Good to know about electrical work in Sacramento
SMUD service
Most of Sacramento is served by SMUD, the city’s publicly owned utility, rather than PG&E. SMUD has its own requirements and steps for service upgrades, meter work, and solar and battery interconnection. We work through those for you. SMUD
Older neighborhoods
Many of Sacramento’s older neighborhoods have homes from the early and mid 1900s. In those, we often find fuse boxes, older panels, knob-and-tube or ungrounded outlets, and small services that weren’t sized for today’s loads.

Rentals and multifamily
For landlords and property managers, we do unit panels, meter banks, common-area lighting, and safety and turnover repairs. Our free Load Calculator includes multifamily options for a first look at feeder and service sizes.
Permits
Inside city limits, electrical permits come from the City of Sacramento; unincorporated addresses go through Sacramento County. We take care of the permit and inspection.
These notes are general and meant to help you plan. Utility boundaries, permit offices and rules can change and can depend on the exact address, so we confirm them for your property before any work starts.
Free tools to plan ahead
These give a rough first look. They are estimates, not a design, and a licensed electrician should confirm anything before you buy equipment.

Common questions
Do you work in Sacramento, not just Placer County?
Yes. We are based in Auburn and work in Sacramento and across California.
My older Sacramento home has a fuse box. Does it need to be replaced?
Not always right away, but fuse boxes are often too small for modern loads and are easy to over-fuse. We can look at it and tell you honestly whether it needs to go now or can wait.
How do I reach you, and do you give free estimates?
Call (530) 401-7419, 24/7. Estimates are free. You can also send photos through Ask IES for a rough starting price before anyone comes out.
