    Licensed electrical panel upgrade contractor in Rocklin, CA

    A house in Stanford Ranch or Whitney Oaks built during Rocklin’s growth years usually shipped with a 100-amp or 125-amp panel, sized for a smaller home with fewer appliances running at once. Add central air, an EV charger, and a kitchen with a few more circuits than the builder planned for, and that same panel starts tripping breakers or refusing to keep up. Some of it is age. Some of it is just a panel that was never built for the way the house is used today.

    Old town electric was fantastic! I needed a new circuit box and from start to finish their service was great. They responded promptly to my needs sending someone out the same day to look at the problem and give me a quote within hours.
    They took care of all permits and inspections and kept me updated. The day of the replacement a whole crew showed up and replaced everything, answered all my questions, worked with SMUD, and before leaving checked every plug inside and outside the house and labeled inside circuit box.
    I highly recommend this wonderful company!
    Also they always answer the phone and keep you posted what will happen and when.

    OldTown Electric did a great job replacing my old power panel. The wiring is so clean on the new panel and the labels are a plus. The replacement took less than 8 hours. They also patched the stucco and the stucco patch matches my current stucco. I highly recommend them for electrical work.
    Old Town Electric is super responsive, very customer service oriented, and extremely thorough with their work. In a word, they are impeccable.

    I have used Old Town Electric for a number of projects at my house in Newport, Ranging from updating my main power feed to the house from the street (Thereby removing a safety hazard), adding power to the end of my pier for my boat lift and lighting, installing a mobile generator outlet outside of my house, providing power to my Shed, and most recently to square away a faulty pool pump timer. In each and every case, they were extremely professional and punctual and did a complete and thorough job. I give them my highest recommendation.

    Vasyl did a great job installing my new EV Charger and upgrading my panel. His company took care of all the permits, he was prompt and professional, and his bid came in at a very competitive price in comparison with other local electricians. It was a hassle free experience from beginning to end. I’d recommend him with no hesitation.

    Highly recommend Old Town Electric. They completed full custom wiring and lights throughout our entire house, and the quality of their work was excellent. They were professional, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail from start to finish. Everything was done neatly, on time, and exactly how we wanted. Communication was great throughout the whole process, and they made sure all our questions were answered. Our home’s electrical system turned out even better than we expected. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely use them again!

    I recently hired an Old town electric and was very impressed with the quality of work. They arrived on time, were professional, and clearly explained what needed to be done before starting. The job was completed efficiently, and everything was left clean and organized afterward. What stood out most was their attention to detail and commitment to safety, they made sure everything was up to code and working perfectly before leaving. The pricing was fair with no surprises, which I appreciated. Overall, it was a smooth and stress-free experience, and I would definitely recommend this electrician to anyone looking for reliable and skilled service.

    Old Town Electric did a fabulous job running power 400 feet from the service to our barn, installing a subpanel, 30 overhead lights in our covered arena and barn, light switches and plugs throughout, and all the conduit. They were customer service oriented, professional, respectful, thorough, and the price was just right. Old Town Electric will be the first electricians I call in the future!! Well done! Tom Taylor

    I am completely happy with Old Town Electric's service. Not only did they provide a competitive quote for my EV charger installation, they walked me through the app setup and explained the work they did on the panel. They arrived on time for their appointment and quickly completed the work. I will most definitely reach out to them for other projects it the future.

    It’s been about a month now since we had OldTown install Gemstone Lights on the front of the house. I wanted to wait a bit to give an honest review and we could not be happier with their communication, quality of install and the Gemstone light product. I would highly recommend them for permanent lighting in the future. We plan to use them for our next projects. Thank you Old Town Electric!!!

    We found them to be very professional they understood what we wanted to accomplish they provided useful information and they completed the job within a reasonable time frame. We would highly recommend them.

    Installation of camera with transformer.

    Not picture but installation of fan with heater and light in bathroom.

    Having a carport/storage shed(16'X24') I needed to have the power line raised from pole to house(County Code).

    They were prompt on the day of work. They noticed somethings that needed to be brought up to code. They explained what needed to be done, the way they were going to do it and the cost.

    I noticed the pictures are not in order. SMUD disconnecting the power line, the electrician installing the raiser, SMUD connecting the power line to utility box.

    What was to be expected was the wait for SMUD, the county and SMUD. In this kind of work you are on their schedule and not the other way around.

    The electricians did their work on a timely basis.

    I continue to call them for an electrical work and ethernet connection.

    In the process of having a carport and storage shed with power build in backyard.

    County inspector after passing inspection on footing and forms suggested that I have a ground rebar installed.

    I contacted OldTown Electric Inc. who I had previously made arrangements to run a power line along with two cables for security cameras an Ethernet line to the storage shed part of the structure.

    They were prompt, professional and courteous.

