With the increase in popularity of the electric car, it stands to reason that the need for more electric car chargers has also increased. If you own an electric car, it could be beneficial and more convenient to install one in your home instead of relying on outside the home power charging stations or other more inconvenient means of charging. Though it may seem like a quick and easy task to install a level 2 charger, you want to be sure it is installed correctly. An experienced electrician can properly install an electric car charger and get the job done right the first time around.
The first thing you must do is determine your home’s eligibility for an electric charger installation. If it meets all the requirements, then an experienced electrician can confirm that you also have sufficient electrical service and panel space to move forward with installation. You will want an electrician to ensure that your charger can deliver reliable performance without draining or consuming too much power.
There must be enough electrician to support the charger installation as well as enough space on your circuit breaker for the EV charger. If there is not enough space, you will need to upgrade your electrical panel and wiring.
Once you have purchased an EV charger that is suitable for your vehicle and it is determined your home is eligible for an electric charger, your reliable electrician can begin the installation. There are rebates available for electric charger installations, so be sure to select a model that qualifies for a rebate per your vehicle. A professional and experienced electrician will obtain the necessary permits and begin the installation process. Throughout the process, they will ensure that the installation process is safe, organized, and effective to give you the desired final outcome.
Once installation is complete, it needs to be inspected by your local city inspectors.
Most electricians will arrange for this inspection to take place. When the installation process has been approved, you can then apply for the rebate.
Rebates for electric charger installations in the home can be for as much to 50% of the purchase price back in your pocket.
