SCE Offering Up to $4,200 Rebate for Electrical Panel Upgrades and EV Charger Installation

If you’re a Southern California Edison (SCE) customer in Los Angeles looking to install a Level 2 EV charger at home, there’s good news. SCE’s Charge Ready Home program can help cover the cost of upgrading your electrical panel — with rebates up to $4,200.

At 911 Construction & Electric, we’re proud to be a certified SCE installer for this program. We help homeowners take full advantage of these incentives while ensuring the work is done safely and up to code.

What Is the SCE Charge Ready Home Program?

SCE’s Charge Ready Home program provides rebates to single-family homeowners who need to upgrade their electrical panel to support a Level 2 EV charger. Many older homes in Los Angeles still have 100-amp or 125-amp panels, which aren’t sufficient for modern EV charging.

Eligible customers can receive:

• Up to $4,200 if you qualify as income-qualified (low-income household)
• Up to $2,100 if you live in a disadvantaged community

This rebate is designed to make switching to an electric vehicle more affordable by removing one of the biggest barriers: the cost of a panel upgrade.

Why Panel Upgrades Are Often Necessary

Most homes built before 1990 weren’t designed with EV charging in mind. Installing a Level 2 charger typically requires a 200-amp panel. Without the upgrade, you risk:

• Tripped breakers
• Overloaded circuits
• Potential safety hazards

Upgrading your panel not only allows for EV charging, but also increases your home’s capacity for future appliances, air conditioning, or home additions. It can even improve your property value.

911 Construction & Electric Is an SCE Certified Installer

Working with a certified installer is important. Only approved contractors can complete the prequalification and documentation process required by SCE.

How the SCE Rebate Process Works

Here’s what to expect when working with our team:

1. Initial Consultation – We assess your current panel and determine if you qualify for the rebate.
2. Application Submission – We submit the prequalification using your SCE information.
3. Panel Upgrade & Charger Installation – Our team completes the work safely and efficiently.
4. Rebate Processing – Once SCE approves the project, the rebate is issued (either to you or applied toward the cost).

Is Your Home Eligible?

You may qualify if:

• You are an SCE residential customer
• You live in a single-family home
• Your current panel is under 200 amps
• You meet income guidelines or live in a disadvantaged community

Even if you don’t qualify for the full $4,200, many homeowners still save significantly by taking advantage of the program.
