Skip the public charging station wait times and charge your electric vehicle at home with professional EV charger installation from Claus’s trusted electrical experts.
Hear from Our Customers
You bought an electric vehicle to simplify your life, not complicate it. With a properly installed home EV charger, you’ll never worry about finding an available public charging station or sitting in your car for hours waiting for a charge.
Your morning routine stays the same. You wake up, grab your keys, and drive wherever you need to go. The difference is your car charged overnight while you slept, taking advantage of lower electricity rates and the convenience of your own driveway.
Level 2 home charging stations deliver about 25 miles of range per hour of charging, compared to just 5 miles per hour from a standard wall outlet. That means a full charge overnight instead of hoping you can find time during your busy day to sit at a public station.
Jimco Electric has been handling electrical emergencies and installations for Claus area homeowners for 25 years. We’ve seen every type of electrical challenge you can imagine, from flickering lights and power outages to complete panel upgrades and service changes.
What sets us apart is our focus on getting things done right the first time. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which means your installation meets all Illinois Commerce Commission requirements for EV charger installations. No shortcuts, no guesswork, just professional electrical work that keeps your family safe.
We understand that most electrical problems happen at the worst possible times, which is why we’ve built our reputation on reliable, prompt service when homeowners need it most. Plus, we offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students.
First, we’ll assess your home’s electrical capacity and determine the best location for your charging station. Some homes need panel upgrades to handle the additional electrical load, while others can accommodate a Level 2 charger with the existing setup.
Next, we’ll handle all permit requirements and ensure your installation meets Illinois Commerce Commission standards for EV charging station installers. This isn’t optional – non-permitted installations can result in fines of 200% of the permit fee, plus daily violation charges.
The installation itself typically takes a few hours, depending on the distance from your electrical panel to the charging location. We’ll install a commercial-grade NEMA 14-50 outlet designed for high-load, long-duration charging sessions, then test everything to ensure it’s working properly before we leave.

Your installation includes a complete electrical assessment, permit handling, and professional installation of Level 2 charging equipment. We work with all major EV charger brands and can install the specific unit you’ve chosen or recommend options based on your vehicle and charging needs.
Illinois residents can take advantage of significant rebates for EV charger installations. ComEd offers rebates ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 for Level 2 charger installations, with higher rebates available for qualifying low-income households. There’s also a federal tax credit covering 30% of installation costs up to $1,000.
The installation covers everything from the electrical panel to your chosen charging location, including any necessary electrical upgrades. We use commercial-grade components designed for the repeated high-load charging cycles that home EV charging requires, ensuring reliable performance for years to come.
