Call to Schedule Your Install

Over 80% of EV charging happens at home — make yours fast, safe, and effortless.

Wake Up to a
Full Charge Every Day

Relying on public charging stations means planning your day around your car. A dedicated home charger puts you back in control — just plug in when you get home and you're ready to go by morning.

Unmatched Convenience

No more hunting for open chargers or waiting in line. Charge overnight during off-peak hours and save even more on your electricity bill.

Battery Health Protection

A dedicated home charger delivers steady, regulated power — far gentler on your battery than fast public chargers used repeatedly over time.

Increased Home Value

A professionally installed EV station is a sought-after feature that can set your property apart and appeal to eco-minded buyers.

~$32

Estimated monthly charging cost for most drivers — compared to $200+ per month in gasoline for a comparable vehicle.

10 yrs

Typical serviceable lifespan of a quality Level 2 home charging station. The savings add up fast after year one.

Level 1 vs. Level 2:
Which Is Right for You?

Both charger types have a place in the home — the right choice depends on how you use your vehicle, your driving range, and your home's electrical setup.

Standard

Level 1 Charger

Plugs directly into any standard 120V household outlet — no special wiring required. Great for plug-in hybrids or drivers with shorter daily commutes who charge overnight.

Charge Rate: ~3–5 miles of range per hour
Best For: Overnight charging, PHEVs, low daily mileage
Installation: Minimal — uses existing outlets
Recommended

Level 2 Charger

Uses a dedicated 240V circuit for dramatically faster charging. Ideal for full battery EVs, high-mileage drivers, or anyone who wants a full charge ready in just a few hours.

Charge Rate: 10–60 miles of range per hour
Best For: Full EVs, daily drivers, maximum convenience
Installation: Requires licensed electrician & dedicated circuit

What Does Home
Charging Really Cost?

The numbers speak for themselves. Home EV charging is one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make for your daily routine.

~$9
Full Charge (66 kWh)

Based on average residential electricity rates. Compare that to $50+ at the pump for a full tank of gas.

~$32
Per Month (Avg. Driver)

Typical monthly home charging cost for everyday commuters and errand runners.

<1 yr
Typical Payback Period

Most homeowners recoup the cost of a Level 2 charger within a year through fuel savings alone.

Safety Tips

Home charging is very safe when done right. We'll walk you through everything at installation — here's a quick overview of what to keep in mind.

  • Inspect your charging cable before each use and retire any damaged cords immediately.
  • Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for both your vehicle and charger.
  • Never run an extension cord to your EV — always use a dedicated, direct connection.
  • Store cables properly to prevent wear, tripping hazards, and water exposure.
  • Protect your station from moisture — never charge in standing water.
  • Contact a professional for any repairs — never attempt to open or modify the unit yourself.

Why Professional Installation Matters

EV charger installation isn't a DIY job. A proper installation requires a dedicated circuit, correct wire gauges, and local permits — all of which directly affect the safety and performance of your system.

Our licensed electricians ensure every installation meets local code requirements and manufacturer specifications, so you can charge with complete confidence.
