EV Charger Installation Process Flossmoor

From Assessment to Charging

We start with a site visit to assess your home’s electrical capacity and determine the best location for your charger. Most installations need a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and we’ll check if your panel can handle the additional load.

If you need a panel upgrade, we’ll explain exactly what’s involved and why it’s necessary. No surprises, no hidden costs. We handle all permits and ensure everything meets Illinois building codes and safety standards.

Installation typically takes 4-6 hours depending on complexity. We mount your charger, run the wiring, connect everything safely, and test the system thoroughly. You’ll be charging that same day, and we’ll show you exactly how everything works before we leave.

Residential EV Charger Installation Flossmoor

Level 2 Charging for Flossmoor Homes

Most Flossmoor homeowners choose Level 2 chargers because they’re the sweet spot between speed and cost. These 240-volt units add about 25 miles of range per hour of charging, meaning overnight charging easily handles most daily driving needs.

ComEd customers in our area can get substantial rebates – up to $3,750 for qualifying installations. Combined with the federal tax credit of up to $1,000, these incentives can cover a significant portion of your total project cost.

We work with all major charger brands and can help you choose the right unit for your specific vehicle and driving patterns. Smart chargers let you schedule charging during off-peak hours when ComEd’s rates drop to just 2 cents per kWh, maximizing your savings even further.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Flossmoor?

Total installation costs typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 for most Flossmoor homes, including the charger unit and professional installation. The final price depends on your home’s electrical setup and how far we need to run wiring from your panel to the installation location. However, Illinois offers some of the best rebates in the country. ComEd customers can get up to $3,750 back, and the federal tax credit covers 30% of costs up to $1,000. Many of our customers end up paying significantly less after rebates. We provide detailed upfront pricing with no hidden fees. During our site visit, we’ll assess your specific situation and give you an exact quote that includes everything needed to get your charger up and running safely.

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

Not necessarily, but it depends on your current panel’s capacity and available space. Most EV chargers need a dedicated 40-amp circuit, and if your panel is already near capacity or lacks open breaker slots, an upgrade may be required. Homes built before 1990 often need panel upgrades anyway for safety reasons. If you still have an old fuse box or a panel with less than 200-amp service, upgrading makes sense beyond just the EV charger – it improves your home’s overall electrical safety and capacity. We’ll evaluate your panel during our site visit and explain exactly what’s needed. Panel upgrades typically add $1,500 to $2,500 to the project, but they’re often necessary and increase your home’s value significantly.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most installations take 4-6 hours from start to finish if no panel upgrade is needed. We mount the charger, run the dedicated circuit, connect everything safely, and test the entire system before we’re done. If you need a panel upgrade, add another day for that work. We typically schedule the panel upgrade first, then return to install the charger once everything is ready. We coordinate all permits and inspections to keep the process moving smoothly. You’ll be able to charge your car the same day we finish the installation. We test everything thoroughly and walk you through the charging process before we leave, so you’re confident using your new system.

What rebates are available for EV charger installation in Illinois?

Illinois offers some of the best EV charger rebates in the country. ComEd customers can get between $1,000 and $3,750 depending on their income level and the type of charger installed. The program prioritizes low-income households with the highest rebates. The federal government also offers a tax credit worth 30% of your total installation cost, up to $1,000. This applies to both the charger and installation costs. You can claim this credit when you file your taxes. We help you navigate all available rebates and handle the paperwork where possible. Many customers are surprised by how much they save – some end up paying just a few hundred dollars out of pocket for a complete installation.

Can any electrician install an EV charger in Illinois?

No, Illinois law requires EV charger installers to have special ICC certification beyond their standard electrical license. This certification ensures installers understand the specific requirements for EV charging equipment and safety standards. Working with an uncertified installer can void your warranty, create safety hazards, and potentially disqualify you from rebate programs. Insurance companies may also refuse claims related to improperly installed charging equipment. We maintain all required certifications and stay current with changing codes and standards. Our 25 years of electrical experience, combined with EV-specific training, means your installation will be done right the first time and meet all Illinois requirements.

Will installing an EV charger increase my electric bill significantly?

The impact on your electric bill depends on how much you drive and when you charge. Most drivers see an increase of $30-60 per month, but this replaces gasoline costs that are typically much higher. ComEd offers special time-of-use rates for EV owners that drop to just 2 cents per kWh during off-peak hours (10 PM to 8 AM). If you charge overnight, your costs stay very low. Many customers save hundreds per month compared to gas. Smart chargers can automatically schedule charging during the cheapest rate periods. We’ll help you understand the rate options and set up your charger to minimize costs while ensuring your car is ready when you need it.
