Full charge overnight from your own garage. We run the circuit, mount the charger, pull the permit, and file your ComEd rebate. Most homes are done in one visit.
30 seconds. We text you back the same day with what to film, then your estimate.
A Level 2 charger is the one that makes an electric car easy to live with. A standard wall outlet adds about four miles of range an hour. A 48 amp Level 2 charger adds 30 to 45 miles an hour, which means a nearly empty battery is full by morning no matter what you drive. Every install we do starts with a dedicated 240 volt circuit sized for the charger and for the panel you actually have.
There are two ways to do it. Hardwired is cleaner, allows 48 amp charging, and is what Tesla, ChargePoint and Wallbox recommend. A NEMA 14-50 outlet is a good choice if you want to take a portable charger with you when you move or keep the option open for an RV. We install both and will tell you which fits your car, your panel, and your garage.
Reach out with your name and number and we text you back the same day. We will ask for a short video from your panel to the spot where the charger goes and six quick questions about the house, run the load calculation, and send a written estimate. A free site visit confirms the number before we book, with the permit and inspection built in. If your panel can take it, that number is usually between $1,200 and $2,500.
The price covers the full job, not just the labor. We size the breaker to the charger, run copper wire or conduit from the panel to the charger location, mount and wire the unit, test it on your car, and label the panel. The electrical permit from your village or city is pulled in our name and we meet the inspector so you do not have to take a day off.
After the inspection passes we assemble your ComEd rebate packet: invoice, photos, permit, and charger details. ComEd's program pays up to $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else toward a Level 2 charger and its installation. The 2026 funds are spent and the next window opens January 1, 2027, so we time the paperwork for that.
Most homes built after about 1990 have 200 amp service and plenty of room. Many older homes in La Grange, Elmhurst, Downers Grove, Joliet and Lockport still have 100 amp panels, and those often work too. We run the load calculation the code requires, using your real appliances, and tell you the biggest charger your panel supports without an upgrade.
When the math is tight there is usually a cheaper answer than a new service. A charger with load management can throttle itself when the dryer and oven are on, and a 32 or 40 amp install still fills most cars overnight. We only recommend a panel upgrade when it is the honest answer.
We arrive in the morning with the wire, breaker, conduit and the charger. Power is off for about an hour while we land the breaker. A straight run to an attached garage takes three to five hours. A detached garage, an attic run, or trenching takes most of a day. We clean up, show you the charger app, and set your charging schedule for ComEd's cheaper overnight rates if you are on a time of use plan.
You get the permit sticker, an invoice that matches the rebate requirements, and a text from us a week later to make sure everything is charging the way it should.
A 48 amp charger needs a 60 amp breaker and must be hardwired. A 40 amp charger needs a 50 amp breaker and can be hardwired or plugged into a NEMA 14-50 outlet. For most drivers the difference is 30 versus 36 miles of range an hour, and both fill the car overnight. We recommend 48 amp when the panel supports it.
Tesla Wall Connector and Universal Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Emporia, Wallbox and Grizzl-E, all UL listed Level 2 units, or a NEMA 14-50 outlet for the mobile connector that came with your car. Tell us what you drive and we recommend the right one. The charger comes with the install, so the whole job is on one invoice.
As far as it needs to be. Longer runs cost more because of wire size and conduit, and a run across the house or to a detached garage is usually what moves a job from the first price tier to the second. The video from your panel to your garage shows us the distance and any finished walls before we quote.
No. We schedule the inspection, meet the inspector, and send you a photo of the approved permit. We only ask that someone can let the inspector in if the panel is inside the house.
Yes. Outdoor installs use a weatherproof charger, outdoor rated conduit, and an in use cover if we install an outlet. Driveway and carport installs are common for homes without an attached garage.
Gen 3 and Universal Wall Connector installs on a 60 amp circuit for full 48 amp charging. Works with Tesla, Ford, Rivian, Hyundai and any NACS car.
