Electrician in North Highlands, CA.
Litel Electric is a licensed C-10 electrician in North Highlands — panels, EV charger circuits, lighting, rewiring and 24-hour faults. The town filled in fast around the old air base, but two services built the same year rarely match today, so we work from your address. Sacramento County permits this unincorporated area; SMUD supplies the power.

What to tell us about the property
Large stretches of this community reached the same age at the same time, and that tempts a comparison with the house next door. It is not a safe one: two services built in the same year can have had four decades of different work done to them since. Send the build year on your records, every upgrade since, and the amperage marked on your main breaker, and we scope it from the address rather than the street.
The address, the meter and the panel
Send the address with a clear photo of the main panel label and the meter, including any numbers stamped on the panel door or on the inside cover.
What the house is, and what you are adding
Give the build year on your records and every upgrade since, then describe the new load: charger amperage, heat pump size, or the circuits a remodel will need.
What happened, and any paperwork
Because this is unincorporated, Sacramento County is the permit authority — send any county paperwork you have, and say whether neighboring homes lost power with yours.
Electrical permits in North Highlands

Permit and inspection
Panel or service work generally needs both, through Sacramento County.
-
Utility coordination
SMUD 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 North Highlands
Coverage, outages, permits, and what to expect when you call.
Do you work in North Highlands?
Yes. North Highlands is on Litel Electric's confirmed coverage list.
Which utility supplies North Highlands?
SMUD supplies North Highlands, 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 North Highlands 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 being outside city limits in North Highlands change who inspects the work?
It changes the office. North Highlands is unincorporated, so Sacramento County issues the permit and inspects rather than a city building department, and SMUD stays the utility on the supply side. We confirm both against the exact address before filing.
About North Highlands
