Electrical work in Irvine homes

Irvine is master-planned, so most homes date from the 1970s onward, with large newer communities around the Great Park and Portola Springs. Older Woodbridge and University Park homes often have original 100A to 150A panels, while newer homes are more likely to need dedicated circuits for EV chargers, batteries and home offices.

Most Irvine neighborhoods have an HOA. Check architectural rules before adding exterior lighting, a generator or a charger in a shared garage. Commercial calls from the Irvine Spectrum and the business complex near John Wayne Airport are common too.
