I needed a new 200 amp electrical panel upgrade and EV charger installed. Havican Custom Electric provided the best bid and price. Andrew and his team arrived when they said they would, weathered a severe rainstorm while performing our upgrade and kept our home clean and tidy in the process. He took care of everything from coordinating with the city inspector, utility company, stucco demo and painting so the process was a breeze. Now I am the happy owner of a neatly labeled fully future proof electrical panel with whole house surge protection. I highly recommend them for all your electrical needs.

Expert Electrical Panel Installation in Orange County, CA
HCE-Electric provides electrical panel installation and replacement for homes across Orange County, CA. Many homes in Orange County were built in the 1970s and 1980s with 100-amp panels that were not designed for today's electrical loads. Modern appliances, high-efficiency HVAC systems, EV chargers, and smart home devices can push an aging panel past its limits. Our licensed electricians start with a load calculation to size your new panel correctly. We assess your existing wiring, grounding, and amperage before any work begins. California's Title 24 energy standards also require load calculations during permit reviews, so proper sizing matters from the start. Each city in Orange County sets its own permit and inspection requirements, and we handle that coordination on your behalf. Once your new panel passes city inspection, your home has a safe, code-compliant electrical system built to carry the demands of modern living. Call HCE-Electric to schedule your panel assessment today.
