  3. Professional Installation: On installation day, our clean, background-checked electricians install wiring, circuit breakers, and the charger or spa controls. We always follow NEC and local codes and use high-quality materials.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • In most areas we serve, permits are not required for standard EV charger or hot tub circuit installations. That said, some municipalities or larger electrical upgrades (like panel changes) may still trigger permit requirements. We’ll advise you during your estimate if anything special is needed and make sure the work meets local code either way.

  • We always check your panel’s capacity first. Many homes need a 200-amp service to run a Level 2 charger safely. If an upgrade is needed, we’ll install a larger panel or subpanel. This prevents overloads and ensures reliable operation.

  • A typical Level 2 EV charger installation usually takes 3–6 hours, depending on panel upgrades or conduit runs. Hot tub wiring may take most of a day if a new circuit/panel work is needed. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your schedule.

  • We install all major Level 2 charging brands (ClipperCreek, ChargePoint, Tesla, etc.) and can recommend smart or basic models. We can also install commercial/fleet chargers and even high-speed DC chargers for businesses (if needed).

  • Level 2 chargers dramatically speed up charging (about 70 miles of range per hour) and let you plug in overnight at low utility rates. You’ll never run out of power on the way to work, and you can take advantage of off-peak electricity. description

  • It’s strongly recommended to use a licensed electrician. Incorrect wiring or improper breakers can be hazardous. A professional installation prevents shock/fire risk and ensures your warranty is valid

  • Both EV chargers and hot tubs need dedicated 240V circuits. Hot tubs also legally require GFCI protection and proper grounding. We install everything to spec (e.g. GFCI breakers, weatherproof boxes) so your system is safe and meets code.
