Whether you need to upgrade your electrical panel depends on your home’s current electrical capacity. As part of our professional installation process, we perform essential load calculations to determine if your existing panel can safely support the addition of a high-power charging circuit.
While a panel upgrade is not always necessary, it is often required for older homes or those with limited available amperage to ensure your system can handle the demands of a Level 2 EV charger installation or a Tesla Wall Connector installation. During our initial site assessment, we provide the following:
- Electrical Panel Inspection: We evaluate your current system to ensure it meets National Electrical Code (NEC) and California building code safety standards.
- Load Calculation: We confirm if your panel can accommodate the new circuit without overloading your home’s electrical infrastructure.
- Electric Panel Upgrade: If your current panel is insufficient, we can perform a full upgrade to support your new charger and other modern electrical needs.
We provide exceptional electrical services and handle every detail, from permitting with the Rancho Palos Verdes Building & Safety Division to final testing. Schedule Your Service! today for a free consultation and diagnostic to see if your home is ready for a new charging station.
