Pacific West Electric - Sacramento's Qualified Electrical Contractor

This is a common concern in our area's historic homes, which often have aging electrical panels and wiring that can't handle modern power demands. Pacific West Electric specializes in diagnosing these issues. We typically start with a thorough electrical inspection to assess your panel's capacity and the condition of your wiring. The solution often involves a panel upgrade to a higher amperage service, which enhances safety, prevents nuisance tripping, and provides the stable power needed for today's appliances and devices, all while ensuring full compliance with current electrical codes.

Installing an electric vehicle charging station is a smart upgrade for Sacramento-area residents. The process begins with our team evaluating your home's existing electrical panel to ensure it has the capacity for a new, dedicated 240-volt circuit. We then handle the entire installation, from running the proper gauge wiring to mounting the charging unit and configuring it for optimal performance. As a C10 licensed contractor, we ensure the installation meets all local permitting and safety requirements, giving you a reliable and fast-charging solution right at home.

Absolutely. Water intrusion in outdoor outlets is a frequent problem we address for Sacramento homeowners. Moisture can cause corrosion, short circuits, and pose serious shock hazards. We will inspect the affected outlet and its wiring, repair or replace any damaged components, and install a new, weatherproof outlet with a proper In-Use Cover (or "bubble cover") as required by code. This specific upgrade is crucial for our climate, as it seals the outlet even when a plug is inserted, preventing future water damage and ensuring long-lasting safety for your outdoor lighting, tools, or holiday decorations.
