EV Charger Installation

We're dedicated to delivering more than just a job well done—we're here to provide an experience you can rely on.

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, and many homeowners are installing home charging stations for convenient overnight charging. A professionally installed EV charger lets you plug in at home instead of relying on public stations, so you start each day with the range you need.

Types of EV Chargers

Licensed electricians can install new devices, replace outdated components, and upgrade your home with modern controls and lighting.

Level 1 chargers

Level 1 charging uses a standard 120‑volt household outlet and usually comes with the vehicle. It’s slower, often adding only a few miles of range per hour, but can work for low‑mileage drivers or plug‑in hybrids that charge overnight.

Level 2 chargers

Level 2 chargers use a 240‑volt circuit or hardwired connection and can charge up to several times faster than Level 1, making them ideal for daily commuting and larger batteries. These systems typically require professional installation of a dedicated 240‑volt circuit and may involve panel upgrades to handle the added load.

Installation Considerations

Before installing a home EV charger, electricians evaluate your electrical system and plan the best location for safe, convenient charging.

Electrical panel capacity

EV chargers, especially Level 2 units, draw significant current, so your electrical panel must have enough capacity and space for a new breaker. If the panel is near its limit, you may need a panel upgrade or subpanel to safely support the charger.

Dedicated circuits

EV chargers should be installed on their own dedicated circuit so they don’t share power with other outlets or appliances. A dedicated circuit helps prevent overloads, reduces the risk of overheating, and ensures the charger operates at full, reliable output.

Garage or exterior placement

Electricians help you choose a mounting location—often in a garage, carport, or exterior wall near your parking spot—and route wiring from the panel to the charger. They also ensure outdoor installations use weather‑rated equipment and follow code requirements for wiring, disconnects, and mounting height.

Benefits of Home EV Charging

Installing a home EV charger offers practical advantages for everyday driving and long‑term home value.

Faster charging

Level 2 home chargers can add significantly more miles of range per hour than a standard Level 1 outlet, allowing most vehicles to fully recharge overnight. Faster charging makes it easier to keep up with commuting, errands, and weekend trips without frequent public charging stops.

Convenience

Home charging lets you plug in where you park, avoiding lines, fees, and time spent at public stations. You can schedule charging during off‑peak hours and always start your day with a charged battery.

Improved home value

A properly installed Level 2 charger can make your home more attractive to future buyers and may increase resale value, especially in EV‑friendly markets. Homes that already have EV charging in place often sell faster and can command a price premium compared to similar homes without chargers.
