Why La Jolla Homeowners Rely On Us for EV Charger Installation

La Jolla’s coastal elegance and historic homes offer incredible charm – but they also bring unique electrical challenges. The salty ocean air can corrode exposed wiring and components over time, making it especially important to install EV chargers using high-quality, weather-resistant materials and proven techniques that protect your investment. Experienced with La Jolla’s Distinctive Homes From oceanfront estates to mid-century gems tucked into the hills, La Jolla homes often come with aging electrical systems that weren’t designed for today’s tech. At Point Loma Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air, we’re experts at modernizing older home systems while preserving the integrity and beauty of your home. White-Glove Service from Start to Finish We take care of everything – system evaluations, permit handling, panel upgrades, and professional installation – so you don’t have to lift a finger. Our licensed electricians ensure your EV charger is installed safely, cleanly, and up to code. Tailored Solutions for Your Home and Lifestyle Whether you need a fast Level 2 EV charger for a daily commute or a more gradual Level 1 setup for occasional use, we’ll recommend a solution that fits your driving habits, home’s capacity, and energy goals. No cookie-cutter installs – just custom work that fits the La Jolla lifestyle.

Powering the Future: EV Charger Installation in La Jolla, CA

La Jolla is one of San Diego’s most forward-thinking and environmentally conscious communities – making it the perfect place to own an electric vehicle. With its scenic coastal drives, luxury homes, and focus on sustainable living, it’s no surprise that more La Jolla residents are making the switch to EVs. However, public charging stations can be limited in both availability and convenience. That’s why having a Level 2 charger installed at home is quickly becoming a must-have upgrade for eco-minded homeowners. Beyond convenience, the unique coastal climate of La Jolla makes professional EV charger installation even more important. The salty marine air can speed up corrosion and damage unprotected electrical components, especially on outdoor installations. Our licensed electricians are familiar with the demands of La Jolla’s coastal environment and use weather-rated materials and proper sealing techniques to ensure your EV charging system is safe, durable, and built to last.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel to install an EV charger?

Many older homes in La Jolla may require an electrical panel upgrade to safely support a Level 2 EV charger. During our evaluation, we’ll check your system’s capacity and recommend any necessary upgrades to ensure your home can handle the additional load.

Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V outlet and are much slower, often taking 12-24 hours for a full charge. Level 2 chargers run on 240V and can charge most EVs in just 4-8 hours. We typically recommend Level 2 chargers for daily use at home.

Most EV charger installations can be completed in one day. If an electrical panel upgrade is needed, the process may take longer, but we’ll walk you through the timeline and keep everything on schedule.

Yes! We work with all major EV charger brands like Tesla, JuiceBox, ChargePoint, and more. We can help you choose the right model for your vehicle, charging habits, and budget. We also install customer-supplied chargers.

Yes, a permit is typically required, especially if electrical upgrades are involved. Don’t worry – we handle all permitting and inspections as part of your installation.

I am very pleased with this company because they have great people working for them. [My technician] was organized and all were at the house in 2 days. Paper booties were worn. The electricians knew what they were doing and produce excellent work. I had 3 new circuits put in along with updating box. All this was done in one day. This co also sends a pix of technician who is coming to your house. Every person had lovely manners, and cleaned up, even vacuumed under stove when it was moved. A fine experience and I’d use them again.

I had a water leak at my house and its cause was extremely difficult to find. Our tech spent a long time carefully analyzing and testing all possible options until he found the cause of the leak, like really a true detective, that nobody else before him was able to find. He demonstrated not only that he is a truly top professional but the he also is kind, patient and understanding. He explained all the issues very well and was also mindful of my time and convenience. He works very fast, efficiently and reliably and is extremely nice human being.

Point Loma Electric and Plumbing did electrical work in our house once and we liked the service the first time so we called them again. The technicians have been nothing but friendly and professional both times. They walked us through every step of the process. They showed up on time and completed the work in a timely manner. If we had any concerns they made sure the address them, if anything was needed, they handled it. We will definitely use Point Loma Electric and Plumbing again. Johnny who oversaw the work is the best!! Thank you

Had an emergency water heater leak. Called Point Loma. Within the hour, James shows up and goes to work. And by the next day, we have a tankless water heater up and running. Thanks to James for the excellent customer attention, service and hard work!

Always great to work with them - years 2011 for new electrical panel, and 2025 for some minor upgrades. Erich and Leo corrected 3 problems with old wiring we were having. Very great team and very much appreciate their work.

My a/c has not been working for some time. I called Point Loma Electrical and they sent Nicholas Mullins to stop by and check it out. What a great guy. He was very respectful, honest, evaluated the situation and made recommendations that I felt were straight forward. This company is top notch and I would recommend them to any of my friends and family. This is now my go to ac repair company.

We had Point Loma Elec rewire our entire 62 year-old house's electric. They worked efficiently and were thorough letting us know what was discovered and done each day. Timely, neat, and responsive and affordable with great financing. Highly recommend.

This is a great team. I had to replace some fluorescent lights in the kitchen. I couldn't do it myself because the ballasts had to be replaced and that's above my skill level. Anthony and Matt came today and put in new led lights (with a 10 year warranty- fluorescent lights are ancient tech). Anthony and Matt were very professional and efficient. I would recommend them highly!
