Do you serve customers in Downtown Sacramento, or just Elk Grove?

We serve a large area across Sacramento County and beyond. Downtown Sacramento, South Sacramento, West Sacramento, Florin, Elk Grove, Galt, Lodi, Rancho Murieta, Wilton, Manteca, Modesto, Stockton, and many other communities are all within our service area. If you're not sure whether we cover your address, call us, and we'll confirm.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?

A few signs your panel is overdue: breakers that trip repeatedly under normal load, breakers that feel warm to the touch, a fuse box that predates 1990, flickering lights when large appliances kick on, or a panel that's already been recalled (Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco are two we see often in older Sacramento-area homes). If you're planning a kitchen remodel, adding an EV charger, or finishing a basement, check the panel capacity before you start. Most older homes in Downtown Sacramento are running 100-amp service, and today's load typically needs 200.

What electrical work requires a permit in Sacramento County?

Most significant electrical work requires a permit: panel upgrades, new circuit installation, service entrance changes, EV charger installation, generator hookups, and major wiring work. Permit requirements ensure the work is inspected and meets the California electrical code. We handle the permit application and inspection process as part of the job. You won't need to manage that side of things.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most panel upgrades in a standard residential home take one full day. That includes removing the old panel, installing the new one, reconnecting all circuits, and passing the inspection. Occasionally, SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District) coordination adds a day if the meter needs to be pulled, but we'll give you an accurate timeline before we start.

Do you install EV chargers for all types of electric vehicles?

Yes. We install Level 2 charging stations compatible with all major EV brands, including Tesla, Ford, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Rivian, and others. We'll assess your panel capacity, recommend the right charger and circuit size, and handle the installation from start to finish. If your panel needs an upgrade to support the charger, we can do both in the same visit.

What's the difference between a whole house surge protector and a plug-in surge protector?

Plug-in surge protectors at the outlet level handle small surges from inside your home. A whole house surge protector is installed at the main panel and stops large voltage spikes at the point of entry, before they reach your wiring or devices. That includes surges from lightning, utility switching events, and grid fluctuations. For homes with a lot of electronics, smart systems, or sensitive appliances, panel-level protection is worth the investment.

Do you work on commercial properties as well as residential?

Yes. We serve residential customers and small commercial businesses across the Sacramento area. Commercial services include LED retrofits, dedicated circuits, security system wiring, and smart building electrical work. If you have a larger commercial project, call us to discuss scope, and we'll let you know if it's a fit.

What discounts do you offer?

We offer 10% off for veterans, active military, seniors, and first responders. Discount applies to labor on qualifying services. Let us know when you schedule so we can apply it to your estimate.

Our Services When You Need an Electrician in Downtown Sacramento, CA

Electrical Panel Upgrades

A 100-amp panel made sense in 1985. It doesn't make sense today. We upgrade main breaker panels and fuse boxes to modern 200-amp service so your home can handle the load safely. We pull all required permits and handle the inspection.

EV Charging Station Installation

Level 2 EV chargers need a dedicated 240-volt circuit and properly sized breakers. We install EV charging stations in garages and driveways across Downtown Sacramento, Elk Grove, and the surrounding areas. We'll also verify your panel has the capacity before we start.

Whole House Surge Protection

A single power surge can fry your HVAC system, appliances, or home office electronics. Whole house surge protection is installed at the panel and stops surges before they reach your devices. One of the smarter investments you can make in an older home.

Interior and Exterior Lighting Upgrades

We handle interior lighting upgrades, recessed lighting installs, and exterior lighting, including landscape and holiday lighting. We also offer LED retrofits for residential and small commercial spaces that cut energy costs fast.

Dedicated Circuits for Appliances

High-draw appliances like ranges, dryers, hot tubs, and HVAC equipment need dedicated circuits. Running them on shared circuits trips breakers and, over time, wears down wiring. We install dedicated circuits to the right spec the first time.

Generator Installation

We install whole home generators, backup systems, and standby generators. If the power goes out, your lights, fridge, and life-supporting equipment stay on. Note: We install and connect generators but do not perform generator repairs.

Smart Home Electrical Systems

From smart lighting controls to whole-home automation wiring, we install the electrical infrastructure behind smart home systems. We also handle commercial security system wiring for small businesses in the Sacramento area.

Hot Tub and Spa Electrical Installation

Hot tubs require a dedicated 240-volt GFCI-protected circuit and a disconnect box installed within sight of the unit. We do these installs to code, with permits and inspections.

Why Downtown Sacramento Homeowners Call Mr. Electric of Elk Grove

Our team brings an average of 20 years of hands-on electrical experience to every job. That's not a marketing line. It means when one of our electricians looks at your panel, they've probably seen the same setup a few hundred times before. They know what the manufacturer did wrong, what the previous electrician missed, and what to watch for on the next inspection.

A few things that make a difference:

Free electrical inspection on every service call. You called about one thing. We'll let you know if there's anything else worth looking at while we're there.

10% discount for veterans, active military, seniors, and first responders. No hoops. Just mention it when you call.

Advantage Plan membership gets you a 2+ year warranty on most services. If something isn't right after we leave, we come back.

We pull permits and handle electronic plan checks. Some electricians skip the permit step because it adds time. We don't. Permitted work protects your home's resale value and keeps your homeowner's insurance intact.

We cover a wide service area. Downtown Sacramento, Elk Grove, South Sacramento, Florin, West Sacramento, Lodi, Galt, Manteca, Modesto, Rancho Murieta, Wilton, and more across Sacramento County and the surrounding region.
