Types of Home EV Chargers We Install

Whether you recently purchased an EV or are thinking of buying one, having a home EV charger is the height of convenience, allowing you to recharge day or night so you’re always ready to hit the road. Our friendly professionals use advanced equipment and cutting-edge technologies to install a variety of EV chargers. Common EV chargers we handle include: 

• Level 1 chargers: Level 1 EV chargers use a standard 120V outlet to charge your electric vehicle, making them an excellent choice for overnight charging and daily commuting. For homeowners aiming to minimize upfront installation costs, Level 1 chargers can offer a budget-friendly solution to enjoy convenient charging when you need it most.
• Level 2 chargers: Optimize your EV charging experience with a Level 2 charger for faster and more efficient charging. Level 2 EV chargers use a 240V power supply to provide faster charging times compared to Level 1 chargers. They require professional installation and a dedicated circuit, making them ideal for electric vehicle owners needing rapid charging or longer driving distances.

Which EV Charger Is Best for My Needs?

With a wide range of hybrid and electric vehicles on the market today, not to mention the environmental benefits, driving an EV has never been a better choice. Before installing a home EV charger, here are some important factors to consider: 

• EV type: Depending on your electric vehicle's make and model, certain chargers may be more compatible than others. For example, some older models are only equipped with a Level 1 charger port.
• Daily mileage and driving habits: Do you drive long distances daily, or only use your EV for short commutes? Knowing how much you typically drive can help determine whether a faster-charging option like a Level 2 charger is necessary.
• Budget considerations: While investing in a home EV charger can save you money in the long run compared to using public charging stations, it’s important to consider upfront costs and ongoing maintenance expenses when making your decision.

Wondering which type of EV charger is best for your unique needs and budget? No problem! We can help you decide on the best fit for your specific property and preferences.

What to Expect During EV Charger Installation

When you call M&K Heating & Air Conditioning for professional EV charger installation, our electricians will start by inspecting your fuse panel and preferred installation area. On the day of installation, our team will drill a hole in the wall of your garage, pass cables through it, connect the cables to the power source, mount the charger on the wall, and test your new charger to make sure it’s properly connected and functioning correctly. 

Do I Need an Electrician to Install My EV Charger? 

While it may be tempting to cut costs with DIY installation, hiring a certified electrician is essential to avoid serious risks. Electrical work can be extremely dangerous without proper licensing and expertise, increasing the risk of electrical fires, electrocution, and other safety hazards. 

Hiring a professional is important to keep you and your loved ones safe and make sure your new charger is installed properly. With same-day services and weekend appointments available, you can trust our electricians can get the job done quickly and correctly!

What Should I Consider Before Installing a Home EV Charger? 

As a homeowner, choosing the right EV charger for your home is key to optimizing convenience and energy efficiency. It’s important to consider the following:   

• Permitting requirements: Check with your municipality to ensure your home is eligible for EV charger installation. 
• Electrical capacity: Make sure your home has sufficient electrical capacity to handle your new EV charger. We can inspect your current electrical system and recommend any necessary upgrades prior to installation. 
• Charging speed: Consider your daily driving needs and choose a charger that can accommodate your charging preferences.
• Installation location: Our experts can help you decide on the best location for your new charger by considering accessibility, electrical requirements, and future expansion potential.

With a variety of EV chargers on the market today, it’s important to do your research and select the best option for your home and vehicle. Our fully licensed and certified electricians are happy to address any questions or concerns you have throughout the process!

Does Ontario Offer Rebates for EV Chargers?
