I have been so relieved and satisfied to have found Oldtown electric. From the way they answer the phone and how the complete tasks, it felt very welcoming. They ate punctual, professional and go above and beyond! They even took my boxes for me! They came back to place light bulbs that I forgot to buy!! Definitely recommend!

Old Town Electric did a fabulous job running power 400 feet from the service to our barn, installing a subpanel, 30 overhead lights in our covered arena and barn, light switches and plugs throughout, and all the conduit. They were customer service oriented, professional, respectful, thorough, and the price was just right. Old Town Electric will be the first electricians I call in the future!! Well done! Tom Taylor

I am completely happy with Old Town Electric's service. Not only did they provide a competitive quote for my EV charger installation, they walked me through the app setup and explained the work they did on the panel. They arrived on time for their appointment and quickly completed the work. I will most definitely reach out to them for other projects it the future.

It’s been about a month now since we had OldTown install Gemstone Lights on the front of the house. I wanted to wait a bit to give an honest review and we could not be happier with their communication, quality of install and the Gemstone light product. I would highly recommend them for permanent lighting in the future. We plan to use them for our next projects. Thank you Old Town Electric!!!

We found them to be very professional they understood what we wanted to accomplish they provided useful information and they completed the job within a reasonable time frame. We would highly recommend them.

Installation of camera with transformer.

Not picture but installation of fan with heater and light in bathroom.

Having a carport/storage shed(16'X24') I needed to have the power line raised from pole to house(County Code).

They were prompt on the day of work. They noticed somethings that needed to be brought up to code. They explained what needed to be done, the way they were going to do it and the cost.

I noticed the pictures are not in order. SMUD disconnecting the power line, the electrician installing the raiser, SMUD connecting the power line to utility box.

What was to be expected was the wait for SMUD, the county and SMUD. In this kind of work you are on their schedule and not the other way around.

The electricians did their work on a timely basis.

I continue to call them for an electrical work and ethernet connection.

In the process of having a carport and storage shed with power build in backyard.

County inspector after passing inspection on footing and forms suggested that I have a ground rebar installed.

I contacted OldTown Electric Inc. who I had previously made arrangements to run a power line along with two cables for security cameras an Ethernet line to the storage shed part of the structure.

They were prompt, professional and courteous.

Why Citrus Heights Homes Experience Electrical Issues

Many homes in Citrus Heights were built decades ago, when electrical demand was much lower. Today, households run high-powered appliances, EV chargers, home offices, and multiple devices simultaneously. That increased load often leads to:

Overloaded breaker panels
Undersized circuits
Aging wiring
Loose connections
Improper past repairs

If your electrical system wasn’t designed for modern demand, symptoms will start showing — and ignoring them can become a safety risk.

Electrical Problems We Troubleshoot & Repair

Our licensed electricians diagnose and repair:

Breakers that trip repeatedly
Dead outlets or switches
Flickering or dimming lights
Partial power loss
Burning smells near panels
Buzzing switches or outlets
GFCI outlets that won’t reset
Circuit overloads
Wiring faults

We test, isolate, and repair the issue properly — whether it requires a circuit repair, breaker replacement, wiring correction, or panel upgrade.

Our Troubleshooting Process

Electrical troubleshooting isn’t guesswork. We follow a systematic approach:

Inspect the panel and load balance
Test affected circuits
Identify loose, damaged, or overheated wiring
Verify grounding and safety compliance
Provide a clear explanation and repair solution

You’ll know exactly what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it.

Citrus Heights Electrical Troubleshooting FAQs

Why do my breakers keep tripping in my Citrus Heights home?

Frequent breaker trips usually mean an overloaded circuit, a short, or a panel issue. Many older Citrus Heights homes were not designed for today’s electrical demand.

Is flickering power a serious problem?

Yes. Flickering lights can indicate loose wiring, voltage imbalance, or panel faults. These issues should be inspected by a licensed electrician before they become safety hazards.

How quickly can you provide electrical repair in Citrus Heights?

Most troubleshooting calls can be scheduled the same week. We diagnose the issue first and explain the repair before starting work.

Do older homes in Citrus Heights need panel upgrades?

Often, yes. Homes built decades ago commonly have 100-amp panels that struggle with modern appliances and EV chargers.

How much does electrical troubleshooting cost?

Costs depend on the issue. We provide clear pricing after diagnosis so you know exactly what the repair involves.
