Modernizing Irvine’s Master-Planned Homes
Even in the newest parts of Woodbridge or Northwood, modern power demands can push a standard panel to its limit. If you are adding a smart home system, a pool, or a heat pump, you likely need a capacity boost.
Led by Brian Bois (Lic #928244), our team helps Irvine residents secure exclusive local incentives:
- One Irvine Program: We help eligible homeowners in older neighborhoods access up to $1,500 in rebates and $25,000 in no-interest loans for electrification and modernization.
- SCE Charge Ready Rebates: You may qualify for up to $4,200 from Southern California Edison to upgrade your panel to 200-amp service when installing an EV charger.
- 2026 Title 24 Compliance: All our work adheres to the latest Jan 1, 2026, California Energy Code updates, maximizing your home's efficiency and resale value.

Irvine Homeowner FAQ
How long does it take to get HOA approval for an electrical project in Irvine?
While CA law (SB 770) prevents HOAs from "unreasonably" delaying EV installs, the process typically takes 1–4 weeks. We expedite this by providing "approval-ready" documentation packages on day one.
Does the City of Irvine require an inspection for a panel upgrade?
Yes. All panel upgrades and EV circuit installations must be inspected via the City of Irvine Building & Safety department. We coordinate the inspector's visit to minimize downtime for your home.
