Your electric vehicle will be a purchase you’ll love for many years to come! It will save you a lot of money over the long run. But due to your vehicle now being electric, you no longer need to fill up your tank. Now, charging up is something you need to do. You could do this at a supercharger, but installing an electric car charging station in your home is a much more convenient option. Contact the experts at A1 Plus Electrical, Heating and Air to help you pick out, install, or repair your electric car charging station today.
No matter the problem, our Houston electricians will determine what needs to be replaced before any work is done. So you know exactly what solution is best for your home electrical system.
Home electric vehicle (EV) charging stations come in three primary types, each offering different charging speeds and levels of installation complexity. Here’s a breakdown of the most common models:
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and are the most basic option for home use. They offer slow charging speeds, typically adding 3-5 miles of range per hour. This option is best for drivers with low daily mileage or those with plug-in hybrids, as they can take 20 hours or more to fully charge your car.
Level 2 chargers use a 240-volt outlet and offer significantly faster charging than Level 1, adding about 25-30 miles of range per hour. Most fully electric vehicles can charge overnight in 4-8 hours. These chargers are ideal for households with higher mileage or multiple electric cars.
DC fast chargers are the most powerful option. They can add 60-100 miles of range in just 20 minutes but require significant electrical upgrades. These chargers, however, are typically most suitable for commercial locations rather than residential settings.
Our professional EV home charging station installation process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your home’s electrical system to determine the best location and necessary upgrades for safe, efficient charging. Skilled electricians will evaluate your panel capacity and circuit requirements to guarantee seamless integration of the charging station without overloading your system.
Once the location is finalized, they carefully set up the charger, running dedicated wiring and grounding to support its high power demands. Precision and attention to detail help make certain that the EV charging installation not only adheres to local electrical codes but also optimizes charging efficiency. After installation, the team thoroughly tests the system, confirming the charger is fully operational and capable of delivering the power your electric vehicle needs.
To keep your home EV charging station in perfect condition and prolong its lifespan, regular maintenance is a must. Regular visual inspections are a good starting point — check for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion on the charging cable, connector, and station housing. Keep the station clean by wiping it down periodically with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. If you notice any cracks, exposed wires, or loose components, refrain from using the station and contact a professional immediately, as they have the mastery and skill to tackle electrical issues safely.
It’s also important to protect your charging station from the elements; if it’s outdoors, consider installing a cover or canopy to shield it from rain, snow, and direct sunlight. For routine care, make sure the charging cable is properly coiled and stored when not in use to prevent tripping hazards and cable damage.
While these basic maintenance tasks can be handled by most homeowners, there are several situations where it’s best to call in a qualified electrician or EV charging specialist. These include:
We have a range of maintenance plans and financing options to choose from, so you can get the EV charging station tune-ups and repairs needed without breaking the bank.
