EV charger installation

Charger installs need panel capacity checks and an ESA permit; the visit confirms amperage and mounting location.

What this covers

Dedicated circuits and wall connectors for Level 2 home EV charging.

Do this first

  • Keep clear of sparking outlets, burning smells or water near electrical equipment.
  • Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips immediately.
  • Note which rooms lost power and photograph the panel if it is safe.

No power, a hot panel or a new circuit? Tell us what is happening. Request an electrician
