Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and all major Level 2 chargers installed by a Licensed Master Electrician. Permit, load calculation, and inspection included on every job.
Not all EV chargers are created equal. Understanding the difference determines how fast your vehicle charges and what your home needs to support it.
Uses a standard household outlet. Adds roughly 3-5 miles of range per hour. Fine for plug-in hybrids but painfully slow for full EVs. No special installation needed.
Requires a dedicated 240V circuit, similar to an electric range or dryer. Adds 25-60 miles of range per hour. Fully charges most EVs overnight. This is what we install.
Commercial-grade fast chargers that can charge an EV to 80% in 20-40 minutes. Requires industrial three-phase power. Not viable for residential installation.
For Houston homeowners, Level 2 is the standard. That is what we install, and what the rest of this page covers.
We install all major Level 2 charger brands. You buy the charger (or we can source it for you), we handle the electrical work to make it safe and code-compliant.

An EV charger is not a plug-and-play device. It is a high-amperage, continuous load that must be properly engineered into your home's electrical system.
Most Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240V circuit rated for 40-60 amps. This is treated as a continuous load, meaning the circuit must be sized at 125% of the charger's rated current per NEC Article 625.
Your panel needs physical space for a new 2-pole breaker. We check available slots and panel compatibility before any work begins.
Before adding a 50-amp load, we perform a proper NEC Article 220 load calculation. This verifies your service can handle the charger alongside your existing loads without tripping the main breaker or overheating conductors.
If your home has a 100-amp service and the load calculation shows insufficient headroom, the panel may need upgrading before we can safely add the charger circuit. We will tell you up front.
Recent NEC updates require GFCI protection on EV charging circuits in many jurisdictions. We ensure your installation meets the current code cycle adopted by your city or county.
EV charger installations require a permit and inspection in virtually all Houston-area jurisdictions. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection. No flying under the radar.
A Level 2 charger pulls as much current as your entire central AC system. This is not a DIY project.
The National Electrical Code has specific articles (625, 220, 210) governing EV charger installations. Violating them can void your insurance and create liability if your home burns down.
Unpermitted electrical work shows up on title searches and can derail a home sale. An inspection by the city or county provides a third-party verification that the work is safe.
Guessing whether your panel can handle a 50-amp continuous load is how fires start. A professional load calculation accounts for every circuit in your home.
If an unpermitted charger installation causes damage, your homeowner's insurance can deny the claim. Licensed, permitted work protects you.
Every installation is different. These are the variables that determine the final cost.
The farther the charger is from your electrical panel, the more wire and conduit are needed. Long runs may require upsized wire to account for voltage drop.
If your panel lacks the headroom for a 50-amp circuit, a service or panel upgrade may be required first. This adds cost but is non-negotiable for safety.
If your charger is going in a detached garage or outdoor pedestal, trenching may be required to run the circuit underground. Depth and conduit type are code-driven.
Two-vehicle households may want dual chargers. Some units support power sharing, which can reduce total circuit capacity requirements and save on panel upgrades.
On-site evaluation of your panel, garage, parking area, and charger location preferences.
