ELECTRICAL SERVICES IN IRVINE, CA
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Irvine's housing stock spans a wide range — from 1970s–1980s tract homes in Woodbridge and Westpark running on 100-amp panels, to 1990s–2000s construction in Northwood and Turtle Rock on 150–200A service, to brand-new builds in Great Park Neighborhoods and Portola Springs. The common thread: EV chargers, heat pumps, home batteries, and smart home systems are pushing even newer panels to their limits.
Wilson Electric upgrades residential and commercial panels throughout Irvine to 200A or 400A service. We perform a full load calculation, coordinate the utility disconnect with Southern California Edison, pull all required permits through the City of Irvine Community Development Department, and pass the city inspection — all included.
Pricing: $3,500–$5,500 for most residential main service panel upgrades. Free on-site assessments available.

EV Charger Installation
Irvine has one of the highest rates of EV ownership in all of Southern California. Wilson Electric installs Level 2 home EV charging stations throughout the city — dedicated 240V, 50A circuit, permit included, all major brands supported including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Emporia, and Grizzl-E.
Great Park Neighborhoods, Portola Springs, and newer Irvine communities often have solar-ready or EV-ready panels already roughed in. We assess your existing infrastructure during the site visit and design the cleanest installation path for your home.
Pricing: $650–$1,500 for labor, not including charger hardware and materials + permit. Most installs completed in 2–4 hours.
