What We Do for Your Newport Beach Home or Business
Whether you want a simple wall charger in your garage or multiple charging spots for a business, our licensed electricians handle every step.
1. Home Level 2 EV Charger Installation
- Plug-In or Hardwired Options: We install heavy-duty 240-volt outlets (NEMA 14-50 or 6-50) or hardwire your charger directly into your electrical system for maximum charging speed.
- Works with Any Electric Car: We set up chargers for every EV model, including Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, Wallbox, JuiceBox, and Grizzl-E.
- Smart App & Schedule Setup: We link your charger to Wi-Fi and set it to charge overnight during Southern California Edison (SCE) off-peak hours to keep your electric bills low.
2. Panel Upgrades & Safe Power Management
- 200A & 400A Main Panel Upgrades: If your home still uses an older 100-amp or 150-amp panel, we upgrade your power box so you can run your AC and EV charger at the same time without tripping breakers.
- Smart Power Load Controllers: We can install energy managers (like SimpleSwitch) that share power safely, saving you money on costly main line upgrades.
- Heavy-Duty Wiring: We size all copper wires, protective pipes, and safety switches to strictly match National Electrical Code safety standards.
3. HOA & Condo Parking Solutions
- HOA Approval Help: We prepare all technical plans, diagrams, and insurance paperwork your homeowner association needs so you get fast approval.
- Condo & Apartment Garages: We install dedicated power meters, extra subpanels, and clean wiring paths for shared garages and carports.
Why Your Panel Matters for EV Charging
An EV charger isn’t like a lamp or a TV. It runs at high power for hours at a time, and electrical codes treat that as a continuous load. A typical Level 2 charger can draw as much power as a whole electric range or dryer.
If your home already uses most of its panel’s capacity, adding a charger can push it past a safe limit. Before installing anything, we do a load calculation. This checks how much power your home really uses and how much room is left. Then one of three things happens:
- Your panel has enough room. We install the charger, and that’s it.
- You can stay under capacity with smart load management. Some chargers and devices reduce power automatically when other big appliances are running, which can avoid an upgrade.
- Your panel needs an upgrade. We explain why, show you the numbers and give you a clear price.
You’ll never be told you need an upgrade “just because.” If you don’t need it, we’ll say so.
Signs You May Need an Electric Panel Upgrade
Many homes in the Cypress area were built decades ago, and their electrical systems were designed for a very different way of living. Here are the common signs it’s time for a check:
- Breakers trip often
- Lights flicker or dim when appliances turn on
- Your panel is warm, buzzing or has burn marks
- You still have a fuse box, or a panel with a known problem brand (such as Federal Pacific or Zinsco)
- You have 100 amps or less and want to add an EV charger, AC, a heat pump, solar or a battery
- You’re doing a remodel or adding an ADU or addition
- Your insurance company has flagged your panel
A loose or overloaded panel is a genuine fire risk. If you notice a burning smell, sparks or scorch marks, turn off power to that area if it’s safe to do so and call a licensed electrician right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
A basic home installation usually costs between $850 and $1,800, covering labor, materials, and city permits. If you need a long wiring run or a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade, total costs can range from $2,500 to $4,500+.
Yes. A new 240-volt dedicated branch circuit generally requires an electrical permit. We handle load calculations, permit submission, and coordination of the final city inspection.
Not always. It depends on your existing panel capacity and household electrical demand. We perform a load calculation to determine whether a 200A upgrade or smart energy load management is appropriate.
Potential incentives may include SCE programs, applicable federal tax credits, and time-of-use electricity rates. Eligibility and incentive amounts vary, so verify current requirements before applying.
California law provides protections for qualifying EV charger installations, although HOAs may have reasonable architectural, safety, and insurance requirements. We can help prepare the documentation needed for HOA review.
Hardwired chargers can provide higher continuous charging capacity, eliminate the plug-and-receptacle connection, and offer a clean, permanent installation that can be well suited to coastal properties.
The physical installation typically takes 3–5 hours. The overall process, including permitting and final inspection, can take approximately 2–5 business days, depending on scheduling and project requirements.
