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.

Most 200 amp panel upgrades in Olivehurst 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.

Often, yes. A Level 2 charger needs a 40 to 60 amp circuit, and with load management many Olivehurst 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.
