We match the charger to your system’s capacity, evaluate panel load, and ensure you have the right connection for dependable, at-home charging. It’s about more than convenience, it’s about charging with confidence every time you pull into the driveway.

How Do You Know Your Home Is Ready for an Electric Vehicle Charger?

Before installing a charger, it’s important to know if your current electrical system can support the added demand. Not all panels have available space, and some wiring setups may fall short of what’s needed for high-output charging. We evaluate every detail to ensure your home is equipped for the job—safely, efficiently, and without surprises.

Here’s what we check before installation:

Panel space and amperage availability to support a dedicated circuit

Breaker compatibility with the charger’s voltage and current requirements

Wiring condition and whether it meets safety and performance standards

Placement and proximity to your parking area

Existing load capacity to ensure system balance across the panel

Accessibility for conduit routing and safe mounting

GFCI protection needs for outdoor or garage installations

Future upgrade potential in case you plan to add more EVs or systems later

By assessing these factors up front, we make sure the installation goes smoothly—and delivers the performance you expect right away.

What type of charger do I need for my home?

Most homeowners opt for a Level 2 system, which works significantly faster than the standard plug-in cord that comes with many vehicles. The right unit depends on your vehicle’s onboard charger, driving habits, and electrical setup. We’ll help you choose the ideal solution and make sure your system supports it. It’s about striking the perfect balance between speed, cost, and future readiness.

Will I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

That depends on your current capacity and how much load is already on your system. In many cases, there’s room to add a new circuit without major changes. But if your panel is outdated or close to its limit, we’ll walk you through upgrade options. Either way, we make sure your home is safe and code-compliant before powering anything up.

Can they be installed outside or only in garages?

Both options are possible! Many EV units are rated for outdoor use, as long as they’re installed with weather protection and durable components. We’ll recommend the best unit for your location and make sure it’s protected against the elements. Whether it’s a carport, driveway wall, or detached garage, we’ll wire it right.
