LED Guys is the licensed electrical contractor Hollywood Hills homeowners call for Tesla and Level 2 EV charger installs, electrical panel upgrades for canyon and hillside properties, and custom LED lighting for view homes along Mulholland, Laurel Canyon, and the Bird Streets. We pull every required LADBS permit, never charge overtime for nights or weekends, and include a free electrical load calculation with every estimate so you know your panel can handle a new charger before we ever start work.
From the winding curves of Mulholland Drive and the celebrity-favorite Bird Streets to the canyon roads of Laurel Canyon and Beachwood Drive — LED Guys serves all of Hollywood Hills, CA.
Hillside and canyon properties throughout Hollywood Hills come with electrical challenges most contractors aren't prepared for — narrow driveways, long conduit runs to detached garages, steep terrain, and older homes with panels that were never designed to handle a 50-amp EV charger circuit on top of pool equipment, HVAC, and smart home systems. LED Guys has spent over a decade working on exactly this kind of property across the Hollywood Hills and greater San Fernando Valley, and we know how to route wiring cleanly through finished walls, hillside crawl spaces, and detached garage structures without tearing your home apart.
Every EV charger installation starts with a free NEC Article 220 load calculation, so you know upfront whether your existing panel can support a new Tesla Wall Connector or hardwired Level 2 charger, or whether a 200-amp panel upgrade makes more sense long-term. If a panel upgrade is needed, we can complete the upgrade and the EV charger installation in the same visit — saving you a second round of LADBS inspections and a second service call. We also handle the paperwork for the federal 30C EV charger tax credit (IRS Form 8911), giving you the documentation you need to claim it.
As a C10 licensed electrical contractor (#1137497), we pull every required permit through LADBS before work begins — never after. We're also one of the only local electricians offering true 24/7 emergency service with zero overtime charges, which matters in a hillside neighborhood where a tripped GFCI or a dead panel at 9pm shouldn't mean a 1.5x rate increase.
A straightforward, permit-compliant process built for hillside properties — from your first call to final LADBS inspection.
Call or email us with details about your property and project. We'll discuss your panel, garage layout, and EV charger or lighting goals.
We perform a free NEC Article 220 load calculation and provide a transparent, itemized estimate — no surprise add-ons later.
We file and pull all required LADBS permits before any work begins, then schedule your installation around your timeline.
Our licensed crew completes the work cleanly, tests every circuit, and coordinates the final LADBS inspection for sign-off.
From EV chargers to full rewiring, every service below is performed by our licensed C10 crew with permits pulled through LADBS.

Call NowEV ownership is highest along Mulholland Drive, throughout the Bird Streets, and in the Outpost Estates and Whitley Heights neighborhoods — all areas LED Guys serves regularly for charger installations and panel upgrades.
Hillside homes have unique electrical demands. Here are issues we resolve regularly throughout the Hills.
Many Hollywood Hills homes still have 100-amp panels that can't safely support a Level 2 EV charger alongside existing loads. We assess and upgrade to 200-amp service when needed.
Outdoor outlets and pool equipment near canyon moisture often trip GFCI breakers repeatedly. We diagnose wiring faults and ground issues to stop nuisance trips for good.
Hillside lots often separate the garage from the main panel. We run properly sized conduit and conductors to support EV charging without voltage drop.
Older homes in Whitley Heights and Hollywood Dell may still have legacy wiring. We safely replace it with modern, code-compliant circuits.
Incompatible dimmers and LED retrofit bulbs cause flickering in older recessed fixtures. We replace fixtures and dimmers with matched LED-rated components.
Hillside properties are prone to outages during storms and high winds. We wire solar and battery backup systems to keep critical circuits running.

LED Guys provides licensed electrical and lighting services throughout Hollywood Hills and the greater San Fernando Valley.
Answers to questions we hear most often from Hollywood Hills homeowners.
Yes. Any new electrical circuit or panel work for an EV charger requires a permit from LADBS. LED Guys pulls all required permits before starting work and coordinates the final inspection so your installation is fully code-compliant.
It depends on your panel size and existing loads. We perform a free NEC Article 220 load calculation to determine available capacity. Many Hollywood Hills homes with 100-amp panels need a 200-amp upgrade to safely add a Level 2 charger.
In most cases, yes. We can complete a panel upgrade and EV charger installation together, which saves you a second LADBS inspection and a second service call compared to scheduling these separately.
No. LED Guys offers true 24/7 emergency electrical service with zero overtime charges, regardless of the day or time you call.
Yes. We provide the documentation needed to support a federal 30C tax credit claim using IRS Form 8911 for qualifying EV charger installations.
Yes. Hollywood Hills properties frequently have detached garages or carports separated from the main electrical panel. We regularly run properly sized conduit and conductors across hillside lots to support EV charging at the garage.
LED Guys also provides electrical and lighting services throughout these nearby Los Angeles communities.

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.
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.
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.
