About LED Guys

Burbank's Licensed EV Charger Installer

LED Guys is a C10 licensed electrical contractor based in Van Nuys, serving Burbank homeowners and businesses with professional EV charger installation. Jorge, the owner and lead electrician, brings over a decade of hands-on electrical experience to every project — from single-car garage NEMA 14-50 outlets to multi-vehicle hardwired installations with panel upgrades.

Every EV charger installation in Burbank requires a permit from the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division. LED Guys manages the full permit process — application, scheduling, installation, and final inspection sign-off — so you never have to navigate city bureaucracy on your own. We handle Level 1 and Level 2 installations across all major charger brands and vehicle types.

Whether you drive a Tesla, Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian, Chevy Bolt, or any other EV, we will assess your current panel capacity, recommend the right circuit size and installation method, and complete a clean, code-compliant install. If your panel needs an upgrade to support Level 2 charging, we handle that too — all under one licensed contractor, one quote, one project.

Permit Authority & Requirements for Burbank, CA

EV charger installations in Burbank fall under the jurisdiction of the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division. A permit is required for all EV charger installations under NEC Article 625, which governs electric vehicle charging system equipment. LED Guys pulls all required permits before any work begins and manages the full process from permit application through final inspection sign-off with the City of Burbank. Skipping the permit process is not simply a paperwork issue — unpermitted EV charger installations can void your homeowner's insurance coverage, create significant liability during a home sale or refinance, and result in failed final inspections that require costly remediation.

Installation Method

NEMA 14-50 Outlet vs Hardwired EV Charger — What LED Guys Recommends

NEMA 14-50 GFCI Outlet

  • How it works: A dedicated 240V, 4-prong outlet is installed in your garage or exterior wall. Your charger plugs into it — just like an appliance.
  • Max output: 40A continuous (50A circuit with GFCI protection required by NEC code)
  • Pros: Charger is portable — take it with you if you move or upgrade vehicles. Versatile outlet usable for other 240V appliances.
  • Cons: Plug connection point can wear over time. GFCI breakers required by code can cause nuisance tripping on some charger models. Slightly slower than hardwired 48A+ units.
  • Who it is for: Renters or homeowners planning to move within 3–5 years, buyers who want to keep charger flexibility, budget-conscious installs.
"We install GFCI-rated 14-50 outlets correctly every time — and we select breakers that eliminate nuisance tripping issues." — Jorge

Hardwired Direct Connection

  • How it works: The charger is permanently wired directly to your electrical panel — no plug, no outlet. Sealed conduit run to charger mounting location.
  • Max output: 48A–80A depending on panel capacity and charger model
  • Pros: Cleanest, safest installation. Fastest possible charge rate. No connection point to wear out. Preferred by all major charger manufacturers and by City of Burbank Building and Safety inspectors.
  • Cons: Charger cannot be unplugged and relocated without an electrician.
  • Who it is for: Homeowners staying long-term, anyone wanting maximum speed and a professional-looking install, multi-EV households, ADUs with dedicated panels.
"For most homeowners in Burbank, we recommend hardwired — it is cleaner, faster, and holds up better over years of daily use." — Jorge

Common Questions

What Burbank Homeowners Ask Before Installing an EV Charger

Will my electrical panel handle a Level 2 charger?

It depends on your current panel size and load. A 100A panel can often support a Level 2 charger if existing loads allow, but most modern installations perform better with a 200A panel. Jorge performs a full load calculation on-site to determine capacity. If an upgrade is needed, LED Guys handles panel upgrades and EV charger installation as a single permitted project.

How long does a Level 2 EV charger installation take?

Most installations are completed in 2–4 hours. The timeline depends on conduit run length, whether a panel upgrade is required, and permit scheduling with the City of Burbank. Jorge provides a realistic schedule during the written quote, including permit lead time and inspection coordination.

Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Burbank?

Yes. All EV charger installations in Burbank require a permit from the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division under NEC Article 625. LED Guys pulls all required permits before work begins and coordinates the final inspection. Unpermitted installations can void homeowner's insurance, create liability during a home sale, and require costly remediation if discovered during an inspection.

NEMA 14-50 or hardwired — which is really better?

For most Burbank homeowners who plan to stay in their home long-term, hardwired is the better choice — it delivers faster charging at 48A or more, has no plug connection point to wear out, and produces a cleaner finished installation. A NEMA 14-50 outlet is the right call for renters, homeowners who may move within a few years, or anyone who prioritizes the flexibility to take their charger with them.

Can I get a tax credit on my EV charger installation?

Yes. The federal 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit covers up to 30% of qualified EV charger installation costs. LED Guys documents all labor and materials in a written invoice formatted to support your tax filing. Consult your tax professional to confirm eligibility based on your income and property type.

What if I have a Tesla, Ford, Rivian, or other brand?

All vehicles are supported. The J1772 connector is the universal standard for Level 2 charging and is compatible with every EV sold in the US. Tesla vehicles use NACS and come with a J1772 adapter for non-Tesla chargers. LED Guys installs brand-specific units including the Tesla Wall Connector, and can advise on NACS adapter compatibility for any charger brand.

