Charging at a public station costs more and takes longer than charging at home. A dedicated home charger cuts your charging time down to an overnight plug-in and lets you wake up to a full battery every morning.
A home charger delivers power several times faster than the cord that came with your vehicle, adding up to 40 miles of range per hour so your battery is full by morning.
Our licensed electricians manage every step, from panel checks and permits to final testing, ensuring your charger runs safely, efficiently, and ready for daily use.

Most home EV charger installs take 4 to 8 hours once we’re on-site. The exact time depends on where your panel is, how far the charger needs to be from it, and whether your panel has room for a new circuit. If a panel upgrade is needed, the job may stretch into a second day. We’ll walk you through the timeline during your site visit so there are no surprises.
Not always, but it’s common in older Northern Ohio homes. A Level 2 charger typically needs a dedicated 40 or 50 amp circuit, and if your panel is already near capacity or running on 100 amp service, an upgrade may be required to handle the load safely. Our electricians check your panel during the site visit and let you know before any work starts.
Level 1 is the cord that comes in the box with your EV. It plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet and adds about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour, which is fine for plug-in hybrids or low-mileage drivers but slow for daily use. A Level 2 charger runs on a 240-volt circuit (the same type of power that runs your electric dryer or oven) and adds 25 to 40 miles of range per hour. Most homeowners want Level 2 for a full overnight charge.
Yes. Federal tax credits cover a portion of home charger installation costs, and several Ohio utilities and electric cooperatives offer rebates for Level 2 chargers. Programs change often and depend on your utility provider, so we recommend checking with your electric company before your install. We’re happy to answer questions about what’s available in your area when we quote your project.
Yes. Our team pulls the required permits, coordinates with your local utility if needed, and makes sure the install meets current electrical codes. You don’t have to chase paperwork or schedule inspections – we handle that as part of the job.
Yes, but there’s a deadline to be aware of. The federal tax credit for EV charger installation applies only to equipment placed in service by June 30, 2026. If you’re
considering a home or commercial charger install, scheduling now gives your project time to finish before the cutoff.
