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.

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.

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.

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.
Outlet & Switch Installations in Folsom
Folsom outlet work is not a Roseville Electric clone. Most of Folsom sits on SMUD, and receptacle jobs that need a permit go through City of Folsom Building Services. Housing stock splits the ask: Historic Folsom and Sutter Street-adjacent homes still show 2-prong and missing kitchen/bath GFCI, while Empire Ranch, Broadstone, and Folsom Ranch south of Highway 50 more often want USB, tamper-resistant, and smart-switch upgrades on builder finishes.
We are licensed and insured in California (Lic. #1099728). Primary delivery ZIP is 95630. We pull City of Folsom permits when the job adds locations or new circuits, and we tell you up front when a like-for-like swap stays permit-free.
Signs Your Outlets or Switches Need a Licensed Electrician
These are the Folsom calls we see most – and a few that should not wait.
- Warm cover plates or buzzing switches – loose connections, not a cosmetic quirk.
- Dead receptacles that keep dying after a reset.
- Missing GFCI in kitchens, baths, garage, or outdoor locations.
- 2-prong ungrounded outlets in older Historic Folsom stock.
- Remodel adds that need new outlet locations or a new circuit.
- Smart switch plans where the box may not have a neutral.
Why Folsom Outlet Work Follows City Rules
City of Folsom Building Services is the AHJ inside city limits. SMUD covers most meters. That combo differs from Placer County Roseville Electric jobs and from unincorporated Sacramento County processes nearby. We confirm edge-case utility pockets on the estimate instead of guessing from a map printout. Visit our Folsom electrician hub for city-wide services, or the metro Sacramento outlet and switch page for the regional parent.
Outlet and Switch Services in Folsom
Licensed techs only – no handyman swap. Same-city Folsom work we already run includes panel upgrades, EV charging installs, and ceiling fan installs if you want those stacked on one visit.
GFCI Installation and Upgrades
California code expects GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, outdoors, and near water. Older Historic Folsom homes often miss pieces of that map. We install the right devices, verify protection, and leave you with a clear record of what changed.
New Outlet and Circuit Addition
Adding a receptacle where none exists – office, garage bench, island – usually means a new run and a City of Folsom permit. We handle the application, the install, and the inspection close-out. Call (916) 307-0990 to scope distance and panel capacity first.
USB, Tamper-Resistant, and Smart Outlet Upgrades
Like-for-like device upgrades in Empire Ranch, Broadstone, and Folsom Ranch are often same-box swaps. Tamper-resistant devices meet current code expectations in homes with kids. We match the device to the circuit, not the other way around.
Switch Replacement and Smart Switches
Standard rocker swaps are straightforward. Smart switches need a neutral in most products – we open the box and check before you buy a kit that will not land. Three-ways and multi-location setups get mapped so travelers stay correct.
Ungrounded 2-Prong Correction
Two-prong devices mean no equipment ground. Options are a GFCI retrofit marked for no equipment ground, or a new grounded circuit from the panel when full grounding is the right call. We price both paths after we see the wiring.
How Permits Work for Folsom Receptacle Jobs
Same-location, same-type replacements usually stay permit-free. New locations, new circuits, and configuration changes need City of Folsom Building Services. We pull what the job requires and schedule inspection instead of leaving you with an open card.

Why Folsom Homeowners Call Old Town Electric
- We separate Historic Folsom stock from master-planned south-of-50 builds instead of one generic script.
- Licensed and insured – CA Lic. #1099728.
- Code-correct GFCI and device work to current NEC expectations.
- City of Folsom permits handled when the scope needs them.
- Diagnose first when a dead outlet might be an upstream GFCI, not the visible device.

Replacing an existing outlet in Folsom typically runs $100-$200 per device depending on type (standard, GFCI, USB, tamper-resistant). Adding a new outlet with a circuit extension is often $250-$500+, and a full new circuit from the panel commonly runs $400-$800+ based on distance and panel capacity. City of Folsom permit fees apply when the scope needs one. Call (916) 307-0990 for a free estimate on your home.
GFCI protection is required by California electrical code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor locations, and near sinks or water. Older Historic Folsom homes often miss some of those locations. We can audit coverage and bring the required spots up to current standards without inventing work you do not need.
Two-prong means ungrounded. A GFCI retrofit can provide shock protection and be marked for no equipment ground when that path fits code. Full grounding means new wire from the panel and costs more. We assess both options after we see the circuit and give you a clear recommendation - common on older Historic Folsom stock.
Same-location, same-type replacements generally do not need a permit. New outlet locations, new circuits, or configuration changes need a permit from City of Folsom Building Services. We pull required permits and close inspections as part of the job.
Most smart switches need a neutral in the box. We open the device and check before you buy hardware. If the box has no neutral, we discuss compatible products or a wiring update instead of forcing a dead install. Call (916) 307-0990 or request a free estimate to get on the schedule.
