WHAT TO KNOW

Installing an EV Charger at Home

Charging at home is the main reason an electric car is convenient, and the install is a real electrical project rather than an appliance hookup. Here is what it involves.

Level 2 Charging at Home

A 240-volt Level 2 charger adds range many times faster than a standard household outlet.

Dedicated Circuit Required

EV chargers need their own circuit sized to the unit. They cannot share with anything else.

Panel Capacity Check

Many older panels do not have the spare capacity a charger needs, which is the first thing we assess.

Garage or Driveway Siting

Where the charger goes affects the run length, the conduit, and the cost, so we plan it with you.

Outdoor-Rated Installation

A charger mounted outside needs weather-rated equipment and correctly protected wiring.

Permits and Inspection

EV charger installs are permitted work in our service area, and we handle that as part of the job.

OUR SERVICES

Your Comfort Is Our #1 Priority

At Bassett Services, we make your needs our #1 priority. This drives our every decision and action, motivating us to provide top-tier electrical services that stand out. When our technician arrives, they will explain all available options before starting any work.

EV Charger Installation

We install Level 2 home charging stations, including the dedicated circuit, the conduit run, and any panel work the charger requires.

The assessment comes first: what your panel can currently support, where the charger should go, and what the run between them involves. That determines the quote rather than a flat rate.

Charger Repairs & Panel Upgrades

Where a panel lacks the capacity for a charger, we handle the upgrade as part of the project so you are not coordinating two jobs.

For existing chargers that have stopped working, we diagnose the unit, the circuit, and the connection rather than assuming the charger itself has failed.

EXPERT SOLUTIONS

What Determines the Cost of an EV Charger Install

Bassett Services technician at a customer home

Panel capacity. If your existing service cannot carry a dedicated 240-volt circuit, a panel upgrade becomes part of the work, and that is the single largest variable in the price.

Distance from the panel. A charger mounted on the garage wall next to the panel is a short run. One at the far end of a detached garage is considerably more conduit and cable.

Indoor or outdoor. Outdoor installations require weather-rated equipment and protected wiring.

Permits. EV charger work is permitted and inspected here, which we handle as part of the installation.

Can I Install My EV Charging Station On My Own?

What Kind of Service Do EV Charger Installation Services Provide?

Are There Any Additional Considerations I Should Make Before Installing an EV Charger?

Your residence or establishment might require rewiring or enhancements to support the new charger. It’s crucial to implement measures that guarantee the safety and security of the vicinity, and if your property falls under a Homeowner’s Association (HOA), engaging with them before proceeding with the installation is essential.

What is Involved in the Installation Process?

For most chargers, the process typically involves linking to an established power source like a 240-volt circuit breaker or one with a higher capacity. Conduit installation for wiring is another common step, and installation may also include wall mounting and Wi-Fi connectivity.

What Are The Benefits Of Having An EV Charger At Home?

Charge your electric car at your leisure, eliminating the inconvenience of scheduling around external charging facilities. Benefits include convenience, time efficiency, cost savings, and energy management optimization.
