At High Level Electric, we provide fast, safe troubleshooting and electrical repair services for homes and businesses across Sacramento. If you have flickering lights, dead outlets, tripped breakers, burning smells, partial power loss, faulty switches, or unexplained electrical issues, we can find the cause and fix it the right way.
Our job is not to guess. We take time to diagnose the problem, explain what we find, and give you an honest, upfront recommendation before any repair work begins.

What we troubleshoot and repair
We handle a wide range of electrical service calls for residential and commercial properties. Common issues we repair include:
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Outlets that stopped working
- Loose, warm, or sparking outlets and switches
- Frequent breaker trips
- Partial power loss in one room or section of a building
- GFCI outlets that will not reset

Many electrical issues are symptoms of a deeper problem, such as overloaded circuits, aging wiring, bad connections, improper installations, or failing devices. We work to identify the root cause so the repair solves the issue instead of only covering it up for a short time.
Our troubleshooting process
Good electrical troubleshooting takes experience. We follow a clear process to make things simple for you:
- Schedule a service visit to inspect and diagnose the issue.
- Perform a hands-on evaluation of the affected circuit, device, panel, or wiring.
- Explain what is causing the problem in plain language.
- Provide a free, honest estimate on-site with upfront pricing.
- Complete the repair safely and test the system for proper operation.
- Handle permitting and inspections if the repair requires it.
- Collect payment after the work is completed.
We believe customers should know exactly what is happening in their home or building. That is why we focus on transparent pricing, excellent communication, and practical solutions based on safety and long-term performance.
Why professional electrical repairs matter
Electrical problems are not just inconvenient. They can create fire risks, equipment damage, and shock hazards. A flickering light may be a simple fixture issue, or it may point to a loose connection in the circuit. A dead outlet may be a tripped GFCI, or it may be tied to damaged wiring. When you bring in a licensed electrician, you get a proper diagnosis and a repair that meets current local and national electrical code requirements.

Why Sacramento customers trust us
See what homeowners and businesses say about the fast, honest electrical service they received.
"I highly recommend High Level Electric and Damell for any electrical work. Damell has completed all of the electrical work on my home, and I have always been impressed with how fair, professional, and reliable he is. He works quickly, does quality work, and is always willing to fix any issues that come up. During my recent kitchen remodel, Damell was able to quickly install the electrical work needed so I could continue using my kitchen and keep the project moving without unnecessary delays. He has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. If you’re looking for an honest, professional, and dependable electrician, I highly recommend High Level Electric!"
"Damell was able to come to my property within an hour. It was a small matter that just required fiddling a bit with the breaker box, that he solved in a few minutes. He took his time explaining the situation and the cause, educating me on the matter so I would know what to look out for next time. Damell is an honest and courteous professional that I would highly recommend."
"Wonderful company, Damell came out to give us a quote and he was able to do the service the same day for such a fair price. Great work and great people!"
"High Level Electric responded to an urgent call to help us and a contractor determine if some old knob and tube wiring in our 100 yr old house was live. They identified which circuits were live and which weren’t. We needed a plan to replace the live circuits in order to continue with a construction project. They identified all the outlets, light, and appliances powered by the old wiring, and developed a clear plan to update it all. They were here for us when we urgently needed help. Damell, their leader, projected professional confidence and dealt with us in a respectful and kind manner."
"It’s always a pleasure working with Damell. He’s a real pro and he can do anything! I highly recommend High Level Electric"
"Nice service nice guy very good deal thanks damell"
"I would give High Level Electric the highest rating possible: knowledge, professionalism, thorough detail, communication, timeliness, and many other character and business integrity traits that are so lacking in the trades today. He is very personal, and takes time to go over options available after inspecting your needs, answering your questions and making sure you understand in layman's terms. He did difficult rewiring in my 1965 cottage of both walls and ceiling, installing new outlets, repairing old outlets and light sockets in my rear and rear porch, bathroom, and kitchen, and installed ceiling lights in my living room and bedroom. Very efficient. Night and day difference! Reasonable price. Call Dammel and crew! Excellence is certainly his trademark. Richard O. Citrus Heights"
"I've used Damell and HLE for electrical work in both of our homes, and I can't recommend them enough. Damell is timely, personable, and incredibly attentive. Having previously witnessed the trauma of a house fire, he truly understood our concerns and handled everything with exceptional care. In our older home, he installed several outlets in key areas to safely support electric bidets, the washing machine, and a wall-mounted TV. He also assessed all of our existing outlets, replacing those that were outdated or unsafe. I really appreciated how transparent he was. He clearly explained what needed to be addressed right away versus what could wait. There was never any pressure or upselling, just honest guidance to help us make the best decisions for our home. When we moved into our newer home, we didn't hesitate to call him again. This time, he installed an outlet in the garage so we could safely run a second refrigerator. Damell's professionalism, integrity, and quality of work have earned our complete trust. We'll definitely continue to use HLE for all of our electrical needs."
"Damell came out to help us with what seemed like a simple light switch box move but he then discovered the original wiring was improper and it was causing intermittent malfunction at the switch. I appreciated his expertise and his calm and patient mannerisms in troubleshooting the issue. I highly recommend High Level Electric!"
"If you need an honest electrician this is your company. They don’t upsell you with stuff you don’t need."

