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 Backup Power System Installation in Orange County, CA
Backup power system installation in Orange County, CA is one of the most practical upgrades a homeowner can make.

From there, we handle the electrical work, system wiring, and utility interconnection coordination. Our team works on residential properties across Orange County, including homes in HOA communities where roof and electrical access can add steps to the process.

Backup Power System Installation FAQ
Common questions about backup power system installation in Orange County, CA.
Yes, we integrate battery backup systems with existing solar arrays throughout Orange County. A grid-tied solar system without storage will shut down during an outage, but adding a battery keeps your power on.
Not always. We inspect your current panel during the site assessment to determine if it can support the new system. Some Orange County homes with older panels do need an upgrade before installation.
It depends on the system size we design for your home. We can back up your entire load or prioritize essential circuits like refrigeration, lighting, and medical equipment.
Southern California Edison issues Public Safety Power Shutoffs during high-wind fire risk periods, which can leave Orange County homes without power. A properly sized battery system keeps your home running through those shutoffs.
Yes, we coordinate the interconnection process with the utility as part of our installation service. Orange County homeowners served by SCE are required to follow specific interconnection steps for battery systems.
Yes. Solar panels alone do not provide power during a grid outage without a battery. Adding backup storage means your Orange County home stays powered even when the grid goes down.
