LOCAL KNOWLEDGE. PRACTICAL PLANNING.

Your address shapes
the next step.

Stay Grounded Electric is based in Riverside. Before a panel upgrade, EV charger, or remodel, confirm your property’s utility provider and permitting jurisdiction. That information helps shape the electrical scope and the order of the work.

01 / PANEL UPGRADES

Start with utility coordination.

For Riverside Public Utilities customers, the city’s residential service-upgrade checklist calls for a utility meter spot before a main-panel upgrade. Coordinate that step with permits and inspections before setting an installation date.

02 / HOME EV CHARGING

Bring the charger details.

The charger specifications, parking position, and existing electrical equipment help establish the circuit and installation scope. Riverside publishes residential EV-charger guidance alongside its current building forms.

03 / RPU CUSTOMERS

Review your charging options.

Riverside Public Utilities offers a separately metered EV rate option with its own eligibility and inspection process. Check current utility requirements while planning the installation; rates and programs can change.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Riverside project questions.

Have something else in mind?
Give us a call.

Does a Riverside panel upgrade need a permit?

The City of Riverside’s residential electrical service-upgrade checklist calls for a permit and inspections. Confirm the property’s jurisdiction and utility provider, then review the requirements for the specific scope.

Are all Riverside properties served by Riverside Public Utilities?

Do not assume the utility from the mailing address alone. Check the electric bill or confirm the provider for the property before planning utility coordination.

Will my home need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

That depends on the charger and the existing system’s electrical capacity. Share the equipment specifications and parking location so the electrical scope can be evaluated before installation.
