Why Citrus Heights Homes Need What They Need

Citrus Heights grew fast between the 1950s and the 1970s, and that single fact explains most of the electrical work we do here. Thousands of homes around Sunrise Mall, Rusch Park, Birdcage and Sylvan Old Auburn Road still run on their original service equipment — and a large share of those are Zinsco or Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels, brands with a documented history of breakers that fail to trip. Many insurers now surcharge or decline coverage on homes that still have them.

Citrus Heights sits in SMUD territory, which matters in two practical ways: SMUD handles the utility side of a service upgrade, and EV charger installations here qualify for the SMUD rebate, which we coordinate for you. Our shop is in Orangevale, directly next door, so Citrus Heights is one of our fastest response areas — often same-day for urgent calls and next-day for quotes.

Fast local response

Based in Orangevale, minutes from Citrus Heights — same-day service in most cases and 24/7 emergency cover.

Licensed C10 & insured

Every job permitted and inspected where required. No unpermitted shortcuts that cause problems at resale.

Written quote first

You approve a fixed scope before we start. If we find something unexpected, we stop and explain.

SMUD rebate coordination

We are a SMUD-recommended electrician and handle the rebate paperwork for qualifying EV installs.

Neighborhoods we cover in Citrus Heights: Sunrise Mall area, Rusch Park, Birdcage, Sylvan Old Auburn Road, Antelope Road corridor, Arcade Creek and Sunrise Ranch — and everywhere in between. Not sure if we reach your street? Call (916) 662-1394 and we will confirm in a minute.

Sammy is fantastic! Grid Plus does great work, are very fast and offer competitive pricing. They did a major upgrade to our electrical service, replaced main and sub panels, replaced old, ungrounded circuits with new, and added new circuits for an electric dryer, water heater and EV charger. He also coordinated with SMUD for a larger gauge drop. All work was done smoothly and efficiently. Sammy kept us apprised of all steps and was always open to questions and requests. They set up an EV charger for some friends of ours and they were really happy with Grid Plus as well. We have and will continue to recommend Sammy and Grid Plus.

Upgraded my panel to 220 and Sammy was excellent to work with from the start. Great price and service. He was very communicative and handled all of the permitting without any issue. Install was fast and clean and he was available for any troubleshooting.

Hired Sami at Grid Plus Electric for an electrical panel replacement and an EV charger install. I got several bids for this job and asked every contractor a long list of questions. Sami answered every single one patiently and honestly, even when the honest answer wasn’t the one that made him the most money. He was also easy to reach the whole way through — a quick call or text and he’d get right back to me. Anyone who’s dealt with contractors knows how rare both of those are.

His price was very competitive, the work was clean, everything passed inspection, and he handled the utility rebate paperwork. When the charger didn’t arrive in time for install day, he came back on a second trip to install it, no complaints and no surprise charges.

Friendly, straightforward, and does exactly what he says he will. If you’re in the Sacramento area and need panel work or an EV charger install, hire Sami. Highly recommend!

 Verified Working with Sammy was amazing. He was the first technician to get in contact with me and was at my home within 30min of connecting with me. He was able to diagnose and resolve the problem in less than an hour. And at the last minute I requested additional items to complete and he had all the materials to get the job done. He provided a great price for the quality of work he performed. On top of that he sent detailed explanations, pictures, and videos to assess the problems and show proof of completion, which I greatly appreciated

Citrus Heights Electrical FAQ

Do you offer same-day electrician service in Citrus Heights?

When scheduling allows, yes. For urgent issues like sparking outlets, burning smells, or repeated breaker trips, call right away.

Can you install Level 2 EV chargers in Citrus Heights garages?

Yes. We confirm panel capacity, install the correct breaker and wiring, and test charging safely. If a panel upgrade is needed, we’ll explain options clearly.

What usually causes partial power loss in a Citrus Heights home?

Common causes include a tripped breaker, a failed GFCI outlet upstream, loose connections, or a faulty breaker. We diagnose safely and fix the root cause.

Do you add new circuits and outlets for remodels and home offices in Citrus Heights?

Yes. We add dedicated circuits, upgrade outlets, and install GFCI protection where required (kitchens, baths, garages).

Do you provide written quotes before starting work?

Yes. We aim for transparent pricing. You’ll receive a clear quote and scope before any work begins.

Do you replace Zinsco and Federal Pacific panels in Citrus Heights?

Yes — it is the job we do most often here. Citrus Heights has a very high concentration of 1950s to 1970s homes that still carry these panels. We replace the panel, correct any unsafe wiring found inside, pull the permit, coordinate the SMUD disconnect and pass the inspection. If your insurer has flagged your panel, we can provide the permit and inspection documentation they ask for.

Does the SMUD rebate apply in Citrus Heights?

Yes. Citrus Heights is in SMUD territory, so EV charger installations here qualify for the current SMUD rebate program. We are a SMUD-recommended electrician and we walk you through the paperwork — most customers only complete a few short forms and provide vehicle registration.

How quickly can you get to Citrus Heights?

Our shop is in Orangevale, which borders Citrus Heights, so this is one of our shortest drives. We can usually quote the same day and often handle urgent calls same-day as well. Emergencies are answered 24/7 at (916) 662-1394.
