What makes San Dimas different.
San Dimas blends a small-town feel with substantial custom homes, especially in the Via Verde and Walnut Creek Estates neighborhoods. Most housing is 1970s-2000s single-family with generous lot sizes, three-car garages, and frequent pool/equipment loads. We see consistent demand here for panel upgrades to support modern lifestyles — particularly Tesla and Rivian EV chargers paired with solar systems, plus pool equipment automation and outdoor landscape lighting.
Local conditions we see
Pool equipment often shares an undersized subpanel with garage circuits — common upgrade scenario when adding EV charger. Some North San Dimas hillside properties have detached ADUs or workshops needing dedicated feeders. Homes near the Puddingstone Reservoir area can have longer utility feeder runs.
Who issues the permit, and what we handle.
Electrical permits in San Dimas are handled by the City of San Dimas Building & Safety (Community Development). San Dimas's "When do I need a permit" page lists electrical panel work and adding or extending a circuit as permit items, and exempts repairing fixtures on existing wiring and replacing switches and plugs. Confirm the current list for your property. Kilowire pulls and manages the permit for the work we do.
Most San Dimas addresses are served by Southern California Edison, but your bill shows your actual provider. Meter, service drop, and transformer work on the utility side is scheduled by the utility. Timing varies; confirm for your property.

Questions we hear in San Dimas.
Does San Dimas require a permit to add a circuit?
Per the city's published guidance, upgrading a panel or adding or extending a circuit needs a permit, while replacing switches, plugs, or fixtures on existing wiring does not. Confirm with the Building & Safety Division for your scope.
What if the pool equipment shares a subpanel with the garage?
That is a common setup that can leave little room for an EV charger. A load calculation shows what the subpanel and main panel can carry, and we may recommend a separate feeder or load management.
What is involved in powering a detached workshop or ADU?
A detached structure usually needs its own feeder, disconnect, grounding, and a permit, and an ADU has additional requirements. We scope the feeder route and size on site.
How does an EV charger pair with solar?
The charger, panel capacity, and solar interconnection all affect each other. Solar interconnection is handled with the utility, and your rate plan affects when charging costs least. See our EV and NEM 3.0 guides.
Is permit-free work possible for landscape lighting?
Requirements for low-voltage landscape lighting vary by jurisdiction and by whether new line-voltage circuits are involved. Confirm with the city for your scope.
