Working In Santa Monica
Santa Monica is its own city. Southern California Edison delivers the power, not LADWP, and the city’s Building and Safety Division issues the permits. LADWP rebates and LADBS rules do not apply here.
Much of the work is in multi-unit buildings, where a tenant or an owner wants a charger or a bigger panel but the service belongs to the building. Getting the HOA or the owner on board is the first step, before any wire is pulled.
Utility: Southern California Edison, outage line 1-800-611-1911. Permits: the City of Santa Monica’s Building and Safety Division.
Edison does not pay a rebate for the charger itself. Its Charge Ready Home program pays for the panel and the 240 volt circuit, up to $4,200, for income-qualified customers. LADWP rebates do not apply here.
What Santa Monica Calls Us For

- Condo panel upgradesUnits from the 1960s and 1970s often have small subpanels fed from a meter room you do not control.
- Lighting for older bungalowsPre-war houses north of Wilshire have plaster ceilings and little attic space, which changes how recessed lights go in.
- Outdoor and coastal repairsSalt air near the beach is hard on exterior outlets, fixtures and boxes.