Common Questions

EV Charger Installation FAQ — Burbank, CA

A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit, typically 40–60A. A 100A service panel may support this if existing loads allow room, but a 200A panel is the standard for households also running HVAC, electric ranges, and other high-draw appliances. Jorge performs a full load calculation during the written quote to determine exactly what your panel can support and whether an upgrade is recommended.
EV charger installations in Burbank are permitted through the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division under NEC Article 625. LED Guys submits the permit application, schedules the installation after permit approval, and coordinates the final inspection. We are present at the inspection to address any questions from the Burbank inspector. You receive a fully permitted, city-approved installation with inspection records on file.
Level 1 (120V) adds 3–5 miles per hour using your existing outlet — adequate for drivers with short commutes under 30 miles who charge overnight. Level 2 (240V) adds 20–60 miles per hour and fully charges nearly any EV overnight. If you drive more than 30 miles per day, own a larger-battery vehicle (60+ kWh), or have two EVs, Level 2 is the practical choice. Jorge will help you make the right call during the Written quotes.
A NEMA 14-50 GFCI outlet installation typically costs less upfront because the charger itself plugs in rather than being permanently wired. Hardwired installations involve slightly more labor but produce a cleaner result, support higher amperage (48A+), and eliminate the plug-and-outlet wear point. The real cost difference depends more on conduit run length and panel work than the connection method. Both options receive a written itemized quote at no charge.
Installation costs vary based on the distance from your electrical panel to the charger location, whether conduit must run through walls or outdoors, panel capacity and any upgrade required, and the charger model selected. A straightforward garage installation with a short conduit run typically costs $350–$700 for labor and materials. Panel upgrades add to that figure. LED Guys provides Written quotess so you know the full cost before any work begins.
The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (30C) covers up to 30% of qualifying EV charger installation costs for residential property. LED Guys provides a detailed written invoice documenting all equipment and labor costs, formatted to support your tax filing. Consult a qualified tax professional to confirm your eligibility based on income, property type, and the tax year of installation.

Tesla Wall Connector Certified Installer GlowbackLED Trusted Lighting Installer GlowbackLED® Trusted Lighting Installer
Tesla Energy Certified  —  GlowbackLED Trusted Installer

Certified by Tesla Energy for Wall Connector and Powerwall

The Tesla Energy Certified Installer designation identifies professionals who have completed Tesla Energy training, hold deep technical knowledge of Tesla Energy products, and deliver the highest-quality installations for Tesla customers. LED Guys holds this certification for both product lines — a combination very few Los Angeles electricians can offer.

Tesla Wall Connector installed by LED Guys in Los Angeles

Wall Connector Certified Installer

LED Guys is certified by Tesla Energy to install the Tesla Wall Connector and Universal Wall Connector to Tesla's own installation standards. That certification covers the full scope of a residential or commercial Wall Connector project: conductor sizing per NEC Article 625, dedicated circuit breaker selection, conduit and wire routing, GFCI breaker protection per NEC 625.54, and proper grounding and bonding at the panel.

After the physical installation, Jorge commissions the Wall Connector through the Tesla One app — connecting the unit to Wi-Fi, registering it to your Tesla account, setting the output amperage to match your circuit, and configuring access controls if you want to restrict charging to authorized vehicles. For multi-vehicle homes and commercial sites, we configure Power Sharing so up to six Wall Connectors intelligently share a single circuit without exceeding its capacity.

The Wall Connector delivers up to 48 amps on a 60-amp circuit, the fastest Level 2 charging Tesla offers for home use. Its built-in amperage adjustment (12, 16, 24, 32, 40, or 48 amps) means it works with any panel — from a 100-amp service with limited headroom to a 400-amp commercial main. Tesla's NACS connector is now the North American charging standard (SAE J3400), so the Wall Connector charges Teslas natively and other EV brands via adapter or native NACS port. The Universal Wall Connector adds a built-in J1772 connector for households with mixed EV brands.

Powerwall Certified Installer

Certified for Tesla Powerwall home battery installations — whole-home backup, Backup Gateway integration, solar coordination, and Charge on Solar setup so your Tesla charges from excess solar production automatically.

Powerwall installations include gateway wiring, backup circuit selection based on your household's critical loads, and utility interconnection paperwork for LADWP net metering. Jorge configures Storm Watch, self-consumption mode, and time-based control through the Tesla app so your system responds automatically to grid conditions and rate schedules.

When a project calls for custom-fabricated LED lighting — a coffered ceiling with built-in linear channels, back-lit niches, under-cabinet strip lighting with dimmer controls, or a commercial lobby with signature pendant fixtures — Jorge sources components from GlowbackLED and installs them to their technical specifications. Every GlowbackLED installation includes proper driver placement, dimmer compatibility verification, and clean concealed wiring so the finished result matches the design intent.
