Electrician for Davis Homes and Businesses

Reaching an electrician in Davis

Davis is across the Yolo Causeway from Sacramento, so it helps to say you are in Davis when you call. We connect you with an independent electrician who takes work in the city, and they handle the estimate, permit and work.

Landlords and property managers can call for tenant repairs too. Tell us the unit, the access arrangements and whether the tenant has been notified.

If the job is urgent, such as a warm outlet, a burning smell or a breaker that trips the moment you reset it, say so first. The service desk will try to connect you with an electrician available at that hour.

Permits through the Davis Building Division

The Davis Building Division publishes residential and commercial EV charging checklists alongside its permit applications. It accepts online submittals for minor mechanical and plumbing permits and asks for other permit applications to be emailed, with processing quoted at five to ten business days.

That lead time matters for projects such as an EV charger or a panel upgrade, so ask the electrician to submit the permit as soon as you approve the estimate.

Which utility serves your Davis address

Davis is in Yolo County. SMUD's territory includes only small slices of Yolo County, so check your bill to see which utility serves your address. That is the company to contact about meters, outages and service connections.

Services Davis callers ask about

• EV Charger Installation: Home charging, following the city's residential EV checklist.
• Whole House Rewiring: Replacing aging or ungrounded wiring throughout a home.
• Electrical Safety Inspections: A full system check before buying, renting out or remodeling.
• Multifamily Electrical Maintenance: Repairs and upkeep for rental units and shared areas.

Electrical work for Davis rentals

Rental homes and small apartment buildings see heavy use and frequent turnover. Common requests include replacing worn outlets and switches, adding GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms, updating smoke alarm wiring and fixing circuits overloaded by space heaters and window units.

Owners planning several repairs can bundle them into one visit, and an electrical safety inspection between tenants gives a written record of the property's condition. Ask the electrician which items need a permit before work begins, so the Building Division's processing time is built into your turnover schedule.
