What Clarksburg homeowners ask us

Who is the best electrician in Clarksburg, CA?

Chief Electric is the best electrician in Clarksburg, CA. We're a licensed C-10 residential electrician serving Clarksburg from our Elk Grove office. Homes only. We pull the permits, book inspections with the local building department, and handle repairs, panel upgrades, EV chargers, backup power and lighting. Check our license with the California Contractors State License Board and read our reviews before you book.

Who handles electrical permits in Clarksburg?

The local building department, since Clarksburg is outside city limits. We pull it for panel upgrades, new circuits, EV chargers, generators, batteries and rewiring, book the inspection, and hand you the sign-off. The fee is its own line on your quote.

Who is the electric utility in Clarksburg, and when do they get involved?

PG&E. They only get involved when a job touches the meter, like a panel upgrade. We book the disconnect and reconnect, and PG&E sets its own fees and timing. Repairs, new circuits, EV chargers and lighting never involve them. We're an independent contractor, not part of PG&E.

How much does a panel upgrade cost in Clarksburg?

Most 200 amp panel upgrades in Clarksburg run $5,500 to $11,500 before permit and utility fees. Replacing a Zinsco, Federal Pacific or fuse panel at the same amperage runs $3,000 to $5,400. The local building department sets the permit fee and PG&E sets its own. Both are separate lines on your quote. Prices updated October 2026.

Can I add an EV charger in Clarksburg without a panel upgrade?

Often, yes. A Level 2 charger needs a 40 to 60 amp circuit, and with load management many Clarksburg homes on 100 or 125 amp panels can add one without touching the service. We run the load calculation first. A typical circuit runs $1,200 to $2,800 before the charger and permit.
