Citrus Heights is a mix of eras. Neighborhoods like Sunrise Oaks, Arcade Creek, and the Sylvan Old Auburn Road area were largely built out in the 1960s and 70s, while pockets around Rusch Park, Birdcage, and the newer infill along Auburn Boulevard have homes from the 90s and 2000s. That age gap matters more than people think.
A lot of the original electrical panels in homes built in the 1960s through early 1980s — Zinsco, Federal Pacific, and early Square D — were never designed for central air, an EV charger, and a kitchen full of modern appliances running at the same time. Homeowners with panels that are now 40 to 60 years old usually find out the hard way: breakers that trip for no obvious reason, warm outlets, or a contractor pulling permits for a remodel who flags the panel before anything else can move forward. On the newer side of town, the issue is different — homes are usually wired fine for today, but owners are adding EV chargers, smart thermostats, and upgraded lighting that the original panel has less headroom for than they’d expect.
We’re based in Citrus Heights, so this isn’t guesswork — it’s most of what we see week to week.
Every neighborhood is a little different, but these are the electrical issues we run into most often while working in Citrus Heights homes.
We work throughout Citrus Heights, including Sunrise Oaks, Arcade Creek, Sunrise Ranch, Rusch Park, Birdcage, Sylvan Old Auburn Road, Park Oaks, Chase, and Northwest Citrus Heights — from the shops and homes around Sunrise Mall to the neighborhoods near Stock Ranch Nature Preserve and Arcade Creek Park Preserve.
If you notice any of the following, it may be time for a panel upgrade: breakers that trip frequently, lights that dim when appliances turn on, you’re installing an EV charger, you’re remodeling your kitchen, or your home still has a Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel. Many Citrus Heights homes still have panels that are original to the house — some are 40 to 60 years old. A panel upgrade improves both safety and capacity, and is often required before a home can pass certain remodel or resale inspections in older neighborhoods. Learn more about our Electrical Panel Upgrade services.
As more Citrus Heights homeowners buy EVs, Level 2 chargers for overnight charging have become one of our most requested installs. We check whether your panel has the capacity to support it, and if not, we handle the panel upgrade and charger install together. Learn more about our EV Charger Installation services.
A lot of original-condition Citrus Heights homes still have ungrounded two-prong outlets or worn-out switches. We replace these with grounded, GFCI, or smart switches as needed, room by room or whole-house. See our Outlet & Switch services.
Popular in kitchen and living room remodels throughout Citrus Heights. We handle both retrofit recessed lighting in homes without existing can lights and standard fixture or ceiling fan installs. Learn more about our Recessed Lighting services.
Smart switches and dimmers are a straightforward upgrade in most Citrus Heights homes, whether you’re modernizing an older room or adding scene control to a newer build. We handle the wiring, compatibility checks, and installation so the system works the way it should. Learn more about our Smart Lighting services.
Older electrical systems fail at inconvenient times. We offer emergency response for Citrus Heights homeowners dealing with tripped panels, exposed wiring, or total power loss. See our Emergency Electrician services.
Most panel upgrades, new circuits, and service changes require a permit through the City of Citrus Heights building division. Simple like-for-like repairs (swapping an outlet or switch) typically don’t. We handle permitting on jobs that require it.
It depends on the job — a single outlet repair is a very different cost than a full panel upgrade. Project estimates — panel upgrades, EV chargers, lighting, new outlet and switch work — are always free. Repair calls start with a paid diagnostic visit. See diagnostic pricing →

Yes. If there’s no existing electrical box, we can add one and run power to support a fan or fixture.
Zinsco and Federal Pacific (FPE) panels are the two most common safety concerns in older Citrus Heights homes. If you have either, it’s worth having it evaluated even if it seems to be working fine.
Common signs include breakers that trip repeatedly, a burning smell near the panel, warm or discolored outlets and switches, or lights that flicker when larger appliances turn on. If you’re seeing any of these, it’s worth having the panel evaluated.
In addition to Citrus Heights itself, we serve Sacramento, Arden-Arcade, Roseville, Granite Bay, Rocklin, Folsom, Elk Grove, and Rancho Cordova.