    Main Panel Upgrades in Rocklin

    Old Town Electric pulls the permit through the City of Rocklin Building Division, schedules the PG&E disconnect and reconnect around your day, and handles the final inspection so the paperwork matches the work. You don’t have to call PG&E yourself or figure out which form the city wants.

    • Permits pulled directly with the City of Rocklin Building Division, not a third party
    • PG&E disconnect and reconnect scheduled and coordinated for you

    • Most 200-amp upgrades completed in one day

    What a Rocklin Panel Upgrade Actually Involves

    Every panel job starts the same way here: we look at what your house is actually running, not just what the panel is rated for on paper.

    Full 200-Amp Panel Replacement

    This is the most common call we get from Rocklin, a full swap of an old 100-amp or 125-amp panel for a 200-amp service that can carry central air, an EV charger, and a full kitchen without tripping. We size the new panel to your actual electrical load, not a generic number, and pull the City of Rocklin permit before any wire gets touched. See our panel upgrade and repair page for how we scope a job before quoting it.

    Panel Upgrades Ahead of an EV Charger or New AC Unit

    A lot of Rocklin panel calls start with someone trying to install a Level 2 EV charger or replace an aging AC unit, only to find the existing panel has no room left. We check available capacity first and tell you honestly whether a full panel swap is needed or whether a smaller fix gets you there. Ask us for a free load assessment before you buy equipment that won’t fit your current service.

    Subpanel Installation for Garages, Shops, and Additions

    Rocklin’s larger lots in neighborhoods like Whitney Ranch and Clover Valley Woods often mean a detached garage, a workshop, or an ADU that needs its own circuits. A subpanel keeps that load off the main panel and gives you dedicated breakers for tools, chargers, or a future build-out, all pulled under its own permit.

    Retroactive Permits for Older, Unpermitted Panel Work

    Homes in the older sections of Rocklin near downtown sometimes have a subpanel or garage circuit that was added years ago without a permit. That surfaces during a home sale or an insurance inspection more often than people expect. We can bring that work up to current code and get it properly permitted with the city, closing the gap before it becomes a problem at closing.


    Get Your Free Panel Upgrade Estimate in Rocklin

    Tell us what’s tripping or what you’re trying to add, and we’ll give you a straight answer on what it takes. Call or text (916) 307-0990 or request a free estimate online.


    What Working With Us on a Rocklin Panel Job Looks Like

    We pull the City of Rocklin permit ourselves and schedule the required final inspection, so you’re not the one tracking down paperwork.

    PG&E coordination happens on our end too. We arrange the disconnect before the old panel comes out and the reconnect once the new one passes inspection, and we plan around it so your power is down for as little time as possible.

    Every panel upgrade comes with a written estimate before we start, and that number doesn’t move once the scope is set.

    Old Town has been doing this work across the Sacramento area for over ten years, and it’s still a family-run crew, not a call center dispatching whoever’s closest.

    If a panel fails outright, breakers won’t reset or you smell something burning, we run 24/7 emergency service and won’t leave a Rocklin home without power overnight.


    Panel Work Across Rocklin’s Neighborhoods

    We work panel jobs across both Rocklin ZIP codes, 95677 and 95765, from the master-planned streets of Whitney Ranch, Whitney Oaks, Stanford Ranch, and Sunset Whitney to the older lots near downtown Rocklin and Clover Valley Woods. For general electrical work beyond panels, our Rocklin electrician page covers the full range of services we run in the city.


    Ready When You Are

    A flickering breaker or a panel that can’t take one more circuit doesn’t have to turn into a bigger project than it needs to be. Reach out, tell us what’s going on, and we’ll walk you through what a fix actually looks like before you commit to anything.

    (916) 307-0990 | Request Your Free Estimate

    Most 200-amp panel upgrades in Rocklin run in the $2,500 to $4,500 range, including the City of Rocklin permit. The exact number depends on your current panel size, how much rewiring is involved, and whether a service line upgrade from PG&E is needed. We give free, written estimates before any work starts, call (916) 307-0990.

    Yes. The City of Rocklin Building Division requires a permit for any electrical panel upgrade or replacement, along with a final inspection once the work is done. Old Town Electric handles the application, the Electric Load Worksheet, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.

    No, we handle that. Rocklin is PG&E territory, and the city's process requires coordinating a disconnect before the old panel comes out and a reconnect once the new one is installed and inspected. We schedule both sides of that with PG&E so you don't have to.

    Most single-family upgrades are done in one day, from disconnect to reconnect. Jobs that also need a service line upgrade, a meter relocation, or significant rewiring can run two to three days. We'll tell you which one your house is before we start.

    Yes. This comes up often in Rocklin's older neighborhoods, usually a garage or shop subpanel added without a permit years ago. We can inspect the existing work, bring it up to current code where needed, and pull a retroactive permit with the city so it's documented and passes inspection. Call (916) 307-0990 or request an estimate.
