Charge Your Electric Vehicle at Home

Professional EV charger installation services for residential and light commercial properties.

You drive home after work, pull into your garage, and plug your electric vehicle into a charger that was installed with the right circuit, proper load capacity, and clean wiring that meets every safety standard. Instead of searching for public charging stations or waiting in line, you wake up each morning with a fully charged battery ready for your day.

YEP! Electric LLC installs Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers for homes and light commercial buildings. The work starts with an electrical load evaluation to confirm your system can handle the charging demand without overloading your panel. If capacity falls short, a panel upgrade is recommended before the charger goes in. You choose between indoor garage mounting or outdoor installation depending on where you park and how you use your vehicle. A dedicated circuit is run to the charger location using code-compliant methods, and the installation is completed with attention to safety and long-term reliability.

If you want to charge your vehicle at home without guessing whether your electrical system can support it, reach out to discuss charger placement and power requirements before the work begins.

What Happens During the Installation

The first step involves checking your electrical panel to determine whether it has enough capacity to add a charging circuit without risking overload. This evaluation looks at your current usage, available breaker slots, and total amperage. If your panel cannot safely support the added demand, an upgrade is completed first to bring capacity in line with what the charger requires.

Once capacity is confirmed, a dedicated circuit is installed from the panel to the charger location. You see new conduit running along the wall or through the ceiling, a mounted charging unit positioned where you park, and wiring that is routed cleanly without exposed splices or loose connections. The charger is tested under load to confirm it delivers the correct voltage and current without tripping the breaker or causing heat buildup at the connection points.

Indoor installations are mounted to garage walls using backing that can support the weight of the unit and the force applied when plugging and unplugging the cable. Outdoor installations require weather-rated enclosures and conduit to protect wiring from rain, UV exposure, and temperature swings. The service does not include running underground conduit across long distances or trenching through landscaping, but it does cover standard exterior wall mounting when the charger is placed near the existing electrical service.

You Probably Have a Few Questions About This

Homeowners often ask about the difference between charger levels, how long installation takes, and whether their current electrical setup can support a new charging circuit without major changes.

What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 chargers?
Level 1 chargers plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and add about four miles of range per hour, while Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt circuit and add between 25 and 30 miles of range per hour. Most homeowners choose Level 2 because it fully charges a vehicle overnight.
How long does the installation take?
A straightforward installation with an existing panel that has available capacity typically takes between four and six hours. If a panel upgrade is needed, the work may extend to a full day depending on the size of the upgrade and the condition of the existing service.
What happens if my electrical panel does not have enough capacity?
Your panel is upgraded to add the necessary amperage and breaker slots before the charger circuit is installed. This ensures the system can handle the charging load without risking overload or frequent breaker trips.
Where should the charger be installed?
The charger should be mounted near where you park your vehicle, with the cable reaching the charge port without stretching or dragging on the ground. Indoor garage walls and exterior walls near driveways are the most common locations.
Can the charger be installed outdoors?
Yes, outdoor installation is possible using weather-rated chargers and conduit that protects wiring from moisture and temperature changes. The unit is mounted to an exterior wall or post with proper backing and sealed connections.

If you are ready to install a charger and want to confirm your electrical system can support it, YEP! Electric LLC provides load evaluations and installation guidance before any work begins. You can move forward knowing the setup will meet code requirements and deliver reliable charging for your vehicle.
