Davis homeowners are often early adopters of EVs, heat pumps, and energy-efficient upgrades, which puts real demand on home electrical systems. The city's older central neighborhoods also have plenty of homes ready for panel upgrades and updated wiring.
We support the move to a more electric home with honest panel assessments, properly sized EV charger installs, and clean, code-first work. Davis is a short trip for us, and we're glad to help homeowners there charge, upgrade, and modernize with confidence.
With high EV and heat-pump adoption in Davis, getting panel capacity right is key, and we assess it honestly.
Going electric in Davis
Davis homeowners get there before most of the region: the heat pump water heater, the induction range, the Level 2 charger, sometimes all in the same year. Each one is a 240-volt load, and three of them on a 1970s panel is where things get tight. We run the load calculation first. Often a load management device keeps you on the existing panel. When it won't, a 200-amp upgrade through PG&E is the right first step, and we'll tell you that before the equipment is ordered.

Rentals, duplexes, and the core neighborhoods
The streets between campus and downtown are 1950s to 70s houses, a lot of them rentals, a lot of them split into units over the years. Owners call us for turnover work: a panel that trips every time the tenants run the microwave and the space heater, outlets with no ground, bathrooms without GFCI protection. We fix what's unsafe first, document it, and give you a list for the rest.

Solar and batteries
Davis has more rooftop solar per block than almost anywhere we work, and the next question is usually a battery. We handle the electrical side: the battery circuit, the critical loads panel so the right things stay on during an outage, and the PG&E interconnection paperwork.
