Working In Long Beach
Long Beach is its own city. Southern California Edison delivers the power and the city’s building department issues the permits.
Long Beach has thousands of bungalows from the 1920s, and salt air near the water. The two show up together: old wiring inside the house and corroded equipment outside it.
Utility: Southern California Edison, outage line 1-800-611-1911. Permits: the City of Long Beach building department.
Edison pays no rebate for the charger. Charge Ready Home covers the panel and the circuit, up to $4,200, for income-qualified customers. Long Beach’s own charger permit form requires GFCI protection for a NEMA 14-50 outlet.
