How much does EV charger installation cost in Godley?

Installation costs typically range from $800 to $2,500, depending on your home’s electrical setup and the charger you choose. Homes with modern electrical panels and nearby garage locations are usually on the lower end. If your panel needs upgrading or we need to run new circuits over longer distances, costs increase. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation – no hidden fees or surprise charges. Most homeowners recover their installation investment within the first year through savings on charging costs compared to public stations.
Most homes built after 1990 can handle a Level 2 EV charger, but older homes may need panel upgrades. We assess your current electrical capacity, available breaker spaces, and overall system condition. A typical Level 2 charger requires a 40-amp or 50-amp dedicated circuit. If your panel is already near capacity or lacks available breaker spaces, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective upgrade options. We’ve upgraded hundreds of electrical panels in Godley over 25 years, so we know exactly what’s needed to safely add EV charging capability to your home.
Standard installations take 3-4 hours when your electrical panel has adequate capacity and available space. More complex installations requiring panel upgrades or long circuit runs may take 6-8 hours. We schedule installations at your convenience and complete most jobs in a single visit. If panel upgrades are needed, we’ll coordinate any required inspections to minimize disruption. Weather doesn’t typically affect installation since most work happens inside your garage and electrical panel, which are usually indoors or covered.
Yes, EV charger installations require electrical permits in Godley and most surrounding areas. We handle all permit applications and schedule required inspections as part of our service. Permits ensure your installation meets local electrical codes and safety standards. They also protect you if you ever sell your home – buyers want to see that electrical work was done properly and legally. We’re familiar with local permit requirements and inspection processes, so there are no delays or complications. Everything is handled professionally from start to finish.
Level 2 chargers (240-volt) are the most practical choice for home installation. They charge most electric vehicles in 4-8 hours, perfect for overnight charging. Hardwired units are more permanent and slightly more efficient, while plug-in models offer flexibility if you move or upgrade chargers later. We’ll recommend the best option based on your vehicle, usage patterns, and home setup. Smart chargers with Wi-Fi connectivity let you monitor charging remotely and take advantage of time-of-use electricity rates, potentially saving additional money on your electric bill.
Absolutely. EV chargers require 240-volt electrical work, which is dangerous if done incorrectly. Improper installation can cause fires, electrocution, or damage to your vehicle’s charging system. Professional installation ensures proper grounding, GFCI protection, and code compliance. Insurance companies may deny claims for electrical fires caused by DIY installations, and many charger warranties require professional installation. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured specifically for this type of electrical work. You get peace of mind knowing your installation is safe, legal, and covered by our warranty.
