You wake up every morning to a fully charged vehicle. No more hunting for public charging stations or sitting in parking lots waiting for your car. No more paying premium rates at commercial chargers.
Your home becomes your personal fueling station. You plug in when you get home, just like charging your phone. By morning, you’re ready for whatever the day brings.
The numbers tell the story. Home charging costs 30-50% less than public stations. For most Oak Forest families, that’s $40-80 saved every month. Over a year, you’re looking at real money back in your pocket.
Jimco Electric has been Oak Forest’s go-to electrical service company for over two decades. We’ve seen every type of electrical challenge this area can throw at a home – from older homes with outdated panels to newer construction needing upgrades.
Our team specializes in emergency electrical repairs, but we’ve expanded into EV charging because we understand what homeowners actually need. Not flashy sales pitches – practical solutions that work reliably for years.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured. We offer discounts to military families, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students because we believe good service should be accessible to the people who serve this community.
First, we assess your current electrical system. Many Oak Forest homes need panel evaluations to ensure they can handle the 240-volt circuit required for Level 2 charging. This isn’t about selling you upgrades you don’t need – it’s about safety and code compliance.
Next, we handle the permit process. Oak Forest requires building permits for EV charger installations, and we know exactly what documentation the city needs. We’ll pull the permit and schedule the required inspection.
Installation day is straightforward. We install the dedicated 240-volt circuit, mount your chosen charging station, and test everything thoroughly. Most installations take 3-4 hours. We clean up completely and walk you through operating your new charger.
After installation, the city inspector verifies everything meets code. Once you pass inspection, you’re charging at home that same day.

Level 2 chargers are the sweet spot for home installation. They charge your vehicle 5-7 times faster than standard outlets, adding 25-40 miles of range per hour of charging. For most Oak Forest commuters, overnight charging easily handles daily driving needs.
These systems require 240-volt dedicated circuits – the same type of power your dryer uses, but with commercial-grade components designed for continuous use. Quality matters here because cheaper equipment can degrade over time, potentially causing safety issues.
Oak Forest residents have access to substantial rebates. ComEd offers up to $3,750 for qualified installations, and federal tax credits cover 30% of costs up to $1,000. The Illinois EPA also provides grants covering up to 80% of project costs for eligible applicants. We help you navigate these programs to maximize your savings.
