What your installation includes
Permits exist to verify that new electrical load is installed safely. When you work with our network, pulling the right permit and passing inspection are part of the job—not an afterthought that voids your warranty or insurance.
Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, LADWP territory, and SCE-served county pockets all have different counters and checklists. We route your project to pros who file in the correct jurisdiction.
Inspectors look at the full path: breaker, wire, charger, and sometimes the panel’s ability to support the new load. If an upgrade is required, it is documented in the same permit family where applicable.

Installation process for Permit & Inspection
Your contractor completes the application, posts the job card, and schedules rough or final inspection as required. You get copies of the permit and sign-off for your records—handy for resale and insurance.
When your install needs panel work
If the authority having jurisdiction requires panel correction before approving a new EV circuit, we explain the finding and next steps in plain English, with EV charging as the reason for the work.
