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 Rewiring in Orange County, CA
Many Orange County homes built before the 1980s still carry outdated wiring that was never designed for today's electrical loads. Air conditioning systems, EV chargers, and modern appliances push older circuits well past their original capacity. At HCE-Electric, our rewiring service covers full home rewiring, partial circuit replacement, and panel-ready wiring upgrades for residential properties throughout Orange County. We inspect your existing system first, identify unsafe or undersized wiring, and map out exactly what needs to be replaced. Knob-and-tube and aluminum branch wiring are common in older Orange County housing stock and both carry real fire risk when left unaddressed. Our licensed electricians follow the California Electrical Code and local Orange County building department requirements on every job. New copper wiring is installed cleanly through walls and ceilings with minimal disruption to your living space. If your lights flicker, breakers trip repeatedly, or outlets feel warm, call HCE-Electric to schedule an inspection.
