed the entire install process in a single day. It’s rare to find contractors that are this professional and prompt.

    Electrical Panel Upgrade Services in Citrus Heights

    Older homes in Citrus Heights weren’t designed for today’s electrical demand. Between EV chargers, solar systems, HVAC upgrades, and modern appliances, many homes in the area are still operating on outdated 100-amp panels that are no longer safe or sufficient.

    Under the Sun Solar & Electric provides code-compliant electrical panel upgrades in Citrus Heights, helping homeowners safely increase capacity, pass inspections, and prepare their homes for future electrical needs.


    Electrical Panel Upgrade Services in Citrus Heights

    We specialize exclusively in service panel and main electrical upgrades, not quick patchwork fixes.

    Our Citrus Heights panel services include:

    • 100-amp to 200-amp electrical service upgrades
    • Main breaker panel replacement
    • Zinsco & Federal Pacific (FPE) panel replacements
    • Meter/main combo upgrades
    • Sub-panel additions
    • Grounding & bonding corrections
    • Load calculations for solar and EV readiness

    All work is fully permitted, inspected, and coordinated with the local utility.


    Why Citrus Heights Homes Commonly Need Panel Upgrades

    Many homes in Citrus Heights were built between the 1950s–1980s and still rely on original electrical infrastructure. We regularly see:

    • 100-amp panels overloaded by modern usage
    • Breakers that trip under normal household load
    • Panels that are no longer insurable
    • Unsafe legacy panels recalled for fire risk
    • Homes preparing for solar, remodels, or EV chargers

    A panel upgrade isn’t cosmetic — it’s a safety and capacity upgrade.


    Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade

    You may need a panel upgrade if:

    • Breakers trip frequently
    • Lights dim when appliances turn on
    • You smell heat or burning near the panel
    • The panel feels warm to the touch
    • Your home still uses a fuse box
    • You’re adding solar, an EV charger, or a remodel
    • Your insurance company flagged the panel

    If any of the above apply, a professional evaluation is critical.


    Local Utility & Permit Coordination (Handled for You)

    Panel upgrades in Citrus Heights require coordination with the local utility and city inspection.

    We handle:

    • Permit applications
    • Utility disconnect / reconnect scheduling
    • Inspector coordination
    • Final approval and sign-off

    You don’t deal with paperwork or back-and-forth delays.

    1. On-Site Evaluation
      We assess panel condition, service size, grounding, and load requirements.
    2. Clear Scope & Pricing
      You receive a straightforward recommendation — no upsells, no vague estimates.
    3. Permits & Scheduling
      We coordinate with the city and utility for a smooth upgrade window.
    4. Professional Installation
      Old panel removed, new service installed to current code.
