Lemont was built on canal trade and limestone quarries, and the old homes around the Lemont Historic District, Canal Street and Stephen Street still carry that age. Many have basements dug into rock, panels that were upgraded in pieces, and detached garages that were added decades after the house. An EV charger fits, but the route and the panel need planning, and ONIT EV Charging does that planning first.

Away from downtown, Lemont changes. Newer subdivisions along Bluff Road, 127th Street and toward Homer Glen mean larger lots, finished basements and three-car garages, with 200 amp panels as the norm. Installs there are close to straightforward. A circuit goes from the panel to a garage wall, and the only real choice is where the charger goes. The charger itself is the easy part.

Lemont's bluffs and uneven lots can make underground runs trickier, so we check the ground and the path before quoting a detached garage. The Village of Lemont issues the electrical permit, our crew does the work, and we prepare your ComEd rebate application so you can focus on picking a charger. You will know the price before any digging begins.

EV charging services in Lemont

Level 2 home charger install

A dedicated 240 volt circuit and a hardwired charger, mounted where your car actually parks. In Lemont's newer homes, the panel and garage are usually close, and the job moves quickly.

Tesla Wall Connector

We install the Tesla Wall Connector hardwired for 48 amps, with the cable routed neatly to your charge port. Older limestone-era houses get a load check before we set the breaker size.

Panel upgrade and load check

Homes near the quarries and the canal can have patched-together electrical systems. We study the panel, identify what is safe to keep and price an upgrade only if the load calculation calls for one.

Detached garage or long run

Many older Lemont properties have a garage out back. We run conduit or a buried feeder around rock, grade changes and landscaping, and quote the full run before any digging starts.

Commercial and multi-unit

Downtown Lemont shops, offices and small apartment buildings can add Level 2 stations. We design the load, pick the locations and pull the permit for the property owner.

Charger repair and swaps

We repair chargers that stop at partial power, trip breakers or lose their connection. We also replace aging units and move a charger when you rearrange the garage.

What an install looks like in Lemont

A home in the historic district may have a 100 amp panel in a stone-walled basement and a garage across the yard. We photograph both, calculate the load and plan a route that avoids tearing up what has stood for a century. Newer Lemont homes toward Homer Glen are simpler, with a modern panel just inside the garage. Either way, you see the plan and price before work starts.

Every job goes through the Village of Lemont for a permit and inspection. The work is done to NEC code by an insured crew. We explain what we are doing as we go, set your charger's amperage for your car, and leave the garage as clean as we found it. We also show you how to set your charge limit and schedule from the car or the app.

Cost and rebates for Lemont homeowners

A basic Level 2 install on a 200 amp panel, with the charger near the breaker box, typically costs $1,200 to $2,500 installed, charger included. Detached garages, rock or long conduit runs typically cost $2,000 to $4,000. A service upgrade, if the house needs one, adds $2,000 to $4,500. We confirm that figure from your video, and rock or tight access is priced in before we start.

Lemont runs on ComEd, which means the 2027 residential rebate applies. It offers $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else toward a Level 2 charger and the install, with limited funds and income based tiers. We complete the application and keep an eye on it until ComEd confirms the rebate. A historic district homeowner and a Bluff Road homeowner go through the same simple process, whatever their panel looks like.

Before we come out

  • A photo of the panel and the main breaker label
  • A photo of the path between the panel and where you park
  • The approximate age of your house, especially near the historic district
  • Whether the garage is attached or a separate building out back
  • The ComEd account number and the name it is listed under
  • Any rock, slope or retaining walls between the house and the garage

Lemont EV charger questions

Can a century-old Lemont home near downtown support an EV charger?

Usually yes, once we check the panel. Many older homes have been updated and can carry a 32 or 40 amp charger. If the service is too small, we explain the upgrade and price it clearly before any work starts.

Is a detached garage a problem for charger installation in Lemont?

No. We run conduit or a buried feeder from the panel to the garage and size the wire for the distance. Rock and slopes affect the route and price, so we look at photos first and give you an estimate.

Who issues the permit in Lemont?

The Village of Lemont issues the electrical permit, and we file it for you. We then schedule the inspection after the install. You do not have to visit the village office or complete any forms.

What does a Lemont charger install usually cost?

A straightforward install typically costs $1,200 to $2,500, charger included. A detached garage or long run typically costs $2,000 to $4,000. A panel upgrade adds $2,000 to $4,500. We give a estimate from your video.

Does the ComEd rebate apply in Lemont?

Yes. Lemont households can receive $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else from ComEd's 2027 residential rebate toward a Level 2 charger and install. Funding is limited, and income based tiers exist. We prepare and submit your application and tell you if ComEd needs anything more.
