Electrical work in Sacramento County

Sacramento County is the biggest part of our service area: the city and its older neighborhoods, the postwar suburbs of Arden-Arcade, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks and Orangevale, newer tracts in Elk Grove, Folsom and Rancho Cordova, and the Delta and farm towns south to Galt. Nearly all of it is SMUD. Many 1950s to 1980s homes still have 100 amp panels, so panel upgrades, EV charger circuits and batteries on existing solar are everyday work. Unincorporated areas permit through Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspection; Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights and Galt issue their own.

Common questions from Sacramento County homeowners

Do you serve all of Sacramento County?

We serve the towns listed on this page from our Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento County?

Most homes are served by SMUD. 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.

How soon can you come out?

First come, first served. If we have a same-day opening, it's yours; if not, you get the next slot. Calling is the fastest way in.
