EV Charger Installation

Fast, clean, code-compliant EV charging installs—sized correctly, protected correctly, and built for long-term reliability. We’ll help you choose the right setup and get charging at home.

Level 2 home charging • NEMA 14-50 or hardwired • Permits when required

Installed to Code

Correct breaker sizing, wire sizing, and protection (GFCI/AFCI where applicable). No shortcuts.

Clean, Professional Finish

Neat conduit runs when needed, clean penetrations, labeled circuits, and a tidy jobsite.

Sized for Your Home

We verify panel capacity and load, then recommend the safest, most practical solution.

Popular EV Charging Options

  • Hardwired Level 2 charger (most reliable, cleanest install)
  • NEMA 14-50 outlet for plug-in chargers (when appropriate)
  • Garage installs and outdoor-rated installs
  • Dedicated circuit additions and panel rework to create space
  • Load management solutions when panel capacity is limited

Not sure what you need? We’ll help you choose the best option based on your vehicle, daily miles, panel capacity, and where you park.

Our EV Install Process

1

Plan the Install

We confirm charger type, location, and the best path for wiring.

2

Verify Capacity

We check panel space, load, and required breaker/wire sizing.

3

Install & Protect

Dedicated circuit, correct protection, neat routing, and secure terminations.

4

Test & Educate

We verify charging and walk you through safe operation.

If we find limitations (panel capacity, long distance runs, finished ceilings), we’ll give you clear options.

Is hardwired better than an outlet?

In most cases, yes. Hardwired installs are typically more reliable, cleaner, and reduce the chance of a loose plug connection over time.

Can I install a 14-50 outlet for my charger?

Often yes—when your charger supports it and the circuit can be installed and protected correctly. We’ll confirm it’s the right fit before we install.

What if my panel is full or undersized?

We can often create space, add a subpanel, or recommend load management. If a service upgrade is the best long-term solution, we’ll explain why.

Do you install customer-provided chargers?

Yes. If you already have a charger, we’ll install it to manufacturer requirements and electrical code.

Ready to charge at home?

Tell us your vehicle, charger type (if known), and where you want it installed—we’ll get you a clear quote.

EV charging requirements vary by home and charger model. Final scope is confirmed on-site.
