Aurora is the second largest city in Illinois, and the housing reflects that. The east side near Route 59 and the blocks along the Fox River hold older homes, many from before 1970, with smaller panels and detached garages. North Aurora and the far west end have newer subdivisions with modern service. We start every Aurora quote by finding out which kind of house you live in.

On the older side of the city, expect a bit more detective work. A 100 amp panel, a fuse box or a garage across the yard changes the job. We watch your video, add up the load, and tell you honestly whether the existing service handles a Level 2 charger. If you need an upgrade, we put the number in writing before any work begins.

Aurora also has a big share of rental houses, two-flats and small apartment buildings. Owners who want charging for tenants have to think about meters, billing and who has access. We can wire a dedicated metered circuit or a networked charger that tracks use, and we take care of the permit paperwork. A small building usually works best with one planned layout.

EV charging services in Aurora

Level 2 home charger install

A wall-mounted Level 2 charger on its own breaker is the standard Aurora install. We plan the cable path through the garage and finish with a labeled circuit and a test charge.

Tesla Wall Connector

We install the Tesla Gen 3 and Universal Wall Connector, hardwired, in Aurora garages of every style, including older block and brick garages where we use surface conduit.

Panel upgrade or load check

Plenty of east side Aurora houses still run 100 amp service or fuses. We run a load check, then explain the choices between load management and a new panel.

Detached garage or long run

Narrow Aurora lots often put the garage at the back, past a yard or driveway. We route conduit overhead or underground and quote the run length plainly before work.

Commercial and multi-unit

Aurora landlords, apartment managers, shops and offices can add charging for tenants, staff and customers. We size the service, choose the billing method and pull the permit with the city.

Charger repair

If your Aurora charger will not start, loses its network or trips the breaker, we diagnose it on site. We work on most home brands and shared station models.

What an install looks like in Aurora

Aurora crosses four counties, so the mix is wide. In newer parts of North Aurora and the west end, we meet attached garages and 200 amp panels, and the job runs about half a day. In older neighborhoods, the panel may be in a basement, the garage may be detached and the walls may be plaster. We plan around each of those from your video.

The City of Aurora issues the electrical permit, and we pull it before work starts. The city inspects the circuit when we finish, and we coordinate that with you. Our crew or an electrician we manage does the work, and it meets the National Electrical Code. We tell you about any safety issue we find with existing wiring.

Cost and ComEd rebates for Aurora homes

Aurora homes with 200 amp service and a charger close to the panel typically cost $1,200 to $2,500 installed, charger included. Detached garages and longer conduit runs typically cost $2,000 to $4,000. Where the house needs a bigger service, plan on typically $2,000 to $4,500 on top. That cost is quoted as its own item so you can see it clearly.

Aurora is in ComEd territory, which means the 2027 residential rebate of $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else may apply to a Level 2 charger and installation. Funding is limited and there are income based tiers. We handle the rebate paperwork and tell you what ComEd needs from you. If a problem sits outside the scope of the charger, you hear about it and decide what to do.

Before we come out

  • A photo of your panel or fuse box with the door open
  • The location of your garage relative to the house and meter
  • Whether you own the property or rent, since landlords need to approve the work
  • The ComEd account number from your bill, for the rebate
  • The year the house was built and any past electrical work
  • For rentals: whether tenants will pay for charging and how

Aurora EV charger questions

Can I install a charger in an older Aurora house?

Usually yes. Older homes may need a panel check, longer wire runs or a service upgrade first. We review your panel photo, calculate the load and give you clear options with prices, including a lower-power setup if that fits your car and your budget.

Does Aurora require a permit for an EV charger?

Yes. The City of Aurora issues the electrical permit for a new 240 volt circuit and inspects it afterward. We apply for the permit, arrange the inspection and hand you the closed-out paperwork when it is done.

Can an Aurora landlord charge tenants for EV charging?

Yes. We can install a separately metered circuit or a networked charger that tracks usage. We plan the electrical service, access and billing with you, and we handle the permit. Talk to us before choosing a unit so the setup fits your building.

How long does an EV charger install take in Aurora?

A typical install takes two to four hours on site, after the permit is in hand. Older homes with long runs or panel work take longer. We tell you the plan and the time when we send your photo-based quote.

Can I get a ComEd rebate in Aurora?

In most cases, yes. Aurora is in ComEd territory, and the 2027 program offers $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else with limited funding and income tiers. We prepare the application and submit it, so you do not have to manage the process alone.
