Electrician in Davis, CA.
Litel Electric is a licensed C-10 electrician in Davis — panels, EV charger circuits, lighting, rewiring and 24-hour faults. This is a solar town — Village Homes was built around it — so if a panel already has solar, a battery or a charger tied in, that changes how a replacement is planned. The City of Davis permits; PG&E supplies the power.

What to tell us about the property
If the property already has solar, a battery or a charger connected, that changes how a panel change has to be planned — backfeed position, breaker space, and what has to come off supply while the work is done. Send the construction year, the remodel record, and a note of anything already connected, with the inverter or charger make if you have it, so the sequence is worked out before the day.
The address, the meter and the panel
Send the address and construction year, with photos of the meter, the main panel and any inverter or battery equipment mounted outside the house.
What the house is, and what you are adding
List remodels and any energy equipment added since — solar, battery, charger, heat pump — then the load you want next, so the plan accounts for what is already connected.
What happened, and any paperwork
The City of Davis issues the permit and PG&E handles the supply, so send any interconnection or inspection paperwork you hold for existing solar or storage.
Electrical permits in Davis
-
Permit and inspection
Panel or service work generally needs both, through the City of Davis.
-
Utility coordination
PG&E may need to disconnect and reconnect the service after the inspection clears, and whether it is involved at all depends on the work.
Helpful guides
Outage: utility or home?
A broad outage usually starts with the utility. A partial outage or a condition isolated to one property may need an electrician.
Read guideWhen a panel needs replacing
What matters is not how old the box looks. It is whether the equipment, condition, capacity, and repair path still fit the property.
Read guideLevel 2 EV charger
Start with parking, charging needs, panel capacity, and the circuit route. The charger itself is only one part of the installation.

Questions about electrical work in Davis
Coverage, outages, permits, and what to expect when you call.
Do you work in Davis?
Yes. Davis is on Litel Electric's confirmed coverage list.
Which utility supplies Davis?
PG&E supplies Davis, so an outage that covers the street starts with them. If only your property is dark, that points at your own equipment — call and say what you can see.
How do I confirm my address is covered?
Send the address. Boundaries here do not follow the postal name — an address that posts as Davis can sit outside the city limits, which changes which office permits the work — so the answer comes from the address rather than the town.
How fast can you get here?
Call and tell us what happened. We will ask what you can see, hear, or smell, and tell you what to do next — sometimes the right advice is to leave everything alone until someone looks at it.
We have solar in Davis — does that change a panel replacement?
It can, so say so at the start. Davis has a long energy history, but what matters is your own setup: tell us whether solar, a battery or a charger is already connected and send any interconnection paperwork. The City of Davis permits and PG&E handles the supply.
About Davis
Davis has worked on household electricity use since the energy crisis of 1973 — in 1981 the town won a hundred-thousand-dollar prize from its utility for cutting its summer peak, and Village Homes in the west of town was built around solar. That history does not tell us what any one house can carry today; the service still has to be checked at the property.
