EV Charger Installation Process

From Assessment to Charging

First, we assess your electrical panel and garage setup to determine what’s needed for your specific situation. Most homes need a dedicated 240-volt circuit, but some require panel upgrades or additional electrical work.

We handle all permits and ensure the installation meets local codes. The actual installation typically takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of your electrical setup and the distance from your panel to the charging location.

After installation, we test everything to make sure your charger is working properly and show you how to use it. We also help you understand any available rebates and connect with ComEd’s programs if you qualify for their incentives up to $3,750.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Clarendon Hills?

Most Clarendon Hills homeowners spend between $1,150 and $2,750 for complete EV charger installation, including the charger and professional installation. The final cost depends on your electrical panel’s capacity, the distance from your panel to the charging location, and whether any electrical upgrades are needed. ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for Level 2 charger installation, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. We help you apply for these rebates and ensure you get the maximum available incentive. Some installations cost more if your electrical panel needs upgrading or if we need to run new circuits a long distance. We provide upfront estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start work.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for EV charging?

About 20 to 30 percent of EV charger installations require some type of electrical panel upgrade or load management system. Most Level 2 chargers need a dedicated 240-volt, 40-amp circuit, which your current panel may not have space for. If your home has an older 100-amp panel, you might need to upgrade to a 200-amp panel to safely handle the additional load. Homes built before 1990 often need some electrical work to accommodate EV charging. During our initial assessment, we check your panel’s capacity and available space. If upgrades are needed, we explain exactly what work is required and provide a detailed estimate. We handle all the permitting and ensure the upgrade meets current electrical codes.

How long does EV charger installation take in Clarendon Hills?

Most EV charger installations in Clarendon Hills take 3 to 6 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of your electrical setup. Simple installations where we’re adding a circuit to an existing panel with available space are usually finished in a few hours. More complex installations that require panel upgrades or running new circuits long distances can take a full day or require multiple visits. We coordinate all permit inspections with DuPage County to keep your project moving smoothly. Weather can affect outdoor installations, and sometimes we need to schedule electrical inspections before final connection. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.

What EV charger brands do you install and recommend?

We install all major EV charger brands including Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E, and others. The best charger for your situation depends on your vehicle type, charging needs, and budget. Level 2 chargers typically provide 25 to 40 miles of range per hour of charging, which means most vehicles charge fully overnight. We recommend chargers with at least 20-foot cables for flexibility in garage parking arrangements. For Clarendon Hills homeowners, we often recommend chargers that qualify for ComEd rebates to maximize your savings. We help you choose equipment that’s reliable, properly certified, and backed by solid warranties.

Can I get rebates for EV charger installation in Illinois?

Yes, ComEd offers substantial rebates ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 for Level 2 EV charger installation. If you qualify for public assistance programs, you may be eligible for the full $3,750 rebate. The rebate amount depends on your income level and the type of charger installed. We help you understand which programs you qualify for and handle the paperwork to ensure you receive your rebate. Beyond ComEd rebates, some Clarendon Hills residents may qualify for federal tax credits or other local incentives. We stay current on available programs and help you take advantage of every opportunity to reduce your installation costs.

Is it safe to charge my EV at home every night?

Yes, when properly installed by licensed electricians, home EV charging is completely safe for nightly use. Level 2 chargers are designed for regular daily charging and include multiple safety features like ground fault protection and automatic shutoffs. Professional installation ensures your charging circuit can handle the electrical load safely without overheating or creating fire hazards. We use only UL-listed equipment and follow all National Electrical Code requirements. Most EV manufacturers actually recommend nightly charging to maintain optimal battery health. Home charging is safer and more convenient than relying on public charging stations, especially during Illinois winters when you want to charge in your heated garage.
