You got the car. Now you’d like to stop hunting for a public charger and just plug in at home overnight.

We install home EV chargers for Hamilton homeowners and businesses, and we do the whole job: the site visit, the wiring, the permit paperwork and the final check.

You deal with one team from the first call to the first charge. What the job looks like
1. We look at your setup.
Where you park, where your electrical panel is, and how far the cable has to run. For a rough idea, you can text us a few photos of the garage and the panel. For a firm price, we’ll come see it in person.

2. We check your panel.
A home charger pulls a lot of power for hours at a time. Most of the time the panel can handle it. Sometimes it can’t, and if that’s the case we’ll tell you before you spend a cent, and explain whether you need a panel upgrade or whether there’s a cheaper way around it.

3. You get a fixed price.
In writing, before we start. No surprises halfway through.

4. We install it.
A typical install takes a few days. We run the dedicated circuit, mount the charger, test it with you and show you how to use it.

5. We deal with the paperwork.
In Hamilton, electrical work like this has to be notified to the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and inspected. We take care of that, so you don’t have to. Which charger should you get? We can install the charger you already bought, or supply one. We work with the major brands. If you’re still deciding, ask us. We’ll tell you what we’d put in our own garage for your car, and why. What affects the price. No two homes are the same, so we won’t quote a number without seeing yours.

These are the things that move the price most: How far the charger is from your electrical panel
Whether your panel has room for it, or needs work. Whether the wiring can run through an open basement or has to go through finished walls. Indoor garage, outdoor wall or driveway. 

Questions people ask us
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Hamilton or Ontario?
Yes, the work has to be notified to the ESA and inspected. A licensed electrician files that. We do it as part of the job.

Can I just plug into a regular outlet?
You can, and it works, but it’s slow. Most people find a dedicated charger circuit makes the car much more practical day to day.

How long does it take?
We’ll give you a real estimate once we’ve seen your panel and garage.

Will my panel handle it?
Often yes. We check before we quote, and we’ll be straight with you if it needs an upgrade.

Do you install chargers that I bought online?
Yes, in most cases. Send us the model and we’ll confirm.
