Electrical work in Elk Grove
Local knowledge for Elk Grove homes
Most Elk Grove homes are newer than in the older parts of the county, so outdated panel brands are less common outside Old Town and the older neighborhoods. What comes up most is capacity: adding EV chargers, converting to electric appliances and putting more load on 125 to 200 amp services.
Elk Grove incorporated as a city in 2000, so electrical permits go through the City of Elk Grove rather than the county. Electric service is from SMUD.
