ElectriCare installs Level 2 EV chargers throughout Brea. Tesla Wall Connector Preferred Installer, ChargePoint Certified, and licensed electrical contractor (CSLB #778366). We handle permits, panel capacity analysis, and HOA approvals.
Every installation we perform is permitted, inspected, and code-compliant. Skipping a permit risks denied insurance claims, a voided vehicle warranty, and liability when selling your home. If another company offers to skip the permit to save time or money — that is a red flag.
Since 2000, ElectriCare has completed hundreds of EV charger installation projects throughout Brea, from the historic downtown district near Birch Street to the hillside properties in the 92823 ZIP code, where we've learned that many homes require upgraded electrical panels to support modern charging demands. Our technicians have become intimately familiar with Brea's mix of mid-century ranch homes and newer developments, each presenting unique wiring configurations that influence installation approaches. We've noticed an increasing number of residents pairing their charging systems with battery storage solutions, particularly in areas prone to brief power interruptions. Every project begins with a thorough system inspection to assess your home's electrical capacity and determine the most efficient path for running conduit to your garage or carport. Most residential installations in Brea range from $1,299 to $1,600, depending on the distance from your panel and whether any service upgrades are necessary to safely accommodate

"ElectriCare installed our Level 2 charger for our Tesla last month and handled all the permit paperwork with the city without us lifting a finger. The whole job from start to finish took three days, which was faster than the other quotes we got in our Brea neighborhood."
"We needed a panel upgrade before the charger could go in, and Stephen walked us through exactly what was required and why. The final cost came in at $1,450, right where he estimated. Very straightforward and no surprises."
"Andrea answered all my questions about which charger would work best for our Chevy Bolt and explained the 240V circuit requirements in a way that actually made sense. They finished the install near Birch Street and left our garage cleaner than they found it."
"I called four electricians in the 92821 area and Frank from ElectriCare was the only one who responded same day and showed up when promised. The communication throughout the whole charger install was excellent, which seems rare these days."
Most installations in Brea homes are completed in 4-6 hours for a straightforward setup. If your electrical panel needs an upgrade or the charger location is far from the panel—common in older Brea neighborhoods near downtown—the work may extend to a full day. We always schedule a pre-installation site visit to give you an accurate timeline for your specific property.
Many homes in Brea built before 2000 have 100-amp or 125-amp panels that may need an upgrade to safely support a 240-volt EV charger alongside your AC and other appliances. During our initial assessment, we'll check your panel's available capacity and let you know if an upgrade is necessary. If an upgrade is required, we handle the entire process including permitting and coordination with the city.
The City of Brea requires an electrical permit for EV charger installations, which we obtain and manage on your behalf. Brea's Building and Safety Department typically processes these permits within 3-5 business days, and we schedule the required inspection once installation is complete. The permit cost is included in our installation pricing of $1,299-$1,600.
Yes, you'll receive two separate warranties: the EV charger manufacturer typically provides a 3-year warranty on the equipment itself, while we provide a workmanship warranty on the installation labor and materials. Our installation warranty covers all electrical connections, conduit, and mounting for one full year. If any issues arise with either component, we'll troubleshoot and determine the appropriate warranty coverage for repairs.
After installation, a Brea city inspector will visit to verify that all electrical work meets California code requirements, including proper circuit sizing, GFCI protection, and secure mounting. The inspection usually takes 15-20 minutes and can often be scheduled within a few days of completion. We remain on-site during the inspection to address any questions and ensure immediate approval so you can start charging right away.
