What to tell us about the property
If your property carries association requirements covering exterior equipment or conduit, those decide where a charger, a meter or a subpanel is allowed to sit, and finding out late means planning the work twice. Send them with the address and the construction year, along with the load you want added. Sacramento County issues the permit and SMUD handles the supply, whatever the association asks for on top of that.
The address, the meter and the panel
Send the address, the village name if you know it, and photos of the meter and main panel including anything printed on the panel label.
What the house is, and what you are adding
Note the build year and any equipment replaced since, then the load you want added, so we can plan both the work and where new equipment would sit.
What happened, and any paperwork
If your property has association requirements covering exterior equipment or conduit, send them with the address; Sacramento County issues the permit and SMUD handles the supply.

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 Gold River
Coverage, outages, permits, and what to expect when you call.
Do you work in Gold River?
Yes. Gold River is on Litel Electric's confirmed coverage list.
Which utility supplies Gold River?
SMUD supplies Gold River, 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 Gold River 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.
Does an outdoor charger or a panel change in Gold River need association approval?
That is between you and the association. Gold River was planned with a shared association, so if your property has requirements for exterior equipment, send them with the address. The permit still goes through Sacramento County and the supply through SMUD.
