Electrician in Irvine, California

California Civil Code 4745 limits an association's ability to block an owner's EV charger in a common interest development, though the HOA can set reasonable conditions such as insurance, an approved electrician and who pays for the electricity. We provide the load calculation, the route from your meter to the parking space and permit documents the board usually asks for.

It adds steps but it is routine. The solar breaker or line side connection has to be reconnected correctly in the new panel, and the busbar rating must allow the solar backfeed. SCE needs to know the interconnection is changing. We check the inverter and the existing permit set first so the new panel is sized to keep the system legal.

Often one of them fits and both together do not. Many of those units have 100 or 125 amp panels with no spare spaces. A load calculation tells us whether a load management device or a panel replacement makes more sense. In attached units the meter is often in a shared bank, so any upgrade has to be coordinated with the HOA as well.

Electrical permits in Irvine are issued by City of Irvine. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.

Irvine is served by Southern California Edison. On a service upgrade or a meter stack the utility has to disconnect and reconnect the service, and Morff Electric coordinates that scheduling so the outage stays as short as possible.
