Process Questions
We do not give blind estimates over the phone. After we understand your Brea project and, when needed, visit the site, we provide a custom written quote with scope and pricing spelled out. Call (657) 239-6331 to start.
We do not recommend DIY Level 2 installs. Hardwired EVSE involves 240V circuits, torque specs, and CEC/NEC Article 625 rules. Unpermitted work can fail inspection, void warranties, or create a fire hazard. A licensed C-10 electrician should install and permit the circuit.
Service Questions
Yes. We install Level 2 chargers for Brea homes, check panel capacity, upgrade when needed, and handle permits. Every project is different — we provide a custom quote after we see your site. Typical EV charger installation work often starts at $1,000+ before materials, permits, and final scope; there is no one-size-fits-all maximum.
Only a load calculation tells you. Many older Brea homes on 100A service cannot add a 40–60A continuous EV circuit without a panel or service upgrade. We calculate available capacity under the CEC/NEC before quoting charger-only vs panel-plus-charger.
Most 32A Level 2 chargers need a 40A breaker and copper conductors sized for the continuous load (NEC treats EVSE as continuous — typically 125% of the continuous current). Some 48A units need 60A. Exact wire gauge depends on length, routing, and the manufacturer listing — we size it on site.

"Michael the technician is honest and doesn't try to charge you for anything unnecessary. One thing he does that other electricians dont is he uses the diagnostic charge towards your repair if a repair is needed. Not many are this honest and his prices are much more fair compared to the competition. He is forsure my go to Ev charger technician from now on. Keep up the good work!"

"Michael came to install 4 ceiling fans, a Tesla charger, and a new outlet in the bathroom. He gave me a good price. Saying I had to write him a good review. I got busy with personal issues at home. But I knew I might call him again for more work around the house. And I'd write the review later. He quotes me almost triple the price, this time. Saying his prices have changed. And badgering me about how I didn't write the review. He says he's thinking about adhering to the same price as our first job, if I write the review. I write him a nice review.Show it to him. He tells me, I should've written the review two months ago, and he won't change his pricing. So here we are. I don't like people who manipulate for a review."
