When something electrical goes wrong in your house, it’s not the kind of thing you put off.
A buzzing outlet. A breaker that keeps tripping. A porch light that just quit in the middle of summer barbecue season.
You need someone who knows what they’re doing… and preferably someone who doesn’t need GPS to find your street.
That’s why so many folks in Roseville call Old Town Electric first. We’re local. We know this city’s homes, its quirks, and its weather. And we’ve built our business on making sure when we leave your driveway, you feel like the problem’s not just fixed, it’s fixed right.

Local Knowledge You Can’t Fake
Roseville’s not a one-size-fits-all town.
We’ve got neighborhoods like Diamond Oaks with homes from the ‘70s, and then there’s Fiddyment Farm with houses that are barely ten years old. The wiring, panels, and breaker setups? Completely different animals.
Add in our summer heat that bakes anything outdoors and those chilly damp mornings in January, electrical systems here take a beating. We’ve seen outdoor outlets warped from sun exposure, attic wiring chewed by squirrels looking for winter shelter, and panels that can’t keep up with today’s power needs.
A lot of out-of-town electricians wouldn’t spot those patterns until it’s too late. We’ve been working here long enough to know what’s coming before it happens.
Getting There Fast Matters
If your power’s out in half the house, you don’t want to wait for a truck driving in from Sacramento or farther.
One of the perks of hiring local? We’re already nearby.
We’ve had calls from the Stoneridge neighborhood where we were able to show up within the hour because we were finishing a job over in Westpark. When a breaker fried during a Saturday garage sale, we had it swapped before the last table was folded.
That speed isn’t about luck, it’s because we’re right here.
Trust Is Earned in This Town
In a place like Roseville, word gets around. We see our customers at the Galleria, at Little League games, at Denio’s on Saturday morning. If we cut corners, we wouldn’t last a month.
That’s why we’ve built Old Town Electric on a few non-negotiables:
- Show up when we say we will.
- Price the job fairly and explain it clearly.
- Do work that lasts, not work that just passes an inspection.
We don’t have a “service area”, we have neighbors.
Old Homes vs. New Homes: Different Challenges
Some of the older places near Johnson Ranch or Hillcrest still have original panels from decades ago. They weren’t designed for modern appliances, EV chargers, or multiple A/C units. We’ve upgraded plenty of them before they became safety hazards.
On the flip side, newer homes in areas like Campus Oaks come with different challenges, smart home integrations, solar tie-ins, and high-end lighting systems that need precision work to function properly.
We’ve handled both ends of that spectrum, so we know what to watch for.
Safety Isn’t a Sales Pitch, It’s the Job
Electricity isn’t something you “just try.” It’s not like hanging a picture or fixing a loose cabinet hinge. If something’s wired wrong, it can burn your house down.
Every job we do in Roseville is to code, and often above code. That means when we replace an outlet in your kitchen, we’re also checking the wiring in the box. If we’re upgrading your panel, we’re looking for loose connections that could cause arcing.
One example: we were replacing a light fixture in a Roseville Heights home and found aluminum wiring spliced into copper without proper connectors. That’s a fire risk. We fixed it on the spot, no extra trip, no upsell, because that’s just what you do when you care about the house and the people living in it.
Your Money Stays in Roseville
Hiring local doesn’t just get you faster service. It keeps your money here.
We shop at the same grocery stores, we sponsor local sports teams, and our kids go to the same schools as yours.
When you hire Old Town Electric, you’re supporting a business that’s putting money back into the community, not sending it off to a corporate office in another state.

Pricing Without the Guesswork
One of the fastest ways to lose a customer’s trust is to surprise them with a bigger bill than they expected. We don’t do that.
Here’s a ballpark of what you might expect for common jobs here in Roseville:
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Ceiling Fan Install | $150–$300+ |
| EV Charger Install | $500–$1,200+ |
| Panel Upgrade | $2,500–$4,000+ |
| Whole-Home Inspection | $150–$300+ |
These numbers come from real work we’ve done locally, not a generic national average.
Navigating Roseville’s Permits and Codes
Some electrical work needs a permit, and if you’ve ever tried to figure out the process yourself… well, you know it’s not exactly a quick afternoon project.
Because we work in Roseville all the time, we know the building department, we know what they’ll look for, and we can get permits pulled faster than a company that’s never set foot here. That means fewer delays for you.
A Couple of Real Stories
Highland Reserve – Power Out Sunday Night
We got a call from a family who lost power to their kitchen and living room right before dinner. We were there in under an hour, swapped a bad breaker, and had them cooking again before bedtime.
Fiddyment Farm – EV Charger Install
A couple had just bought a Tesla and needed a Level 2 charger. We checked their panel, made a small upgrade, and they were charging at home three days later.
