What You Get With Our Service

Your installation includes a complete electrical system evaluation, professional installation of your Level 2 charging station, and all necessary permits and inspections. We install NEMA 14-50 outlets or hardwired units depending on your specific needs and charger type.

In Lyons, many homes have older electrical panels that need upgrading to safely handle EV charging loads. We specialize in these electrical system upgrades, ensuring your home can support not just EV charging but any future electrical needs.

We also handle the rebate paperwork for ComEd’s EV charger program, which can save you thousands on your installation. Combined with the federal tax credit of up to $1,000, many homeowners find their out-of-pocket costs significantly reduced.

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

Installation costs in Lyons typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on your home’s electrical setup. If you already have a 240-volt outlet in your garage, installation is usually on the lower end of this range. However, many Lyons homes need electrical panel upgrades or new circuits, which increases the cost. The good news is ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for qualifying installations, and you can also claim a federal tax credit of up to $1,000. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what your project will cost before we start any work. We’ll also help you determine which rebates you qualify for and handle the application process.

Do I need a permit for EV charger installation in Lyons?

Yes, EV charger installations in Lyons typically require electrical permits, especially when new circuits or panel upgrades are involved. The village requires permits to ensure installations meet safety codes and are properly inspected. We handle all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections as part of our service. This ensures your installation is completely legal and up to code, which is important for insurance purposes and when you eventually sell your home. The permit process usually adds a few days to the timeline but gives you peace of mind that everything is done correctly and safely according to Illinois electrical codes.

What type of EV charger should I install at home?

For most homeowners in Lyons, a Level 2 charger is the best choice. These 240-volt units can fully charge most EVs in 4-8 hours, perfect for overnight charging while you sleep. Level 2 chargers add about 25-40 miles of range per hour of charging, compared to just 3-5 miles per hour with a standard 120-volt outlet. This means you can easily replenish your daily driving range each night. We help you choose between plug-in units that use a NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired units that connect directly to your electrical panel. The choice depends on your specific EV, your charging habits, and your home’s electrical setup.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most installations in Lyons take 3-6 hours once we begin work. However, the total timeline depends on permit approval and whether your electrical panel needs upgrading. Simple installations where we’re adding a circuit to an existing panel can often be completed in a single day. More complex jobs requiring panel upgrades or extensive electrical work may take 1-2 days. We schedule inspections as part of the process, which can add a few days to the overall timeline. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your free estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Can my electrical panel handle EV charging?

Many homes in Lyons have older electrical panels that may need upgrading for safe EV charging. EV chargers typically require 40-50 amp circuits, which can be a significant load on older 100-amp or 150-amp panels. During our free assessment, we’ll evaluate your current electrical usage and panel capacity. If an upgrade is needed, we’ll explain your options and help you understand the costs and benefits. Panel upgrades not only enable safe EV charging but also prepare your home for other electrical needs like heat pumps, hot tubs, or workshop equipment. It’s an investment in your home’s electrical infrastructure.

What rebates are available for EV charger installation in Lyons?

ComEd offers substantial rebates for EV charger installations, ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 depending on your income level. Customers who qualify for public assistance programs can receive the full $3,750 rebate. You can also claim a federal tax credit worth 30% of your installation cost, up to $1,000. These incentives can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for professional installation. We help you navigate the rebate application process and ensure you receive all available incentives. The paperwork can be confusing, but we handle the details so you get maximum savings on your installation.
