FAQs for Central California

Does ElectriCare currently serve Central California for solar repair and EV charger installation?

ElectriCare is actively expanding into Central California. Call 951.696.9669 to confirm current coverage for your specific city.

How quickly can you respond in Central California?

Since we're actively expanding into Central California, response times vary by city. Call 951.696.9669 and we'll give you an honest timeline before you book anything.

Does ElectriCare serve my city?

We serve all of Riverside County (excluding Blythe), all of Orange County, San Diego County, and southern San Bernardino County, and we're currently expanding into Los Angeles County and Central California. If your city isn't listed but is within these regions, call us at 951-696-9669 to confirm current coverage.

Are you licensed to work outside Riverside County?

Yes. ElectriCare's California Contractors State License Board license (CSLB #778366) is valid statewide. We've been continuously licensed since 2000 and carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation for all jurisdictions we operate in.

Do you charge for travel time to outlying cities?

For service calls within Southwest Riverside County, there's no separate travel fee. For cities further out (Coachella Valley, Orange County, San Diego County, San Bernardino County, LA County, Central California), travel may be factored into the project quote. We're upfront about this during scheduling — no surprises.

Will my city be added if you expand to new areas?

Yes. As we expand coverage, this page is updated to reflect new cities and counties. If you're in an area we don't currently list, let us know — demand drives our expansion priorities.

Is solar still worth it in California in 2026?

Yes, for most homeowners — even with NEM 3.0 reducing export credit rates. The economics now favor pairing solar with battery storage to use your own power during peak evening rates rather than exporting it. Existing systems installed under NEM 1.0 or 2.0 retain their original rate structure. We can review your specific system and utility rate plan to confirm your numbers.

How much does it cost to fix a solar inverter?

Cost depends on the failure type and whether it's under warranty. A single failed microinverter replacement (often free under a 25-year Enphase warranty, labor only) typically runs $150–$400. A full string inverter replacement out of warranty ranges $1,200–$2,500 depending on brand and system size. We always quote labor upfront before starting work.

Does homeowners insurance cover solar panel damage?

Often yes, for damage from covered perils like wind, hail, or fire — but not for equipment failure, wear, or manufacturer defects, which fall under the equipment warranty instead. Check your policy's specific solar rider or endorsement, since coverage varies by insurer.

Do you service all solar brands, regardless of who installed the system?

Yes. We service every major brand — Enphase, SolarEdge, SunPower, Tesla, ABB, Fronius, LG, REC, Panasonic, Hanwha Q CELLS, Canadian Solar, and more. We also frequently take over service for systems whose original installers have gone out of business.

What does a Level 2 EV charger installation typically cost?

Most permitted Level 2 installations run $1,200–$1,600, depending on the distance from your electrical panel and whether a panel upgrade is needed. We provide an itemized quote before any work begins, and every installation includes the required permit — unlike some installers who skip it to offer a lower upfront price.

Do you handle the permit process for EV charger installations?

Yes, on every job. We pull the electrical permit, submit any required load calculations, and coordinate the final city inspection. Skipping a permit can void your vehicle warranty and create problems when you sell your home, so we never do unpermitted work.

Can you install any EV charger brand, or only certain ones?

We install any residential Level 2 charger — Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, GM Energy/Ultium, Enphase, SolarEdge, Emporia, and others. We're a Tesla Wall Connector Preferred Installer and ChargePoint Certified installer, but brand certification isn't required for us to install your charger correctly and to code.

What if my HOA requires approval for an EV charger installation?

California Civil Code Section 4745 protects your right to install an EV charger even in HOA communities, though your HOA may have reasonable placement and appearance requirements. We regularly work with HOAs across our service area and can provide the documentation needed to support your approval request.
