EV Charger Installation Process Bellwood

Simple Installation, Professional Results Every Time

First, we evaluate your home’s electrical system to determine what’s needed for your EV charger installation. Most homes require a 240-volt circuit – the same type that powers your dryer or electric stove. We check your electrical panel capacity and the best location for your charger.

Next, we handle the electrical work. This typically involves running a new circuit from your panel to your garage or driveway, installing a dedicated breaker, and mounting your Level 2 charging station. We ensure everything meets local electrical codes and safety standards.

Finally, we test the system and show you how to use your new charger. The whole process usually takes 3-4 hours for a standard installation. If your electrical panel needs upgrading, we handle that too – we’ve been doing panel upgrades in Bellwood for decades.

You’ll be charging your EV at home the same day we install it. No waiting, no complications, no surprises.

These use 240-volt power and charge your EV 6-8 times faster than Level 1 chargers that plug into regular outlets.A typical Level 2 charger adds 25-40 miles of range per hour, meaning most EVs charge completely overnight. This works well for daily driving and ensures you start each day with a full battery.

Older homes with 100-amp panels might need upgrades, especially if you’re already using most of your electrical capacity for heating, cooling, and other appliances.If a panel upgrade is needed, we handle the entire process including permits and utility coordination.
