Roseville Electrician for Panels, EV Chargers & Repairs
Breaker that will not reset, kitchen outlets gone dead, or a Level 2 charger on order and a panel that already looks full? We find the cause first, then quote the fix in writing. Our C-10 crew works out of Citrus Heights, pulls City of Roseville permits, and coordinates with Roseville Electric when a job touches the meter or service.

Roseville Has Its Own Utility. We Plan for That.
Most homes inside Roseville city limits buy power from Roseville Electric, the city-owned utility, not SMUD or PG&E. That changes who schedules a service disconnect and how solar gets approved for interconnection. We sort it out before we quote, so a panel or EV charger job does not stall at the meter.
The housing stock matters too. Newer builds in West Park and Fiddyment Farm usually have the amps and just need a dedicated circuit done right. Older homes near downtown are where we find tired 100-amp panels and wiring that has been added onto for decades.

What We Fix and Install in Roseville
One licensed crew handles the job from the first visit to the final inspection. Pick the service below for the details on Roseville homes.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
A 100-amp panel with an EV charger, battery, or remodel in the plan needs a load calculation before anything else. We run the numbers, pull the permit, and book the utility disconnect when the service has to change.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 chargers for Tesla, Rivian, Ford, and every other brand on a dedicated 240V circuit. If your panel cannot carry it, you hear that before the install date.
Electrical Troubleshooting
Tripping breakers, flickering lights, half the kitchen dead. We trace the fault to its source instead of swapping parts until something works. Breaker will not reset? Call (916) 899-3062.
Outlets and Switches
GFCI protection near sinks, USB outlets, switch wiring for a new ceiling fan, and grounded replacements for old two-prong outlets.
Lighting Installation
Recessed cans, pendants, under-cabinet strips, and exterior lights on proper circuits and dimmers. No loose splices left in the attic.
Battery Backup
Whole-home or critical-load batteries sized to what you actually run during an outage. We wire it, permit it, and handle the utility paperwork.
Solar Panel Installation
We do the electrical side of solar: panel capacity, interconnection wiring, permits, and the Roseville Electric approval steps.

Most homes inside Roseville city limits are served by Roseville Electric, the city-owned utility. A Roseville mailing address outside city limits can be on PG&E instead, and your bill will tell you which. It matters for service upgrades and solar approval, so we confirm it on the first visit.
Yes. Panel upgrades, new circuits, EV chargers, and solar wiring all need a City of Roseville building permit. We file it, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector, so you never have to deal with the permit counter.
