Reasons To Install An EV Charger At Home

Home charging equipment needs to match the vehicle, electrical system, and charging requirements. Professional installation helps make sure the charger has the circuit and electrical capacity it requires.

  • Convenient overnight charging. A home charger allows you to plug in after parking and charge without making a separate trip to a public station.

  • Faster home charging. Level 2 charging equipment generally provides faster charging than a standard 120-volt Level 1 connection.

  • Dedicated electrical supply. EV charging creates a significant continuous electrical load, making proper circuit sizing and overcurrent protection essential.

  • Equipment compatibility. Charger requirements vary by vehicle, equipment model, connector, and desired charging rate.

  • Planned charger placement. Proper placement can keep the charging cable within practical reach of the vehicle while accounting for the charger’s installation requirements.

EV Charger Installation

An electric car charger for home use can require a substantial electrical load for extended periods. Before installation, our electricians evaluate the home’s electrical system, charger specifications, proposed location, and available panel capacity.

The charger manufacturer specifies electrical requirements that affect circuit sizing and installation. Depending on the equipment, the charger may be hardwired or use a compatible receptacle. Our electricians determine the required breaker, conductors, wiring method, and connection based on the charging equipment and electrical system.

Our electrical services can address related panel, circuit, or wiring issues identified during the evaluation. If the existing electrical system cannot accommodate the desired charger as proposed, we can explain what electrical changes are needed before installation.

Charger location also matters. We consider the vehicle’s normal parking position, charging cable reach, wiring route, equipment requirements, and whether the unit will be installed indoors or outdoors. Exterior installations require equipment and electrical components suitable for the conditions at that location.

After installation, we verify the electrical connections and charger operation so the home car charging point is ready for use.

Level 2 EV Charger Installation

Level 2 chargers operate on a 240-volt circuit and are a common choice for faster residential EV charging. Available charging speeds depend on the charger, circuit capacity, and vehicle’s onboard charging capabilities.

We install the circuit according to the charger’s electrical requirements and the capacity available within the home’s electrical system.

Tesla Charging At Home

Tesla owners can use compatible home charging equipment for routine charging. The exact installation requirements depend on the charger model, desired charging output, vehicle compatibility, and existing electrical service.

Our electricians can evaluate the proposed setup for Tesla charging at home and install the necessary circuit and compatible charging equipment according to its requirements.

Hardwired And Plug-In EV Chargers

Some EV chargers connect directly to a dedicated electrical circuit, while others plug into a compatible receptacle. The appropriate setup depends on the charger manufacturer’s instructions, installation location, and electrical requirements.

We assess the equipment before installation rather than assuming the same connection method works for every EV charger.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Persistent slow kitchen and bathroom sinks. Jeremiah evaluated root cause quickly and found that septic tank which had been pumped and flushed not long ago was completely water filled resulting in the backup. Not a direct plumbing problem after all. Super happy the root cause has been found even though repairing or replacing septic tank is a bummer.

We had the best experience! Our house was having issues cooling, and they were able to send out a tech pretty late to help us. Gregg was super knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain what was going on and answer every question we had. You can tell he really knows his stuff and genuinely cares about helping his customers. Y’all better give Gregg a raise because his service was definitely 10/10!

We first found SoGood Plumbing & Heating & Air on Nextdoor. They had so many positive reviews that we decided to give them a try - and I’m so glad we did!

We needed to replace our hot water heater, and everyone we dealt with throughout the process was friendly, professional, and incredibly responsive - from my initial phone call, to the manager who personally came by, to the plumber who came out to complete the installation.

Their pricing was in line with other competitors, but it was their customer service and attention to detail that really set them apart. The plumber did an amazing job on the installation, and the level of care and professionalism throughout the entire process was exceptional.

We would highly recommend SoGood Plumbing and will definitely use them again!

Our AC died on us yesterday evening, we called SoGood the same night by 7:30pm the next day our unit is fixed and we have AC! HVAC technician Ethan was extremely helpful, professional and insightful (especially considering the fact we were the last appointment of the day at 7pm). We will definitely be using this SoGood again.

Is very difficult to get an air conditioner repaired in late June and early July because of the high demand, I called on this company this morning and they had it fixed in the afternoon. Problem solvers I'm delighted with them and will continue to use them. I am an experienced landlord and I love it when companies respond promptly and solve my problems!
