FAQs

EV Charger Installation FAQs

Common questions we hear from Sacramento homeowners and property owners about installing a safe, reliable home EV charger.

  • Do I need a professional electrician to install an EV charger?

    Yes. An EV charger should be installed by a licensed electrician to make sure the wiring, breaker size, load capacity, and grounding are all correct. We install EV chargers to current code, handle permitting and inspections when needed, and make sure your home charging setup is safe and built to last. High Level Electric is licensed, bonded, and insured in California, license #1142142.

  • Can my electrical panel handle an EV charger?

    Maybe, but we need to check it first. Some homes already have enough capacity for a Level 2 EV charger, while others need a panel upgrade or load management solution. We start with an on-site assessment, look at your panel, service size, and charging goals, and then give you a clear, upfront recommendation. If your panel needs work, we can handle that too.

  • How long does EV charger installation take?

    Many EV charger installations can be completed in one visit, but the exact timing depends on the distance from the panel, whether new wiring is needed, and if a permit or panel upgrade is required. We keep communication clear from the start, explain the timeline, and work efficiently so you can start charging at home as soon as possible.

  • Do you handle permits and inspections?

    Yes, we do. If your EV charger installation requires permitting or inspection, we take care of it for you. That helps make the process easier and gives you peace of mind that the work is being done properly, safely, and to Sacramento-area code requirements.

  • How much does EV charger installation cost?

    The cost depends on a few things, like your panel capacity, charger location, wiring distance, and whether electrical upgrades are needed. We provide free estimates and honest, upfront pricing after an on-site assessment. There are no surprises. Payment is collected after the job is completed, and we accept cards, Apple Pay, checks, cash, Zelle, Venmo, Klarna/financing, and in-house financing.
