Getting an electrician to your Roseville address
Tell the service desk your neighborhood or ZIP code and what is going on. We connect you with an independent electrician who takes work in Roseville, and that electrician handles the estimate, any permit and the work itself.
Roseville callers often reach us for the same reasons as the rest of the region: breakers that will not reset, outlets that stopped working, a new circuit for the garage or kitchen, or a planned upgrade such as an EV charger.
Roseville Electric and panel upgrades
Roseville is different from most of the Sacramento area because the city runs its own power company. Roseville Electric describes itself as your community owned utility, serving the residents and businesses of the city, so Roseville homes are not SMUD customers.
That matters for panel work. Roseville Electric asks customers to submit its Electrical Panel Upgrade Application before applying for a building permit, and the utility says it will make contact within two business days. Ask the electrician you are connected with to start that application early so the utility side does not hold up your project.

Planning an EV charger in Roseville
Roseville Electric runs its own residential EV program, separate from SMUD's incentives, so check the utility's current terms before you buy a charger. Program details change, and some incentives require approval before installation.
Then ask the electrician for a load calculation. It shows whether your panel can take a Level 2 charger as is, needs a load sharing device, or needs an upgrade, which in Roseville also means the utility's panel upgrade application.
