Electrician in Davis, CA – Rentals, Solar Homes & Repairs

Davis is home to UC Davis, and a large share of the homes in town are rentals: older houses split into units, duplexes and apartment complexes. If you rent and something electrical goes wrong, tell your landlord or property manager first. Most leases make them responsible for repairs, and many want to choose the electrician. Do not open the panel or swap outlets yourself.

Davis is also a bike town, and e-bikes and scooters charging indoors are now part of the picture. Plug chargers straight into a wall outlet, not a power strip or extension cord, and stop using an outlet that gets warm or loose while something charges.

On the owner side, Davis has a long history with solar; the Village Homes neighborhood in West Davis is known for its solar-powered houses, and rooftop panels are common across the city. If you are adding a battery, an EV charger or more solar, ask the electrician whether your panel and service can handle it before buying equipment. For a solar system that stopped producing, start with the company that installed it; the electrician handles the house wiring and panel side.
