EV Charger Installation in Saratoga, CA
Saratoga homes are typically larger 1950s–1970s estates on quiet wooded lots. Median home values north of $3M mean homeowners want the install done right the first time — including panel upgrades, sub-panels, and second-charger circuits to support a multi-EV household. We pull Saratoga permits, coordinate with PG&E for service upgrades, and finish the work clean.

Panel Considerations in Saratoga
Saratoga estates frequently still run the original 100A or 125A service from the 50s–70s. With $3M+ home values and longer wire runs, panel upgrades to 200A/400A often pencil — but DPM keeps a clean older panel in service.
