As the adoption of electric vehicles surges, having a reliable and code-compliant charging solution at home is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. With more than 25 years of electrical expertise, we specialize in Level 2 EV charger installations that deliver speed, safety, and long-term value.
Why Install an EV Charger at Home?
Installing a dedicated EV charger at home isn’t just about convenience—it’s about making the most of your vehicle investment, reducing charging times, and ensuring long-term system safety.
1. Faster Charging
A Level 2 charger can charge your EV 4–10 times faster than a standard 120V wall outlet. Most Level 2 systems can fully charge a battery overnight, making it ideal for daily use.
2. Long-Term Cost Savings
Public charging stations often include fees that add up over time. Charging at home with a dedicated system allows for:
- Lower cost per kilowatt-hour
- Scheduled charging during off-peak rates
- Reduced wear and tear from inefficient charging
3. Safety and Compliance
Using a standard outlet long-term can pose risks. Our EV charger installation services include proper load calculations, circuit protection, and grounding to prevent overheating or electrical failure.
4. Increase Home Value
As EV adoption grows, properties with professional EV charger installations are more appealing to buyers. It’s an investment in both sustainability and property resale potential.
Our Process: Seamless, Safe, and Code-Compliant
McCarthy Electric and Technologies guides you through every step of the installation process—from planning to powering up. Here’s how we do it:
Step 1: In-Home Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your home’s existing electrical system. This includes:
- Panel capacity check
- Electrical load calculations
- Outlet location analysis
This ensures that your system can safely support a Level 2 charger without overloading.
Step 2: Transparent Estimate
Once we complete the assessment, we provide a detailed estimate, including all materials, labor, and permit costs—no surprises. We also advise on future-proofing options if you’re considering solar or smart panel upgrades later.
Step 3: Professional Installation
Our Tesla-certified electricians install your charger according to all local and state codes. This includes:
- Installing a dedicated circuit
- Mounting the wall unit or NEMA 14-50 outlet
- Ensuring weather protection (for outdoor installs)
- Coordinating with inspectors and permitting offices
Step 4: Testing and Customer Walkthrough
Before we leave, we test the charger, connect it to your EV, and walk you through how to use it. Our job isn’t done until you’re confident and fully powered.

EV Charger Installation for Remodels and New Construction
If you’re already remodeling your home, building a new addition, or planning a garage renovation, now is the ideal time to install an EV charger. Integrating the charger during construction makes it easier—and often more affordable—to:
- Run dedicated conduit before walls are closed
- Upgrade the service panel during a larger project
- Plan smart panel or energy storage integration
McCarthy Electric regularly partners with homeowners and contractors to plan charger installations during kitchen remodels, garage expansions, or solar-ready upgrades.
The Future of EV Charging Starts in Your Home
As electric vehicles become more common, your home’s electrical system must evolve to meet modern demands. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, EVs could account for up to 50% of new car sales by 2030. That means more homes in your neighborhood will soon require professional charging solutions.
Don’t wait until your outlet burns out or your panel trips. Let McCarthy Electric design a system that charges safely, efficiently, and sustainably for years to come.
FAQs: EV Charger Installation
How long does it take to install a Level 2 EV charger?
Most installations can be completed in 3–4 hours, depending on panel location, wiring path, and permitting. We’ll provide a time estimate during your consultation.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for an EV charger?
Not always. Our certified electricians conduct a load calculation during the assessment. If your current panel is maxed out, we’ll recommend a panel upgrade and explain all options clearly.
Can you install chargers for brands other than Tesla?
Yes. While we’re Tesla-certified, we also install chargers for other brands like ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and more—so long as the unit meets current safety and compatibility standards.