Highly recommend!!!"

What stood out most to me was how trustworthy and honest he is—no upselling, no cutting corners, just straightforward and high-quality work. He took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I felt confident that I was making the right decision. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future projects!"
"If I could give High Level Electric beyond 5 stars, I would most definitely do so. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! Damell has been our electrician for 6yrs ano counting and the work is immaculate. The work is very clean, very professionally executed. He's very knowledgeable, respectful towards his clients and their space and will walk you through the process. Even offers multiple solutions depending on what your needs are. He's changed out outlets, installed security cameras throughout my entire home, installed recessed lighting in my living room and provided my main panel with surge protection without any problems. Very reasonably priced and they're willing to work with you as well. I've never had an issue with this company. If you want safe and reliable work High Level Electric is THAT company!"
"We had ongoing electrical issues at our home such as flickering lights, breakers constantly tripping, and lights dimming every time we used appliances like the microwave or air fryer. We called High Level Electric, and Damell quickly diagnosed the problem. They found that multiple circuits were improperly tied together and needed to be separated to properly distribute the electrical load. During their inspection of our main panel, they also discovered corroded aluminum wiring that was affecting performance and safety. We decided to move forward with a full 200 amp panel upgrade, along with circuit separation and installation of a new dedicated electrical oven circuit. High Level Electric handled everything from permits to city inspections and utility coordination, and even got our power restored the same day. The new panel includes FireGuard (AFCI) breakers, and when a few issues came up, they took the time to troubleshoot and fix everything at no additional cost, which really showed their integrity and professionalism. They also had to open up part of the wall, but patched it cleanly and left everything looking great. Now our lights no longer flicker or dim, even when running multiple appliances, and we have plenty of space in our upgraded panel for future additions. If you’re looking for a reliable electrician for a panel upgrade, troubleshooting, or home electrical work, I definitely recommend High Level Electric. We will for sure be calling them back for our upcoming ADU project."
"Damell is an outstanding electrician! Honest and skilled as they come. He gets to the root of your electrical issues and is attentive to your needs throughout the whole process. Can’t recommend him enough!"
"I had TVs mounted by this business. They were quick, efficient and reliable. I had no clue about mounting anything so I had them come and help. They were very knowledgeable about the process, electrical wiring and were very quick. As a bonus they also mounted my PS5 and accessories. If you’re looking for anything electrical don’t hesitate to give them a call. They will help you with any and everything you need."
"Best electrician out here!! I highly recommend high level electric for all your electrical needs! If you’re looking for somebody who is knowledgeable and trustworthy give them a call! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
