No more planning your life around public charging stations or wondering if you’ll make it home. Your garage becomes your personal fueling station, ready whenever you need it.

Home EV Charger Installation Process

Simple Installation, Professional Results

First, we assess your electrical panel and determine what’s needed for your specific EV and charging requirements. Most homes need a dedicated 240V circuit, similar to what powers your electric dryer.

We handle all the electrical work, from running new wiring to installing the proper circuit breaker. If your panel needs upgrading to handle the additional load, we take care of that too. Every installation meets Illinois electrical codes and safety standards.

Once everything’s installed and inspected, we test the system to make sure you’re getting optimal charging speeds. We also help you understand how to maximize any available rebates – some Burbank area residents can save up to $3,750 through ComEd’s programs.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Burbank, IL?

Installation costs typically range from $800 to $2,500, depending on your electrical setup and the distance from your panel to the charging location. The charger itself costs $300-$1,200, while electrical work ranges from $500-$1,500. However, Illinois offers substantial rebates that can dramatically reduce your out-of-pocket costs. ComEd customers can get up to $2,000 back, which often covers the entire installation cost. Some programs cover up to 80% of total project expenses. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

What electrical requirements are needed for Level 2 EV charging?

Level 2 charging requires a dedicated 240V circuit, typically 40-amp service, similar to what powers an electric dryer. Your electrical panel needs sufficient capacity to handle this additional load without overloading existing circuits. Many Burbank homes built before 2000 may need panel upgrades to safely support EV charging. We assess your current electrical system and determine if upgrades are necessary. Modern panels typically handle EV charging without issues. The charging station also needs proper grounding and GFCI protection for safety. All installations must meet Illinois electrical codes and pass local inspection requirements.

How long does EV charger installation take in Burbank?

Most installations take 4-8 hours, depending on the complexity of electrical work needed. Simple installations where we’re adding a circuit near your existing panel can often be completed in half a day. More complex installations requiring panel upgrades or long wire runs may take a full day or require a return visit. We coordinate all necessary permits and inspections, which can add a few days to the overall timeline. Emergency electrical situations get priority, but we typically schedule EV charger installations within a week of your initial consultation.

Can I get rebates for EV charger installation in Illinois?

Yes, Illinois offers some of the best EV charger rebates in the country. ComEd customers can receive up to $2,000 for Level 2 charger installations, and some qualify for up to $3,750 if they meet certain income requirements. The federal government also provides a 30% tax credit up to $1,000 for residential EV charger installations. When combined with state and utility rebates, many homeowners pay very little out of pocket. We help you navigate the application process and ensure your installation meets all rebate requirements. These programs have limited funding, so timing matters.

What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?

Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V household outlet and adds about 3-5 miles of range per hour. This means a typical EV takes 8-12 hours for a full charge, which works if you drive less than 40 miles daily. Level 2 charging uses 240V power and delivers 25+ miles of range per hour, fully charging most EVs in 4-6 hours. This is the sweet spot for home charging – fast enough for daily use, affordable enough for residential installation. Level 3 (DC fast charging) is what you find at commercial charging stations. It’s extremely fast but requires expensive equipment that’s not practical for home use.

Do I need permits for EV charger installation in Burbank, IL?

Yes, EV charger installations require electrical permits in Burbank, and all work must be performed by a licensed electrician. The installation also needs to pass inspection to ensure it meets local electrical codes. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our service. This ensures your installation is legal, safe, and eligible for insurance coverage and rebate programs. Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money, but this creates liability issues and can void your rebates. Proper permitting protects your investment and ensures safety.
