Charge Your EV at Home
Having an EV charger at home means you can conveniently charge your vehicle where you park, rather than relying solely on public charging stations.
For many homeowners, a Level 2 EV charger is a popular choice because it uses a 240-volt circuit and can provide significantly faster charging than a standard 120-volt household outlet.
The right charging setup depends on your vehicle, charger, electrical panel, available electrical capacity, and the location where you want the charger installed.
Pro Air can evaluate your electrical system and help determine the appropriate installation for your home.
Level 2 EV Charger Installation
Most residential Level 2 EV charger installations require a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Depending on your home’s existing electrical system, installation may include:
-Dedicated 240-volt circuit
-Appropriate circuit breaker
-Electrical wiring
-Conduit where required
-EV charger mounting and connection
-Electrical panel modifications
-Subpanel installation
-Electrical panel upgrade when necessary
-Required permits and inspections
Not every EV charger installation requires an electrical panel upgrade. We’ll evaluate your existing system and determine what your home needs before recommending additional electrical work.
Where Can an EV Charger Be Installed?
EV charging stations can be installed in a variety of residential locations, including:
-Attached garages
-Detached garages
-Exterior walls
-Driveways
-Carports
-Other approved residential charging locations
The location of your electrical panel and parking area will play an important role in determining the installation requirements.
The distance between the panel and charger can affect the amount of wiring, conduit, and other electrical materials needed for the project.
We’ll help determine the best location and electrical configuration for your home.
Can Your Electrical Panel Handle an EV Charger?
An EV charger adds a significant electrical load to your home, so your existing electrical system should be evaluated before installation.
Our electricians will consider your home’s:
-Main electrical service
-Existing panel capacity
-Current electrical loads
-Available breaker space
-Charger requirements
-Distance between the electrical panel and charger
-Location of the charging station
If your existing panel has sufficient capacity, we can design the installation around your current electrical system.
If additional capacity is needed, we can discuss options such as a subpanel, electrical panel upgrade, or service upgrade.
Our goal is to recommend the appropriate solution for your home—not unnecessary electrical upgrades.
