Local rules

In California, licenses for electrical contractors come from the Contractors State License Board, and electricians working for them need state certification. If a service upgrade needs a new meter or a disconnect at the street, the electrician will usually coordinate with SMUD, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District on scheduling.

Older parts of Rancho Cordova get water from Golden State Water, a private company, and newer areas from the Sacramento County Water Agency. Mather Air Force Base closed in 1993 and is now Mather Airport. Wastewater from homes here goes to Regional San, and permits run through the City of Rancho Cordova Building and Safety Division. Electricity here comes from SMUD, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and gas from PG&E. Rancho Cordova incorporated in 2003.

The local picture in Rancho Cordova

Most homes sit on slab foundations. SMUD, a publicly owned utility, supplies electricity.

Aerojet has had a rocket plant here since the 1950s. Some homes from the late 1960s and early 1970s were built with aluminum branch wiring, which needs the right connectors to stay safe. The American River Parkway runs along the north edge.

Utilities here may shut off power during high fire-risk wind events, so backup batteries and generator hookups have become common requests. Anatolia and Sunridge are newer neighborhoods south of Douglas Road.

Before you call

Note what was running when the problem happened. Patterns help an electrician find the cause faster.

Check whether anything is still under a manufacturer or builder warranty.

Common questions

What should I tell the electrician?

Describe what stopped working, what was running at the time and whether you noticed heat, sparks or a smell. A photo of the panel label helps too.

What is a GFCI outlet and where do I need one?

It cuts power fast if it senses a ground fault. They are common near water, such as kitchens, baths, laundry areas, garages and outdoors.

Are two-prong outlets unsafe?

They are ungrounded, which matters for computers and appliances with three-prong plugs. An electrician can add grounding or install GFCI protection as an allowed alternative.

Do you cover Riviera East and Riviera East?

Our network reaches Riviera East, Countryside, Kavala Ranch and Anatolia and the rest of Rancho Cordova (95670, 95742, 95827). Tell us about a gate code, a tight driveway or a dog in the yard so the pro can plan. If nobody's available, we'll tell you.

Does electrical work in Rancho Cordova need a permit?

Some jobs do and many small repairs don't. In Rancho Cordova, permits are handled by the City of Rancho Cordova Building and Safety Division, and the electrician can tell you if your job needs one.

Keep pets in another room while the pro works.
