EV charger installation

What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?

Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and is the slowest option. Level 2 uses a 240V circuit and adds roughly 20–50 miles of range per hour of charging, which is why it’s the preferred choice for most homeowners and businesses.

Not always. We start with an electrical assessment to confirm your panel can handle the added load. If it can’t, we can upgrade the panel as part of the job. Signs a panel may be due: frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or a panel over 20 years old.

Yes. We’re a Tesla Certified installer, and we also install ChargePoint, JuiceBox and other major brands.

Yes. We design and install multi-vehicle stations for apartments, offices and fleets.

It depends on the charger you choose, the distance from your panel to the install spot and whether your panel needs work. Request an estimate and we’ll price your specific job before work begins.

Panels, repairs & safety

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

Common signs are breakers that trip frequently, lights that flicker, and a panel more than 20 years old. We’ll inspect it and tell you honestly whether an upgrade or replacement is needed.

It means the circuit is overloaded or faulty. Don’t keep resetting it; have it checked so we can find the cause before it becomes a bigger repair.

Flickering when appliances start can point to loose connections or an undersized service. We test the circuit and your panel to find the cause.

Yes. A panel-mounted surge protector helps protect appliances, electronics and your EV charger from damaging surges.

Estimates, pricing & scheduling

How much will it cost?

It depends on the scope: for an EV charger, the unit you choose, the distance from your panel and whether the panel needs work. Request an estimate and we’ll price your specific job before any work starts.
