How PowerRoute Electric & Plumbing Makes It Easy
Step 1: Expert System Assessment
We begin with a detailed load calculation of your current panel to determine your home’s capacity and confirm your eligibility for all available SCE and federal programs. If that check turns up a Federal Pacific panel, our Federal Pacific panel replacement guide explains how to confirm it and what replacement involves.
Step 2: Full Application Management
The paperwork is our problem, not yours. We compile the required technical documentation and submit your application to ensure you meet all utility compliance requirements.
Step 3: Professional Installation
Albert’s team executes the physical upgrade—from 200-amp panel swaps to dedicated EV wiring—ensuring your system is safe, efficient, and built to modern standards.
Step 4: Final Sign-off & Payout
We coordinate the city inspection and submit the final proof-of-work to SCE. Once the project is closed, you receive your rebate check as a bonus for modernizing your home.

What Is the Edison Rebate Program
The Edison rebate program refers to incentives offered by Southern California Edison (SCE) that help reduce the cost of electrical upgrades needed for EV charging and home electrification. These programs primarily include Charge Ready Home for residential EV readiness and other vehicle-specific incentives. To see what the panel work can cost before any rebate, read our guide to electrical panel upgrade cost in Los Angeles.
Charge Ready Home Rebate
This program helps residential customers offset the costs of installing the necessary infrastructure for faster, Level 2 charging at home.
Rebate Amount: Eligible customers can receive up to $4,200 in rebates.
Purpose: The rebate is intended to cover the costs of installing a Level 2 EV charging station, which may include electrical panel upgrades and wiring.
Focus: It is designed to make home charging more accessible, particularly for those who need to upgrade their home electrical system to support the increased load.
Pre-Owned EV Rebate
For customers looking to buy a used electric vehicle rather than a new one.
Rebate Amount: Qualify for up to $4,000 when purchasing or leasing a pre-owned EV.
Additional EV Programs
Charge Smart Program: Earn up to $100 by participating in smart charging initiatives that help balance the electrical grid.
Replace Your Ride: A program offering up to $9,500 for customers who scrap their older, high-polluting vehicle and replace it with a hybrid or electric model.
Consumer Assistance Program: Offers up to $1,500 specifically for retiring an operational, older vehicle.
Electric Vehicle Rate Plans
SCE provides specific Time-Of-Use (TOU) rate plans for EV owners. These plans are designed to encourage charging during off-peak hours (typically late at night or during the day when solar energy is abundant) to take advantage of significantly lower electricity prices.
Equitable Building Decarbonization (EBD)
The EBD program is a state-sponsored initiative (administered by the CEC) designed to advance energy equity by providing “Direct Install” energy upgrades.
No-Cost Upgrades: Unlike standard rebate programs, qualifying low-to-moderate income households receive the assessment, equipment, and installation at no cost. There is no fixed “rebate check”; instead, the program covers 100% of the project costs.
Eligible Measures: Funding covers broader electrification such as heat pump HVAC systems, heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops, and the necessary electrical wiring and service panel improvements to support them.
Who Qualifies?
These programs generally apply to homeowners, and in some cases renters and multifamily property owners, provided the household meets income-eligibility requirements (typically 80% or less of the Area Median Income) or is located in a disadvantaged community.
What’s Covered?
Eligible upgrades include electrical panel upgrades, Level 2 EV charging circuits, wiring improvements, and energy-efficient electric appliances like heat pumps and induction stoves.
Who This Is For
Homeowners Adding EV Chargers
If your home was not designed for EV charging, you may need a panel upgrade and a dedicated circuit. Rebates can help reduce the upfront cost.
Landlords Upgrading Rental Properties
Adding EV charging can increase property value, attract long-term tenants, and prepare your units for future demand, with rebates helping offset costs.
HOAs Adding Shared Charging
HOAs require proper planning for load distribution, infrastructure, and permits. We handle both the design and rebate process to simplify implementation.
Commercial Property Owners
Commercial properties often need higher-capacity systems and may require 3-phase upgrades. Rebates can help reduce the cost of building scalable charging infrastructure.
