Why Install an EV Charger at Home
Installing an EV charging station at home gives you unmatched convenience—no more detours to public chargers. You’ll get full battery overnight, saving time and money. Professionally installed home chargers also cost less per mile than many public options and reduce wear on your car’s battery when configured correctly.
Plus, with rising electricity prices and incentives, a home charger is an investment in your home’s value and sustainability.
What’s Included in Our EV Charger Installation
EQUIPMENT SELECTION
We’ll help you choose the right charger type (Level 2 is typical), amperage, cord length, mounted (wall- or pedestal-mounted), whether you need a smart charger, etc. We inspect your existing electrical panel and determine whether upgrades or a new circuit are needed.
DEDICATED CIRCUIT & CAPACITY
A dedicated 208/240-V branch circuit, typically 40 amps or more, ensures safe and efficient charging. Washington code mandates this for EV-Ready spaces. If your panel is already full or older, we can upgrade it to handle the load.
PERMITTING & INSPECTION
We handle all permit applications, code compliance, and schedule final inspections so your installation is safe, legal, and passes all required checkpoints. Municipal codes like Seattle or Bellevue require electrical permits for EV charger installations.
INSTALL & SAFETY FEATURES
Licensed electrician does the install: runs wiring, installs breaker, wiring conduit, mounting hardware, GFCI protection, weatherproofing, and ensures correct wiring gauge. We test the charger, check for ground faults, and verify that everything works safely.

Benefits of a Professionally Installed EV Charger
A professional EV charger installation delivers peace of mind, reliability, and compliance. You won’t risk under-sized wiring, tripping breakers, or unsafe connections. It ensures faster charging, reduced energy losses, and better system lifespan. With incentives available (federal tax credits, utility rebates), you may recoup some costs. And when done right, an EV setup adds resale value to your home and aligns with clean energy goals.
Typical Costs & Timeline
Cost Factors
Costs depend on charger model, amperage, distance from the panel, need for panel upgrades, conduit runs, trenching, and permit fees. A basic Level 2 charger install might cost in the ballpark of $800-$2,500, while more complex installs with panel upgrades could run higher.
Installation Timeline
From consultation through permit to final inspection, most residential EV charger setups take 1-3 days, assuming no major panel upgrades. If heavy electrical work is needed, timeline may extend.
EV Chargers FAQs
Do I need a dedicated circuit for a Level 2 home charger?
Yes. A Level 2 charger typically requires a dedicated 208/240-volt circuit with an appropriate breaker (often 40A or higher, depending on the charger). We assess your panel capacity and install the correct wiring, breaker, and protection so charging is fast and safe.
Will I need an electrical panel upgrade for my EV charger?
Not always. If your panel has available capacity and space for a new breaker, we can usually add a dedicated circuit. If the panel is full or undersized, we’ll recommend load management options or a panel upgrade to safely support EV charging and future electrical needs.
How much does a home EV charger installation cost?
Pricing depends on charger model, amperage, distance from your panel, and whether trenching or a panel upgrade is needed. Typical Level 2 installs range from $800–$2,500+. You’ll receive a clear, itemized estimate before work begins.
Are permits and inspections required for EV charger installs?
Yes. Residential EV charger installations require electrical permits and a final inspection to ensure code compliance and safety. Home Comfort Alliance handles the permitting and coordinates inspection so your system is approved and ready to use.
Can I use a standard outlet instead of installing a Level 2 charger?
You can charge from a 120V Level 1 outlet, but it’s slow—often adding only a few miles of range per hour. A Level 2 charger on a dedicated 208/240V circuit dramatically reduces charge times and is recommended for daily driving needs.
