These are approximate ranges, not quotes. They're based on typical Sacramento-area jobs. Your price depends on what we find at your home: panel condition, distance, access and permit fees. You'll get a clear price before any work starts.

Small jobs are priced by the job, not a running clock. Bigger work, like new circuits, panel changes and rewiring, includes the permit and the inspection in the quote. Access (finished walls and ceilings, stucco, crawlspaces) and what we find in older wiring are what move the number most.

Bringing an older home up to date

Many Sacramento homes were built before today's kitchens, EVs and heat pumps existed. When you remodel, add circuits or sell, these are the updates that come up most:

GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages and outdoors.

AFCI protection on bedroom and living-area circuits when those circuits are extended or modified.

Grounding for two-prong outlets, via GFCI protection or new grounded circuits.

Smoke and CO alarms. California requires carbon monoxide alarms in homes with fuel-burning appliances or an attached garage.

Panel capacity for new loads, and replacing Zinsco or Federal Pacific panels.

Rewiring of knob-and-tube or damaged circuits.

Residential electrician FAQ

Do I need a permit for home electrical work in Sacramento?

New circuits, panel work, EV chargers and most rewiring need a permit. Like-for-like replacements of an outlet, switch or fixture generally don't. We tell you up front and pull the permit when it's needed.

Can you add outlets to an older home without tearing up walls?

Usually, yes. We fish wire through existing walls, attics and crawlspaces, and keep openings small. If a patch is needed, we tell you before we start.

Should I replace two-prong outlets?

A two-prong outlet has no ground. The code-approved fixes are GFCI protection, which is labeled "No Equipment Ground", or running a new grounded circuit. Swapping in a three-prong outlet without a ground isn't safe or legal.

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

Knob-and-tube wiring, brittle or damaged insulation, frequent problems on old circuits, or an insurer asking about the wiring are the usual signs. We can inspect and tell you what actually needs replacing. It's often not the whole house.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. California CSLB license #1050318, licensed and insured.

Andre was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He did a great job installing my EV charger and made the whole process simple and hassle-free.

I can't say enough good things about Sagan Electric. Andrey installed a Level 2 EV charger at my home in Sacramento and got the job done promptly and professionally. The work looks clean and neat, and the charger has worked perfectly from day one. What really stood out was their integrity. My original quote had expired by the time I was ready to move forward, and they honored it anyway without any hassle. They're also helping me through the SMUD rebate process, which made the whole project feel much less overwhelming. It's clear they care about their customers, not just the job.

Daniel’s team was super efficient with how they handled our job. Gave us a date, showed up on time and did what they said they would. Passed the inspection easy peasy.

Great service. Everyone was polite and responded quickly. Alex and Adam did a great job of explaining and installing the system. Will use again if I ever need a new charger.

This company was amazing! When I called, they answered, and tried to go over trouble shooting with me on the phone. When we were not able to fix the issue over the hone, they came out THE SAME DAY! Not only that, they helped me determine it must be the SMUD box and helped me call SMUD to get them out the SAME DAY too! 10/10
