25 Years Solving Electrical Problems

We’ve been handling Oak Lawn’s electrical emergencies for 25 years. Panel upgrades, circuit additions, burning smells, flickering lights—the urgent stuff that can’t wait.

EV charger installation is just another electrical challenge, but it’s one we approach with the same precision we bring to emergency repairs. Licensed, bonded, and insured, because your home’s electrical system isn’t the place to cut corners.

Oak Lawn has 17 public charging ports within 15km, but that’s not nearly enough for the growing number of EV owners in our community. We’re helping bridge that gap, one home installation at a time.

EV Installation Process Oak Lawn

From Assessment to Charging Tonight

First, we assess your electrical panel and determine if it can handle the new load. Many homes need panel upgrades costing $500-$2,500, and we’ll tell you upfront if that’s the case.

Next, we run a dedicated 240-volt circuit to your chosen location—garage, driveway, wherever makes sense for your daily routine. We handle all permits and inspections because that’s not your job.

Finally, we mount and connect your Level 2 charger, test everything, and show you how it works. Most electric vehicles charge completely in just three hours with proper installation. You’ll be charging the same day we finish the work.

Oak Lawn EV Charger Rebates

Up to $4,750 in Available Rebates

ComEd offers rebates ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 for installing a Level 2 electric vehicle charger. If you qualify for public assistance programs, you may get the full $3,750 rebate.

The federal government provides a 30% tax credit up to $1,000 for installation costs. Combined, these incentives can cover most or all of your installation expenses.

Oak Lawn residents are also seeing the benefits of home charging costs at $0.25 per kWh compared to higher public station rates. We’ll help you navigate the rebate applications and ensure your installation meets all requirements to qualify for maximum savings.

How long does EV charger installation take in Oak Lawn?

Most installations take 4-6 hours if your electrical panel can handle the load. If we need to upgrade your panel first, add another day for that work. The process starts with a site assessment where we check your panel capacity and plan the circuit route. Many homes need electrical panel upgrades to safely support a Level 2 charger, which draws significant power. Once we run the dedicated 240-volt circuit and mount your charger, we test everything and walk you through the operation. You’ll be charging your car the same day we finish installation.

What rebates are available for EV charger installation in Oak Lawn?

ComEd customers can receive rebates from $1,000 to $3,750 for Level 2 charger installation. The higher rebate amount applies if you qualify for public assistance programs. Federal tax credits provide 30% of installation costs up to $1,000. These incentives can be combined, potentially covering your entire installation cost. We handle the rebate paperwork and ensure your installation meets all program requirements. The key is using approved equipment and certified installers—which is exactly what we provide.

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

Many homes need electrical panel upgrades costing $500-$2,500 to safely support Level 2 EV charging. We’ll assess your current panel during our initial visit. Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240-volt, 40-50 amp circuit. If your panel is already maxed out or lacks the capacity, an upgrade is necessary for safe operation. We’ve been doing panel upgrades for 25 years, so this isn’t new territory for us. We’ll give you a straight answer about what’s needed and why, with no surprises in the final bill.

How much does it cost to charge an EV at home in Oak Lawn?

Home charging in the Oak Park area costs around $0.25 per kWh, and Oak Lawn rates are similar. For most EVs, a full charge costs $8-15 depending on your battery size. Homeowners save around $1000 annually by charging at home instead of relying on public stations. ComEd also offers time-of-use rates that can reduce costs further if you charge overnight. Compare that to gasoline costs, and the savings become even more significant. Most EV owners see their electricity bill increase by $30-50 per month while eliminating their gas station visits entirely.

What type of EV charger should I install at home?

Level 2 chargers are the standard for home installation. They can charge most electric vehicles completely in just three hours, compared to Level 1 chargers that may take over 24 hours for a full charge. Level 2 chargers use 240-volt power (like your dryer or electric stove) and require professional installation. They can extend your vehicle’s range by nearly 70 miles for every hour of charging. We’ll recommend specific models based on your vehicle and charging needs. Smart chargers with WiFi connectivity cost slightly more but offer scheduling and monitoring features that many homeowners find valuable.
