Your electric vehicle should work around your schedule, not the other way around. When you install a home EV charger, you wake up every morning with a full battery and never waste time sitting at public charging stations again.
You’ll save 30-50% on charging costs compared to public stations while adding up to $15,000 to your home’s value. More importantly, you get the convenience and safety of charging in your own garage instead of hunting for available stations or charging in unfamiliar locations late at night.
With professional installation, you’re not just getting a charger – you’re getting peace of mind that everything meets code, works safely, and won’t cause problems down the road.
Jimco Electric has spent 25 years handling the electrical emergencies that keep Forest Park homeowners up at night. From flickering lights to power outages, we’ve seen what happens when electrical work isn’t done right the first time.
That experience matters when you’re adding a major electrical load like an EV charger to your home. We know how to assess your electrical system, identify potential issues before they become problems, and ensure your installation meets all local codes and safety requirements.
Licensed, bonded, and insured, we offer discounts for military members, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students because we believe everyone deserves reliable electrical service.
The process starts with a thorough electrical system assessment. We’ll examine your current panel, available capacity, and the best location for your charger. If your system needs upgrades to handle the additional load safely, we’ll explain exactly what’s required and why.
Next comes the installation itself. This includes running the proper wiring, installing the appropriate circuit breaker, mounting your charger, and ensuring everything is properly grounded and protected. We handle all permits and arrange for city inspection to ensure everything meets local requirements.
Finally, we test the system completely and show you how to use your new charger safely. You’ll understand how to monitor charging, what to watch for, and when to call for service. Most installations are completed within a day or two, depending on the complexity of any electrical upgrades needed.

Your EV charger installation includes everything needed for safe, reliable home charging. We install Level 2 chargers that use 240-volt power – the same as your dryer or electric stove – to charge your vehicle much faster than a standard outlet.
Forest Park residents can access significant rebates to reduce installation costs. ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for residential EV charger installations, and the federal government provides a 30% tax credit up to $1,000. These incentives can cover a substantial portion of your total project cost.
Illinois recently passed legislation requiring all new homes to be pre-wired for EV chargers, recognizing that home charging infrastructure is essential for the state’s electric vehicle future. Forest Park is well-positioned for this transition, with growing EV adoption throughout the western suburbs and increasing support for residential charging solutions.
