Professional EV Charger Installation Lemont

Charge at Home, Skip the Wait

No more hunting for public charging stations or sitting in your car for hours. Your EV charges overnight while you sleep, and you wake up ready for anything.

With a Level 2 home charger, you get 25-40 miles of range per hour of charging. That means a full charge in 6-8 hours instead of the 40-50 hours you’d spend with a basic wall outlet.

Your time is worth more than waiting around at public stations. Home charging means you leave every morning with a full battery and the confidence that comes with it.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Lemont, IL?

Most homeowners in Lemont spend between $800 and $2,500 for a complete Level 2 EV charger installation. The total depends on your home’s electrical system, the distance from your panel to the charging location, and whether you need any electrical upgrades. However, Illinois residents can dramatically reduce these costs through available rebates and incentives. ComEd customers can get up to $3,750 back, state programs offer rebates covering up to 80% of project costs, and federal tax credits provide 30% back up to $1,000. With these programs, many homeowners pay just a few hundred dollars out of pocket. We provide free estimates that include a breakdown of all costs and available rebates, so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Many homes in Lemont need electrical upgrades for EV charger installation, especially homes built before 2000. Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, typically 40-50 amps, which older electrical panels often can’t support. During our initial evaluation, we check your panel’s capacity and current electrical load. If your panel is already near capacity or doesn’t have space for additional breakers, we’ll recommend an upgrade. Panel upgrades typically cost $500-$2,500 but are often necessary for safe, code-compliant installation. The good news is that panel upgrades qualify for federal tax credits under the 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit, providing up to 30% back on upgrade costs, capped at $600. We handle all the permitting and inspection requirements to ensure your upgrade meets Lemont’s electrical codes.
Most EV charger installations in Lemont take 3-5 hours to complete. Simple installations where your electrical panel has available capacity and the charger location is close to the panel can be done in as little as 2-3 hours. More complex installations that require panel upgrades, long wire runs, or extensive mounting work can take a full day. If we need to upgrade your electrical panel, that adds 2-4 hours to the project depending on the complexity. We schedule installations during normal business hours and always clean up completely when we’re finished. You’ll be able to start charging your EV the same day we complete the installation, and we’ll walk you through the operation and any smart features your charger includes.
Illinois offers some of the best EV charger rebates in the country. ComEd customers can receive rebates ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 for Level 2 charger installation, with the highest rebates available to customers who qualify for public assistance programs. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency provides rebates covering up to 80% of eligible project costs through the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act. These rebates are available to both residential and commercial customers, with additional rebates for installations in underserved communities. Federal tax credits provide 30% of installation costs back, up to $1,000 per residential property through the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit. This credit is available through 2032 and covers both equipment and installation costs. We help you apply for all available rebates and maximize your savings.
While any licensed electrician can technically install an EV charger, experience with EV installations makes a significant difference. EV chargers require specific knowledge of electrical codes, proper grounding, GFCI protection, and load calculations that many general electricians haven’t encountered. In Lemont, EV charger installations require permits and inspections. We’re familiar with the city’s requirements and have established relationships with local inspectors, which helps ensure smooth approval and avoid delays. We’ve been installing EV chargers since they became popular and understand the unique requirements of different EV models and charger brands. Our 25 years of electrical experience, combined with specific EV installation training, means your installation gets done right the first time with no callbacks or safety issues.
For most Lemont homeowners, a Level 2 charger is the best choice. Level 2 chargers operate on 240-volt power and can charge most EVs in 6-8 hours, compared to 40+ hours with a basic Level 1 charger that plugs into a regular outlet. Look for chargers that are ENERGY STAR certified and include smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity, scheduling, and smartphone apps. These features help you take advantage of ComEd’s time-of-use rates and charge during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper. Popular brands like ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and Tesla offer reliable options with good warranty coverage. We can recommend specific models based on your EV, electrical system, and charging needs. The key is choosing a charger that’s compatible with your vehicle and certified for outdoor installation if you’re mounting it outside.
