When to Call
Common signs this service may be needed
These are useful starting points, not a substitute for an electrical inspection or diagnosis.
Existing charger trips
Repeated trips can indicate a load, circuit, wiring, or equipment problem.
Long charging times
The charger, vehicle, circuit, and available power all affect charging performance.
Panel has limited capacity
An electrical capacity review may be needed before adding a substantial EV load.
Installing multiple chargers
Commercial or multifamily charging can require coordinated load and circuit planning.
Moving a charger
A new location can require different wiring length, routing, protection, and equipment considerations.
How the Work Starts
A clear electrical service process
01
Identify charger and location
Confirm the EV charger, mounting location, vehicle use, and equipment requirements.
02
Evaluate circuit and capacity
Review the available electrical capacity and circuit requirements.
03
Install wiring and equipment
Complete the charger circuit, wiring, and equipment connections.
04
Test charging connection

Safety First
Do not try to DIY hazardous electrical work
EV chargers are substantial electrical loads. Do not connect a high-current charger to an unsuitable receptacle or circuit, and do not improvise wiring or protection to make a charger work.
For electrical faults, panel work, new circuits, high-load equipment, wet-location electrical work, or concealed wiring, a qualified electrical professional can evaluate the system and determine the appropriate next step.
