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 Maintenance in Orange County, CA
Backup power system maintenance keeps your solar-paired battery working when Orange County needs it most. Southern California Edison serves most of the county and logs roughly 0.90 outages per customer per year, not counting Public Safety Power Shutoffs triggered by Santa Ana wind events. Those PSPS events can last multiple days, making a well-maintained backup system a real necessity, not a nice-to-have. HCE-Electric inspects every part of your backup setup: battery cells, inverter connections, automatic transfer switch operation, and critical load subpanel wiring. We check that your system correctly isolates from the grid during an outage and that solar recharging resumes as expected once the sun returns. We also verify that surge-start loads like refrigerators and garage door openers fall within your inverter's peak capacity. If something is off, we document it and walk you through the fix. Orange County homeowners with solar-plus-storage systems count on this service to confirm their investment actually performs when the grid goes down. Call HCE-Electric to schedule your maintenance visit.

FAQ
Backup Power System Maintenance FAQ
Common questions about backup power system maintenance in Orange County, CA.
A yearly maintenance visit covers most Orange County homes with solar-plus-battery systems. Homes in areas with frequent PSPS events may benefit from a check before each Santa Ana wind season as well.
We inspect the battery, inverter, automatic transfer switch, and critical load subpanel wiring. We also test that your system isolates from the Southern California Edison grid correctly during a simulated outage.
Only if your system uses a grid-forming inverter or a properly configured hybrid inverter. During maintenance, HCE-Electric confirms your solar recharge path works as intended when the grid is down.
Yes, untested systems can fail during an actual outage without any warning. HCE-Electric runs a controlled test to catch load balance issues, transfer switch faults, and inverter capacity problems before they matter.
Yes, we service existing solar-paired battery systems regardless of who installed them. We review your system configuration and test performance against your actual critical load needs.
Without a working backup system, your home loses power along with the rest of the grid. Regular maintenance with HCE-Electric reduces that risk by catching faults before a PSPS event occurs.
