EV Charger Installation
At Light 'Em Up Electric, we install EV chargers for homeowners and small businesses that want safe, fast, and dependable charging at their property. If you are tired of slow charging from a standard wall outlet, we can help you upgrade to a dedicated electric vehicle charging station that fits your car, your panel, and your daily routine.
We have years of hands-on electrical experience, and we believe in doing the job right the first time. Marcos Geroli has worked in the electrical field for 18 years and learned the trade young, working alongside his grandfather. That background still shows in how we work today. We take pride in honest recommendations, clean work, fair pricing, and solid results. Because we are a small company, we can often provide more personal service and more competitive pricing than the bigger shops.
What EV charger installation includes
Every property is different, so we start by looking at your electrical system, where you park, and how quickly you want your vehicle to charge. From there, we recommend the best setup for your needs.
- Site visit and evaluation of the installation location
- Electrical panel and load capacity review
- Dedicated circuit installation for the charger
- 240-volt wiring for Level 2 EV charger setups
- Breaker installation and panel connections
- Wall-mounted charger installation
- NEMA outlet installation, such as a 14-50 receptacle, when appropriate
- Hardwired EV charger installation
- Garage, carport, driveway, and exterior charger placement options
- Testing, safety checks, and verification of proper operation
Level 1 vs. Level 2 charging
Many people start with Level 1 charging, which uses a basic 120-volt outlet. That can work for some drivers, but it is usually very slow. If you drive often, commute daily, or own a larger battery EV, Level 2 charging is the better long-term solution.
A Level 2 EV charger typically runs on 240 volts and can charge your vehicle much faster than a standard outlet. Exact charging speed depends on the vehicle, charger rating, circuit size, and available electrical capacity. We help you understand those details so you can make the right choice without guessing.
Choosing the right charger setup
We install customer-supplied units and can also help guide you on what type of charger may work best. Some customers want a simple and reliable home charging station. Others want smart charging features like Wi-Fi connectivity, scheduling, app controls, energy tracking, or power sharing.
We can help you think through important factors like:
- How many miles you drive each day
- How quickly you want to recharge overnight
- Where the charger should be placed for easy access
- Whether an indoor or outdoor rated unit is needed
- Whether a plug-in or hardwired charger is the better fit
- Whether your current electrical panel can handle the added load
Panel capacity and electrical upgrades
One of the most important parts of EV charger installation is making sure your electrical system can support the new load safely. We check your existing panel, available breaker space, and overall service capacity before we begin. In some homes, the installation is straightforward. In others, a panel upgrade, subpanel work, or circuit reconfiguration may be needed.
If your home needs electrical upgrades to support a car charger, we can handle that too. We regularly help customers with panel upgrades, rewiring, troubleshooting, and electrical improvements. Our goal is to give you a safe, code-compliant installation that works well now and in the future.
Common places we install EV chargers
- Attached garages
- Detached garages
- Carports
- Driveway-side exterior walls
- Parking areas for small commercial properties
- Multi-vehicle household charging locations
We plan the charger location carefully so the cable can reach your vehicle without creating a mess or a tripping hazard. We also consider weather exposure, mounting height, accessibility, and the cleanest path for wiring.
Safety and code compliance
EV charging equipment draws a significant amount of power, so this is not a job to leave to chance. We install chargers with proper circuit sizing, breaker protection, grounding, and safe wiring methods. We follow electrical code requirements and focus on clean workmanship so your system is dependable and safe to use every day.
When you hire Light 'Em Up Electric, you are getting a licensed electrician who understands how to diagnose issues, upgrade systems, and install equipment the right way. We do not cut corners, and we do not oversell what you do not need. We explain the work clearly and help you feel confident in the final setup.

EV Charger Installation FAQs
If you’re thinking about adding a home EV charger, these are the questions we hear most at Light 'Em Up Electric. We keep the process simple, safe, and done right the first time.
- Do I really need a professional for EV charger installation?
Yes. An EV charger pulls a lot more power than a normal outlet, so it needs the right circuit, breaker, wire size, and panel capacity. We install chargers to code, make sure your electrical system can handle the load, and help protect your home from overheating, nuisance breaker trips, and unsafe wiring.
- Can you install any brand of EV charger?
In most cases, yes. We install many popular Level 2 EV chargers and can also help if you already bought a unit and just need a licensed electrician to install it. If you are not sure which charger is best for your vehicle and daily driving needs, we can walk you through your options and recommend a setup that makes sense for your home and budget.
- What if my electrical panel is full or outdated?
That’s common, especially in older homes. Before we install your EV charging station, we check your panel, available breaker space, service size, and overall load. If your panel needs an upgrade, a subpanel, or other electrical work, we will explain it clearly and give you honest pricing. We do the work the right way so your charger is safe and reliable.
- How long does EV charger installation take?
Many home EV charger installations can be completed in one visit, but the exact time depends on the distance from the panel, the charger location, and whether your electrical service needs upgrades. We will let you know what to expect before we start, so there are no surprises.
- How much does EV charger installation cost?
The cost depends on a few things, like your panel capacity, the wiring route, charger type, permit needs, and whether upgrades are needed. Because we are a small company, we are often more affordable than larger electrical contractors without cutting corners on quality. If you already have estimates, let us see if we can beat them.
- Why should I choose Light 'Em Up Electric for EV charger installation?
We bring 18 years of electrical experience to every job. Our owner, Marcos Geroli, has been working in the field since he was young, learning the trade alongside his grandfather. We believe in working hard and doing it right. When you call Light 'Em Up Electric, you get personal service, competitive pricing, and real answers from a local electrician who cares about the quality of the work.
