Altadena's Licensed EV Charger Installer

Altadena is an unincorporated community under LA County jurisdiction — permits are pulled through LA County Building & Safety, not LADBS. LED Guys navigates this distinction for every installation, ensuring your charger is permitted, inspected, and signed off correctly.

LED Guys is a C10 licensed electrical contractor based in Van Nuys. Owner Jorge operates without subcontractors — every EV charger installation is completed personally, ensuring consistent quality from the first screw to the final inspection.

We specialize in residential and commercial EV charger installations: Level 1 dedicated outlet upgrades, Level 2 NEMA 14-50 GFCI installations, hardwired 240V circuits, and full electrical panel upgrades when your current panel cannot support EV charging load. Every job is permitted through LA County Building & Safety (unincorporated) and inspected before sign-off.

EV Charger Installation Questions — Altadena

A Level 2 charger on a 40A NEMA 14-50 outlet requires a minimum 50A dedicated breaker. A hardwired 48A charger requires at least a 60A circuit. Most 200A residential panels in Altadena can accommodate this. Jorge performs a full load evaluation during the written quote to confirm whether your existing panel can safely support EV charging.
EV charger installations in Altadena fall under LA County Building & Safety jurisdiction (not LADBS), as Altadena is an unincorporated community. LED Guys submits LA County permit applications, pays permit fees on your behalf, and schedules the final inspection. Most permits process within 3–7 business days.
If you drive fewer than 30 miles per day and charge overnight, Level 1 on a standard 120V outlet may be enough. Most Altadena homeowners benefit from Level 2: it charges 8–10x faster and ensures a full charge every morning regardless of daily mileage.
Hardwired delivers more amperage (up to 48A), no plug to wear out, and a cleaner installation that inspectors prefer. NEMA 14-50 is the right choice for renters, buyers who want to take the charger with them, or homeowners who want flexibility. Jorge recommends based on your specific setup during the written quote.
