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 Generator Installation in Orange County, CA
Generator installation in Orange County, CA means more than placing a unit outside your home. HCE-Electric handles the full process: load calculation, transfer switch wiring, panel connection, and code-compliant placement. Orange County falls under South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) oversight, which sets local rules for generator operation and emissions. Many neighborhoods also have HOA setback and noise requirements that affect where a unit can sit on your property. We size each system to your actual electrical load, not just square footage. That means your HVAC, refrigerator, medical equipment, and security system stay running when the grid goes down. Southern California homeowners face Public Safety Power Shutoffs, wildfire-related blackouts, and summer heat events that strain the grid. A permanently wired standby generator detects an outage automatically and restores power without any manual steps. Call HCE-Electric to schedule a site assessment for your Orange County home.
