Most EV charger installations in Irvine homes are completed in 4-6 hours, though this can vary depending on the distance from your electrical panel to your garage or carport. If your home requires a panel upgrade—common in older Woodbridge or University Park properties—the timeline may extend to 1-2 days. We'll provide a clear timeline after our initial assessment of your property.
Many Irvine homes built before 2000 have 100-amp or 125-amp panels that may need upgrading to safely support a Level 2 EV charger, especially if you're already running air conditioning during our warm summers. We'll assess your current panel capacity during the free consultation and let you know if an upgrade is necessary. Homes in newer developments like Orchard Hills or Eastwood typically have 200-amp panels that can accommodate EV chargers without modification.
The City of Irvine requires an electrical permit for EV charger installations, which we handle on your behalf as part of our service. Irvine's building department typically processes these permits within 5-7 business days, and the process is streamlined for residential EV charger installations. Once the work is complete, we'll schedule the required city inspection to ensure everything meets code.
Most EV charger manufacturers require professional installation by a licensed electrician to maintain the full product warranty, and some will void coverage entirely for DIY installations. Our installations in Irvine include both the manufacturer's warranty on the charger unit and a separate workmanship warranty on the electrical installation. This dual coverage protects you from both equipment failures and installation-related issues.
In Irvine, you cannot legally use your newly installed EV charger until it passes the city electrical inspection, which we schedule promptly after installation. The City of Irvine building inspectors are generally responsive, and most inspections occur within 2-3 business days of our request. We stay on-site or return for the inspection to address any questions and ensure immediate approval so you can start charging without delay.
