Home EV Charger Installation Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

Your EV charger installation starts with a site visit to assess your electrical panel and determine the best location for your charging station. We check your home’s electrical capacity—many Rosemont homes built in the 1960s may need panel upgrades to handle the additional load.

Next, we pull the necessary permits and handle all the paperwork with the village. Illinois requires ICC-certified installers for EV charger work, and we make sure everything meets code requirements.

Installation typically takes 4-6 hours. We install the charging station, run the proper wiring, and test everything to ensure it’s working safely. Before we leave, we’ll show you how to use your new charger and answer any questions about maintenance or operation.

Residential EV Charger Installation Rosemont

Level 2 Charging That Actually Works

We install Level 2 charging stations that add about 25 miles of range per hour—much faster than the standard 120-volt outlets that only provide 5 miles per hour. For most Rosemont commuters, overnight charging easily handles daily driving needs.

Your installation includes a NEMA 14-50 outlet rated for continuous high-load use, proper circuit breakers, and all necessary wiring run to code. We use commercial-grade components that last longer than residential-grade alternatives.

Rosemont residents can take advantage of ComEd’s rebate program offering up to $3,750 for smart, ENERGY STAR certified Level 2 chargers. Combined with the federal tax credit covering 30% of installation costs up to $1,000, your home charging system becomes surprisingly affordable. We handle all the rebate paperwork and ensure your equipment qualifies for available incentives.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Rosemont?

EV charger installation in Rosemont typically costs $800-2,500 depending on your electrical panel’s capacity and the distance from your panel to the installation location. However, ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for qualifying Level 2 chargers, and the federal government provides a 30% tax credit up to $1,000. If your electrical panel needs upgrading to handle the additional load, that adds $1,500-3,000 to the project. Many Rosemont homes built in the 1960s require panel upgrades for safe EV charging. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Yes, EV charger installation requires an electrical permit from the Village of Rosemont. The village typically issues permits within 5 business days and schedules inspections within 10 business days. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our service. Illinois also requires that only ICC-certified electricians install EV charging equipment. Non-permitted installations can result in fines of 200% of the permit fee plus $200-500 per day until brought into compliance. We ensure your installation meets all local and state requirements from the start.
Most EV charger installations take 4-6 hours once we arrive at your home. The timeline depends on your electrical panel’s location, the distance to your preferred charging spot, and whether any panel upgrades are needed. If your electrical panel requires upgrading, that adds 1-2 days to the project timeline. We schedule panel upgrades separately from charger installation to ensure proper inspection and testing. The permit process typically takes 5-10 business days, but we can often start work sooner if your electrical system is ready.
Many Rosemont homes built before 1980 have 100-amp electrical panels that may struggle with EV charging loads. Level 2 chargers typically require a dedicated 40-50 amp circuit, which can overload older panels when combined with normal household electrical use. During our site visit, we assess your panel’s capacity and current electrical load. If an upgrade is needed, we install a 200-amp panel that easily handles EV charging plus future electrical needs. Modern panels also include better safety features like arc fault protection and whole-house surge protection.
ComEd offers rebates ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 for smart, ENERGY STAR certified Level 2 chargers. If you qualify for public assistance programs, you may receive the full $3,750 rebate. The federal government also provides a 30% tax credit on equipment and installation costs up to $1,000. We help you navigate the rebate process and ensure your equipment qualifies for maximum incentives. The rebate applications require specific documentation about your charger’s smart capabilities and energy efficiency ratings. We handle the paperwork to make sure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
Home charging typically costs 60-70% less than public charging stations. ComEd offers special time-of-use rates for EV owners, with overnight charging rates as low as 7 cents per kWh compared to 30-40 cents at public fast chargers. For the average Rosemont commuter driving 40 miles daily, home charging costs about $35-45 per month versus $100-120 for equivalent public charging. Over a year, that’s $780-1,020 in savings. Combined with available rebates, your home charger installation often pays for itself within 18-24 months through charging cost savings alone.
