FAQ about EV Charger installation
- Question:How long does EV charger installation take?Answer:Most residential EV charger installations take 2-4 hours depending on your electrical panel setup and charging station requirements.
- Question:Do I need an electrical panel upgrade for my EV charger?Answer:Many homes built before 2000 have 100-amp electrical panels that may need upgrading to 200-amp service to safely support Level 2 EV charging. We provide free electrical assessments to determine if a panel upgrade is necessary. Common reasons for panel upgrades include insufficient electrical capacity for 40-50 amp EV charger circuits, older panels lacking proper safety features, multiple EV households requiring load management, and integration with solar panels or home battery systems.
- Question:What EV charger brands do you install?Answer:We install all major EV charger brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Grizzl-E, ClipperCreek, and universal J1772 chargers. We'll help you choose the best charger for your electric vehicle and charging needs based on your car's compatibility, desired features, and budget.
- Question:Can you install chargers for multiple electric vehicles?Answer:Absolutely! We specialize in multi-vehicle charging solutions with smart load management systems that automatically balance electrical load between chargers and your home's other electrical needs. This ensures safe operation without overloading your electrical system.
- Question:Do you handle permits and inspections?Answer:Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate with city inspectors. EV charger installations require electrical permits in most Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino jurisdictions. We ensure full compliance with local codes and NEC 625 standards.
- Question:What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?Answer:Level 1 charging uses standard 120V outlets and provides 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging. Level 2 charging uses 240V circuits and provides 25-40 miles of range per hour. We specialize in Level 2 installations for faster, more convenient home charging that can fully charge most EVs overnight.

Installed a ring doorbell without upgrading the other parts and when the doorbell started going off randomly during the night (we have a newborn), Azat responded to my inquiry sent at 3am promptly at 7am and was able to come the same day to fix my problem. Total lifesaver! Highly recommend!
Scott B., Laguna Niguel, CA
Azat was very quick on replying and providing his estimates for the work that needed to be done on my kitchen. He arrived on time and efficiently and professionally completed all the required work. He fixed our recessed lighting that was incorrectly installed by the former electrician. Highly recommended.
Svetlana P., Orange, CA
Reached out on Yelp and Azat was very quick to respond. He showed up on time and was able to install my light timer switch for my front porch light. Appreciated that he came so quick on a Friday night. Very professional and friendly. Will not hesitate to use him again for other household related projects.
Kyle R., Costa Mesa, CA
Azat was great to work with. Very prompt with his replies, very fair pricing, clean, and did a great job overall. I highly recommend and look forward to working with him again, completely satisfied with the service he provided. Azat has come back for another job and did an amazing job hanging a tv for me. Was quick, clean, communicative and very precise in his measurements. Highly recommend his services.
Nick D., Aliso Viejo
Azat was so helpful, prompt and efficient. The dimmer switch in our bedroom stopped working and he replaced it within 15 minutes at a reasonable cost. We will definitely be using him again for future handy work that needs to be done. Thank you Azat!
Barbara B., Costa Mesa, CA
We had a really good experience with Azat. He came to install our microwave, help with electricalwork, and do some dry walling. He was knowledgeable, professional, and straight forward as to what was possible. We really appreciated his efforts
