Serving Lafayette, CA
Charge Home Solutions brings expert EV charger installation, Tesla Powerwall backup, 200-amp panel upgrades, generators, and everyday electrical service to Lafayette, in Contra Costa County, and the neighborhoods around it. As a Contra Costa County city of about 26,000, Lafayette pairs everyday electrical repairs with rising demand for EV charging and Tesla Powerwall backup.
Here in California, PSPS public-safety shutoffs and wildfire-season outages make battery backup especially valuable, and high electricity rates and NEM 3.0 make pairing solar with a battery one of the smartest upgrades, which shapes how we plan each Lafayette install.
EV-ready pre-wiring is the smart move for Lafayette homeowners planning ahead, we run the conduit and capacity now so your future charger is a simple plug-in later. Surge protection and grounding upgrades quietly protect Lafayette homes full of sensitive electronics, and they are inexpensive insurance against storm-driven spikes.
Every Lafayette job is performed by a licensed, insured, Tesla-certified electrician, with permits pulled and inspections coordinated for you. We work to Title 24 and PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E requirements. You get a free in-home assessment and a clear, fixed price before any work begins.
Working in PG&E / SCE / SDG&E territory, we plan every Lafayette install around real interconnection and metering requirements, not guesswork. Where smud & pg&e charger rebates is available, we help you claim it as part of the quote.
Standby generators remain the answer for extended outages: an automatic transfer switch starts the generator seconds after the grid fails and your Lafayette home keeps running indefinitely on fuel. Sizing matters, essentials-only backup needs far less than whole-home with A/C, and our free assessment includes the load audit that gets it right.
Smart-home and low-voltage work rounds out what Lafayette homeowners ask for: smart switches and dimmers (with the no-neutral solutions older homes need), hardwired ethernet that fixes 'bad Wi-Fi' at the source, PoE security cameras, and video doorbells with the transformer upgrades that keep them online.
Time-of-use rates change the math for Lafayette homeowners: a battery or a smart EV charger can shift usage to cheaper overnight hours automatically, and we set the schedule up during installation so the savings are hands-off from day one.
From first call to finished work, Lafayette projects follow a clear path: free assessment and load calculation, a fixed written price, permit filed with Contra Costa County, installation by a licensed and Tesla-certified electrician, and municipal inspection to close it out. You're never guessing about cost, schedule, or code compliance. Financing is available on qualifying projects, and we identify every rebate and tax credit you qualify for as part of the estimate, not as an afterthought.
