Electrician in Sacramento, CA.
Litel Electric is a licensed C-10 electrician in Sacramento — panel replacements, EV charger circuits, lighting, rewiring and 24-hour fault-finding. One street here can hold houses wired to three different decades of code, so the work is scoped from your address, not the year on the sign. Permits go through the City of Sacramento; SMUD supplies the power.

What to tell us about the property
The address decides the era here — the same street can hold a pre-war bungalow, a postwar ranch and infill from the last decade, each built to the code of its own decade. Send the year your building went up if you know it, every remodel or addition since, and what you want to add now. If the property has a second structure with power — a garage, a shop, an ADU — say so.
The address, the meter and the panel
Send the full address and photos of the panel with the door open, the main breaker label especially. Older properties sometimes still run a second, earlier panel — photograph both if you have them.
What the house is, and what you are adding
List the year the building went up and every remodel or addition since, then what you are adding — an EV charger, HVAC, an ADU, a shop circuit.
What happened, and any paperwork
Say whether the whole block lost power or only your property, and whether SMUD has been out to the address recently for anything.
Electrical permits in Sacramento

Permit and inspection
Panel or service work generally needs both, through the City of Sacramento.
-
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 Sacramento
Coverage, outages, permits, and what to expect when you call.
Do you work in Sacramento?
Yes. Sacramento is on Litel Electric's confirmed coverage list.
Which utility supplies Sacramento?
SMUD supplies Sacramento, 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 Sacramento 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.
My house is pre-war — can it take an EV charger or new HVAC?
Often, but the panel decides, not the year. What the service carries today and what space is left in the panel get checked first; where capacity is short, that is a conversation about upgrading before it is one about the new equipment. Send the panel photos with the address and we confirm it from those.
About Sacramento
Sacramento grew in rings — older neighborhoods near the center, postwar tracts around them, then newer infill — so a single street can hold houses wired to the code of three different decades. What that means for any one home is settled at the address, not the year it went up.
