Electric Vehicle Chargers

EV Wall Chargers: Fast, Reliable Power at Home

Installing an electric vehicle wall charging unit brings convenience and confidence to EV ownership. Compared to standard outlets, Level 2 wall chargers deliver faster charging times, getting you back on the road quicker. With a dedicated home charging station, you’ll enjoy safer operation, improved efficiency, and the ability to charge overnight while you sleep. It’s the smart, future-ready solution for powering your electric drive.

Fast Charge Connection: Power When You Need It Most

A fast charge connection delivers high-speed energy directly to your EV, dramatically reducing charging time compared to standard outlets. Whether you’re topping off before a trip or recharging after your commute, this high-capacity connection ensures your vehicle is ready when you are. It’s safe, efficient, and built for the pace of modern life.

GFCI Protection: A Required Safety Feature for EV Charging Outlets

When it comes to electric vehicle charging, safety is key. Certain EV charger outlets are required by code to have GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection. This critical feature helps prevent electrical shock by quickly cutting off power when a ground fault is detected. Whether indoors or outdoors, GFCI protection ensures your charging setup meets current safety standards and provides peace of mind every time you plug in.

EV-Rated Outlets: Built for the Demands of Vehicle Charging

Not all outlets are created equal. When charging your electric vehicle, it’s essential to use an EV rated outlet specifically designed to handle continuous, high current loads. Standard outlets can overheat or fail under the demands of daily charging. EV-rated outlets are tested for durability, heat resistance, and safety, ensuring reliable performance and protecting both your vehicle and your home. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference.

Protect Your EV Investment with Whole Home Surge Protection

Your electric vehicle is a major investment and it deserves reliable protection. Whole home surge protection safeguards your EV charger and onboard vehicle electronics from damaging voltage spikes caused by lightning, utility issues, or internal surges. By stopping surges at the source, you extend the life of your charging system and protect sensitive EV components. It’s a small upgrade that delivers big peace of mind.

EV Charging on Smaller Electrical Services Made Safe and Smart

Not all homes are equipped to handle the additional electrical demand of an EV charger. Older or smaller electrical panels can quickly become overloaded, posing safety risks. That’s why we offer a smart load control device that monitors your home’s power usage and automatically pauses EV charging when demand is too high. It safely restores charging once capacity is available, allowing EV installation without a costly panel upgrade. Safe, efficient, and code-compliant.

Commercial EV Charging Solutions: Powering the Future of Business

Installing EV chargers at your commercial property is a smart investment in sustainability, customer convenience, and future growth. Whether it’s for employees, tenants, or public access, commercial EV charging stations enhance your property’s value and demonstrate your commitment to clean energy. We provide turnkey installation solutions from design and permitting to installation and maintenance, ensuring your business stays ahead in the electric revolution.

Manual Load Management for Multi-Charger Setups

Looking to power multiple EV chargers from a single electrical source? We offer reliable manual control solutions that allow you to safely manage power distribution between charging units. With clearly labeled switches or timers, you can choose which vehicle charges and when, helping prevent overloads without the need for costly service upgrades. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to support multiple EVs on limited power.

We Install All Major UL-Listed EV Chargers Safely and to Code

Whether you’ve already chosen a charging brand or need help selecting the right one, we install a wide range of UL-listed EV charging units with precision and care. From Tesla and ChargePoint to JuiceBox and beyond, every installation is performed to meet current electrical code and safety standards. You bring the charger, we bring the expertise to install it safely, reliably, and up to code.
