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.
