As a licensed electrical contractor, we can work on anything electrical for homes or businesses. Our specialties are installing EV chargers, including networked and load sharing chargers, installing battery backup systems, advising for solar needs, upgrading main electrical panels/services, and installing “smart” panels that can work in conjunction with solar and battery backup systems. We heavily emphasize the electrical engineering necessary to be both code compliant and future-proof. Should you need small repairs or are interested in other electrical needs at the same time as you install your charger we are more than happy to help with those things provided we have availability.

There are multiple rebates available to homeowners and businesses through Central Coast Community Energy (3CE), PG&E, CALeVIP, SLO County ACPD Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Programs, and Santa Barbara ACPD Clean Air Grants for Infrastructure. Additionally, there are rebates available for Battery Backup Systems as well as Federal Tax Credits. We can advise what rebates, grants, and tax credits you may be eligible for and guide you through the process to access this money. In many cases, these rebates, grants, and tax credits can be stacked to cover the vast majority of even large projects.

There are many, many different EV chargers out there but they aren’t all eligible for rebates. A requirement for most rebate programs is that the charger be WiFi enabled to allow for use in future energy programs by 3CE or PG&E. So, keep this in mind when shopping for a charger. We keep Tesla Wall Connectors and Tesla Universal Wall Connectors in stock. Aside from these we have installed Wallbox, Clipper Creek, ChargePoint, Enel X, and others. If you have a specific charger you’d like installed we’re happy to help with that. Or, if you have no idea where to start regarding what charger will be best we can help with that, too!

Whether you have a fully electric vehicle or a PHEV (Plug-In Hyprid Electric Vehicle) we can help you get that vehicle charged up. For at home chargers, vehicles in the US have one of two charging standards - the J1772 standard or Tesla’s proprietary connector. We install chargers of either type and it is important to note that there are adaptors to go from Tesla to J1772 and vice versa. So, we can help you get set up charging whether you have Tesla, a Ford Mustang Mach E, Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia Niro, Rivian R1T, Toyota Rav 4 Prime, or any other of the nearly countless vehicles coming onto the market.

Battery Backup Systems can be a very powerful addition (pun intended!) to add to existing homes that already have solar or are planning to install solar. For certain situations, batteries can also be installed without solar for backup purposes or to help reduce peak electricity usage. For new solar systems, batteries will be critical to make the system financially viable. We’re Certified Installers for the Tesla Powerwall 3 and can advise on the pros/cons of many different systems. When paired with solar and a smart panel like the SPAN Smart Panel, you should be able to run critical items like lights, internet, and certain appliances indefinitely.

One thing we know for sure is that more and more cars and car brands are going electric, and that this movement is only going to get larger moving forward. When you get your home charger set up, future expandability is an important consideration. By choosing the right chargers and electrical hardware, we can set up your home charging system to be ready for expansion with minimal costs for the secondary install. If you’ve got more than one vehicle at home now then it won’t be long before you’ve got more than one EV! If solar and/or battery backup is on the horizon, making accommodations during the charger install can save thousands in the future.
