Licensed Electricians Serving Ingalls Park

25 Years of Getting It Right

We’ve been solving electrical problems for Ingalls Park homeowners since 1999. When your power goes out, when circuits trip, when you smell something burning – we’re the ones you call.

EV charger installation is electrical work, plain and simple. It requires understanding your home’s electrical capacity, proper permitting, and code-compliant installation. We’ve been doing this type of work for decades.

We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because this isn’t the kind of job you want to trust to someone who learned from YouTube videos. Your home’s electrical system is too important for shortcuts.

EV Charger Installation Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your electrical panel to determine if it can handle the additional load. Most EV chargers require a 240-volt circuit, similar to what powers your dryer or electric stove. If your panel needs upgrading, we’ll let you know upfront.

Next, we handle the permit process and ensure everything meets local electrical codes. We install the dedicated circuit, mount your charger where you want it, and test everything to make sure it’s working safely.

Finally, we walk you through how to use your new charger and answer any questions. You’ll have our number if anything comes up later, but these installations are straightforward once they’re done right.

What You Get With Professional Installation

Your installation includes a dedicated 240-volt circuit that charges your EV 6-8 times faster than a standard household outlet. We mount the charger exactly where you want it – garage wall, exterior wall, or pedestal mount in your driveway.

In Ingalls Park, most homes built in the last 20 years can handle EV charger installation without panel upgrades. Older homes sometimes need electrical panel updates, which we handle as part of the same job if needed.

We pull all necessary permits and ensure your installation meets current electrical codes. This protects you, your home, and maintains your insurance coverage. You’ll get documentation showing the work was done properly by licensed professionals.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most EV charger installations take 2-4 hours if your electrical panel can handle the load. We install a dedicated 240-volt circuit, mount the charger, and test everything to ensure it’s working safely. If your panel needs upgrading, add another 2-3 hours to the job. We’ll know during our initial assessment whether your electrical system can handle the additional load or if upgrades are needed. The actual installation time depends on how far we need to run the new circuit and where you want the charger mounted. Garage installations are typically faster than exterior wall or driveway pedestal mounts.

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

Many homes in Ingalls Park can handle EV charger installation without panel upgrades, especially homes built after 2000. We assess your current electrical load and panel capacity during our initial visit. If your panel is already near capacity or outdated, an upgrade might be necessary. This is actually a good thing – it means your home’s electrical system will be safer and more capable of handling modern electrical demands. We handle panel upgrades as part of the same job if needed. The upgrade ensures your home can safely power your EV charger plus all your other electrical needs without tripping breakers or creating safety hazards.

What type of EV charger should I install at home?

Level 2 chargers (240-volt) are the standard for home installation. They charge 6-8 times faster than plugging into a regular household outlet and work with all electric vehicles currently on the market. The specific charger model depends on your vehicle and charging needs. Tesla owners often prefer Tesla Wall Connectors, while other EV owners typically choose universal J1772 chargers that work with any electric vehicle. We can recommend specific models based on your vehicle and usage patterns, or install whatever charger you’ve already purchased. The electrical installation process is similar regardless of the charger brand.

How much does home EV charger installation cost?

Installation costs vary based on your home’s electrical setup and where you want the charger located. Simple installations with existing panel capacity typically cost less than installations requiring electrical panel upgrades. Distance from your electrical panel to the charger location affects cost, as does the type of mounting (wall-mounted versus pedestal). We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation. We offer discounts for military personnel, first responders, seniors, teachers, students, and new customers. The investment pays for itself through lower charging costs compared to public charging stations.

Do I need permits for EV charger installation?

Yes, EV charger installation requires electrical permits in Ingalls Park. This protects you by ensuring the work meets current electrical codes and safety standards. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Proper permitting protects your home insurance coverage and ensures the installation meets local electrical codes. Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. Professional installation with proper permits gives you peace of mind and protects your investment.

Can any electrician install an EV charger?

While many electricians can install EV chargers, experience with residential electrical systems and panel upgrades makes a significant difference. This isn’t basic outlet installation – it requires understanding electrical loads, code requirements, and safety protocols. We’ve been handling residential electrical installations and emergency repairs for 25 years. We understand how homes are wired, what can go wrong, and how to prevent problems before they start. Licensed, bonded, and insured contractors provide protection you don’t get from handymen or unlicensed installers. If something goes wrong, you’re covered. If the installation fails inspection, we fix it at no additional cost.
