Electrical work in Nevada County

Nevada County is Grass Valley, Nevada City and the wooded foothills around them, plus Truckee over the summit. Older homes, long driveways, wells and some of the state's most frequent fire-season shutoffs make standby generators and outage-ready checks the biggest share of the work, then panel and service upgrades on homes with original electrical. Unincorporated areas permit through the Nevada County Building Department; Grass Valley, Nevada City and Truckee issue their own.

Common questions from Nevada County homeowners

Do you serve all of Nevada County?

We serve the towns listed on this page from our Grass Valley office. If your town is not listed, ask us; we may still be able to help, and we will tell you honestly if we cannot.

Who pulls the permit in Nevada County?

We do. Unincorporated areas go through the county building department and the cities issue their own. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and list the fee on your quote.

Which utility serves Nevada County?

It depends on the town. Truckee Donner Public Utility District serves Truckee; PG&E serves Grass Valley, Alta Sierra, Lake Wildwood, Lake of the Pines and 7 more. Chief Electric is an independent contractor and is not affiliated with any utility. The utility is only involved when a job touches the service or the meter.
