Electrical Panel Upgrades in Folsom

Electrical Panel Upgrade in Folsom 

Under the Sun Solar & Electric replaces old or maxed-out panels with 200-amp, solar-ready, EV-ready service across Folsom. We pull every permit through the City of Folsom Building Division and coordinate the PG&E disconnect ourselves. C-10 licensed. Free estimates, call 916-899-3062.

Empire Ranch and Willow Creek homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s came standard with 200-amp panels, and plenty of those panels are old enough now that breakers trip for no clear reason or there is no room left for one more circuit. Add solar, an EV charger, or a battery to a panel like that and something usually has to give. Under the Sun Solar & Electric is a C-10 licensed contractor that replaces, upgrades, and rewires panels across Folsom, and pulls every permit through the City of Folsom Building Division before the first breaker comes out.

Most panel swaps in Folsom finish in a day, and PG&E has to sign off before we energize anything new, so we schedule the utility disconnect and reconnect as part of the job instead of leaving you waiting on a callback. If the panel feeds a house near the foothills or Folsom Lake, we will also walk through backup power and PSPS outage risk while we already have the panel open.

What a panel upgrade in Folsom actually involves

A panel upgrade is not one fixed job. It depends on what is already in the wall and what you want to run off it. Under the Sun handles the full range for Folsom homes as part of our broader electrical panel upgrade work across the Sacramento area.

Full panel replacement

Most Folsom upgrades move a house from 100 or 150 amps to 200 amps. We swap the panel, the main breaker, and the meter base connection, then test every existing circuit before we close it up.

Solar-ready and EV-ready panel design

If solar or an EV charger is part of the plan, we size the panel and the bus bar for that load now instead of forcing a second upgrade in two years. We install EV chargers and coordinate with solar installs and battery storage on the same panel so nothing gets rebuilt twice. Call 916-899-3062 to talk through your setup.

Breaker and bus bar work

Sometimes the panel itself is fine and the problem is a failing breaker, a corroded bus bar, or a double-tapped circuit from a prior remodel. We diagnose before we quote, so you are not paying for a full panel swap when a targeted repair solves it.

Bringing older or unpermitted work up to code

Empire Ranch and Willow Creek houses that have changed hands a few times sometimes have a sub-panel or an added circuit that was never permitted. We pull retroactive permits with the City of Folsom and bring that work up to current NEC code as part of the upgrade, which matters at resale and for insurance.

How we handle a panel job in Folsom

We quote the job in writing before we touch the panel, and the number does not move once we are on site unless you ask for something extra.

You get one electrician on your job from the estimate through the final inspection, not a rotating crew.

We do not sell panel replacements to homeowners who only need a breaker fixed. If a smaller repair solves it, that is what we quote.

Because we also handle solar, EV, and battery work, a panel we install today is already sized for whatever you add next, without a second contractor re-checking our math.

You can verify our C-10 license directly with the California Contractors State License Board at cslb.ca.gov before we start any work.

Where we work in Folsom

We cover Folsom end to end, from Empire Ranch and Willow Creek to Natoma Station, Blue Ravine, Broadstone, and the newer Folsom Ranch builds. ZIP codes 95630 and 95763 are both in our regular service area, along with the Serrano-adjacent neighborhoods near the foothills.

Talk to an electrician before you decide anything

You do not need to know whether you want a full panel swap or a smaller repair before you call. Tell us what the panel is doing (or not doing) and we will tell you straight what it needs. 916-899-3062 | Request Your Free Estimate
