    Bedroom Ceiling Wire Travel

    240V EV Charger Installation -- Done Well and at a Reasonable Price in San Diego David was our installer and he was sharp, professional, neat, and tidy. He patiently answered all my rookie questions and helped me better understand our system. And every person I spoke to, texted, or emailed with at Faraday was pleasant, professional, and genuinely trying to help. Our condo presented a real puzzle -- multiple challenges stacked on top of each other: 1. A 100A unit limit (calculated by Faraday after examining our building's electrical panel), which capped the circuit at 40A max 2. Our circuit box is in the bedroom on the 2nd level; the charger needed to go on the 1st level 3. No direct access between the bedroom and garage 4. No adjacent open slots in the circuit box David assessed the situation and presented a clear, workable plan: rearrange circuits in the box, cut a few strategic holes in the ceiling and walls to route wire across the room, through the floor, and into the garage. What gave me confidence going in: Faraday had done the same kind of job for one of our neighbors here in the Kearny Mesa area back in 2021. They were kind enough to let me see how the project turned out. They gave it the thumbs up -- and there wasn't a trace of the installation process anywhere. Just a clean, finished result. David is in high demand and is a dedicated worker, so our schedule timing didn't initially align for his first visit -- that was our only hiccup. He came back for the installation about a week later and wrapped it up in roughly two hours. He was neat, tidy, and respectful of our home throughout. The holes he made were designed to be easy to patch and paint, and he left them clean and stable until I have time to get around to it. My wife offered him lunch while he was working; he said he'd rather finish the job first and take it with him -- which he did. (My kind of work ethic -- and honestly my vote too. ) TIP: If in San Diego, research the SDG&E Pricing Plans; we chose EV-TOU-5. We have not received a full bill yet, but we're hopeful charging during Super Off-Peak hours helps. Caveat: I'm no electrician; I may have mixed up Amps/Volts/Watts references :)

    Contacted Faraday Electric through the Tesla recommendation website which connected me to their Texas office. Had a conversation with Victor, who told me what he needed (pictures of location for the ev charger and of my breaker box). Within an hour he sent me a quote and told me they have an opening the next day. Their tech, scheduled for a 2-hour window, apologized for being late. She realized that she had grabbed the wrong supplies for what I needed. I had no problem with it since my wife hadn't received her car yet. In all was happy with the work she did.

    Updated Review: I'm updating my review because, although the initial installation of the Tesla Wall Charger was done well, the follow-up experience was disappointing. After just six months, the charger stopped working. When I called the company, they quoted me around $150 just to inspect it, and said it could cost another $200 or more to reinstall it. What they failed to mention is that the charger was still under Tesla's warranty. All I needed to do was contact Tesla via the 1-800 number or request service through the Tesla app. Tesla promptly sent me a full replacement unit that was incredibly simple to install--just a matter of popping off the faceplate and replacing it. I feel this company was not upfront with information and would not use them again due to the lack of honesty.

    Others had their holes patched when done. Easy fix but better quality expected for a job that cost almost two grand.

    Pros: they were able to install my 100amp EV charger. Charger works as it should. Installer was knowledgeable and courteous. Con: seems they are just a middle man that outsources other electric companies to do their work in San Antonio. The estimated cost for the service changed 3 different times and more than doubled by the time the work was done. They had to come multiple times to finish the work as they didn't have all the materials needed. They had the charger model and knew the required amp needed besides the fact we spoke about it at the beginning. Return to finish work went from a couple of weeks to about a month. Luckily they left the charger usable during that time. For the price the work was not as clean I would have expected. Sent pictures about the work and no attempt was made to make it right. Sadly I will not be advising others to use this company.

    This business is unprofessional about the work. I was asked to take photos about my main panel and sub-panel, along with the parking location. After providing such photos, the team decides to install the Tesla charger on the sub-panel (which is the mistake). After the installation, we constantly have issues with the charging process. While discussing with my friends and neighbors, we realized that if this were installed on the main panel, nothing would break and things would be much smoother.  Realizing this, I contacted the business and they acknowledged this mistake, but required us to pay additional $350 for their mistake. I refused.

    Not sure how this company has a 4.6-star rating... I contacted Faraday to get a quote on installing a Tesla Wall Charger in my garage. Within minutes of submitting pictures and information into their online application, I had a call from "Rudy" promising me they could come to my house the next day to install the charger and that they would even "waive" their normal pick up fee. I explained that I wanted the job permitted and told him that I had some reservations about reviews that I had been seeing in Yelp regarding lack of follow-through. Rudy explained that there had been a hiccup with one of their personnel that was key in the permitting process, but that it was resolved. Based on his assurances, I said we could move forward, but only after they had secured the permit from my local jurisdiction. I paid extra for them to process the permit. A couple weeks later, permit in hand, we scheduled the job. Their electrician arrived on time, did the installation, and the charger worked as expected. I provided feedback at that time, that I wasn't totally jazzed about how they routed the conduit from the electrical panel to the charger. Specifically, instead of running the conduit 6 inches higher on top of the open joists of my garage, the conduit passed right next to the rail of my garage door opener. The response made it sound like this was required, but having extensive contracting experience, I know that running conduit over the joists was not required by code and will only make replacing the garage door opener more difficult in the future. The real problem here is that they took my $$$ to permit the job, but never followed up on closing out the permit. Never scheduled an inspection and never responded to my communications after I had already paid. I guess their permit-scam is still ongoing and thankfully the local electrical inspector let me close out the permit without their participation.

    Getting 45 miles per hour of charging, Beautiful!

    Faraday Electric did a great job installing my new Tesla Universal wall connector in my Juno Beach Florida townhouse garage. The installer Luis was friendly, fast, efficient and his work was very concise. Happy to have found a Tesla certified installer that was available just in time and delivered as promised. Five Stars

    Tesla Wall Connector.

    Very impressed the quote documents based on the pics I sent. With the level of detail provided I knew exactly what was involved. Communication was very prompt and succinct. Pricing was fair for the work involved. I highly recommend Faraday Electric.

    From the estimate to the final work done, Faraday Electric was wonderful. I was having an EV charger installed in my garage. Victor called to discuss the estimate, which is the most detailed estimate I have every received, and answer any questions I had. The day of the install the tech showed up on time, explained everything he was going to do and did a clean job. If you are going to have an EV charger installed, I would use Faraday Electric.

Grant took care of the coordination with SDGE and when installation day arrived, SDGE showed up promptly to secure power and remove the meter.

They completed the panel installation within a few hours, and had the power to my house back on before anything I'm my fridge/freezer had a chance to go bad. Awesome! The following day, Andy from SRP, arrived bright and early to do the stucco patchwork around the new panel. Great job, Andy! We were really impressed not only with the quality of work and clean up , but also with the clear communication between everyone involved. Thank you team SRP! I would use SRP again. Pete J.

Highly recommend Service Pro.
