EV Charging Station Installation
Electric cars have been growing in popularity for years in our area. With advances in technology and more models and options available, electric vehicles really are the wave of the future! And while we’ve all seen those charging stations at the mall or downtown, if you didn’t work or live right next to that area, in the past owning an electric car wasn’t very convenient. However, with the expert electrician services from Hobaica. owning an EV (electric vehicle) has never been easier! We offer home EV charging station installation services to make owning an electric car more convenient than ever before.
1 – Inspection – Our electrician will first inspect your electrical panel as well as your home’s current electrical load. Your electric vehicle will require extra electricity and we want to make sure your current set up can handle it.
2 – Upgrade – If we find that your panel would not be able to handle its current load plus what charging an EV would add, we will bring your electric panel up to speed.
3 – Location – After we’ve determined your electric panel can handle the added amps, we will work with you on a layout that makes sense in order for you to charge your vehicle with ease and convenience.
4 – Installation – When the perfect location has been determined, our electrician will run a 40-60 circuit independently to the charger, enough to power 240 volt EV chargers.
Having an EV charging station installed can allow you to conveniently charge your electric vehicle at home and can also add value to your home. Typically, EV charging station installation costs around 450,500-5000,500. but the cost will vary depending on what type of charging station you want installed. Level 2 charging stations are generally more expensive to install than level 1 stations.

No. EV charging points need to be installed by a licensed professional in order to perform correctly. Installing an EV charging station yourself can lead to faulty work that is unsafe for you to use, and you also risk violating code regulations and voiding your warranty. This means that if you install it incorrectly and damage it, you’ll have to pay for the repairs yourself. Having a licensed professional with the proper knowledge and experience can ensure that your EV charging station is installed correctly and is safe to use.

No. Level 3 chargers are not designed for residential properties. Most homes cannot handle the voltage of level 3 charging stations, and the stations themselves are very expensive to install and not worth the cost to charge your vehicle with. Level 3 chargers are generally only installed on commercial properties, but both level 1 and level 2 charging stations are a good fit for most residential homes.

Benefits of an EV Charger Station
Should you get an EV charger station installed in your garage or on your property? If you own an electric vehicle, then we think you should, especially now that these systems are more affordable than ever. Many companies that manufacture EV charger stations for home installation have also implemented flexible payment plans that help fit your budget. You can also talk to us about finding the most affordable and efficient system for your vehicle’s needs.
The two biggest benefits of getting a home EV charger station are:
- Cost savings: As mentioned, EV charger stations are less costly now than ever before due to price drops and payment plans. But there are other ways that you can save big by getting one of these systems in your garage. If you have a solar panel system on your property, then we can integrate the EV charger station into it, allowing the sun to provide all the power your car needs to run. You might also be eligible for state or federal tax rebates if you go green by installing an EV station in your own home.
- Convenience: Maybe you aren’t worried too much about your finances? Getting an EV charger station can still be a great boon for you in terms of convenience. You won’t have to worry about going to the mall, library, or dealership to plug in your car and give it a charge once or twice a week. You won’t even have to worry about whether the charging station you want is available when you arrive. With an EV station on your own property, you can plan your trips with less stress because you know that your car can be charged whenever you need it.
Why You Should Get Professional Installation
As great as EV charging stations might be, you should beware of any that are sold as “do-it-yourself” installation, which is becoming more popular. The concept of plugging a station right into a preexisting wall outlet in your garage and being good-to-go is novel, but it is misleading. Oftentimes, the wiring in the average home is not rated to effectively handle an EV charging station added onto it. The result can be that the station charges incredibly slowly, doesn’t charge your car at all, or even poses an electrical fire hazard.
We encourage you to speak with our Orlando EV charging station installation pros to learn more. During an initial inspection of your property, we can determine if your home’s electrical system will be safe and ready for a station. If it is not, then we can discuss what work needs to be done to upgrade the system, how soon we can do it, and how we keep those services competitively priced for your advantage as the customer.

Deciding Between EV Charger Repair or Replacement
If your EV charger in Orlando, FL is having problems, you might be wondering whether a repair is worth it or if you should just have a new one installed. The biggest consideration is age. Is your charging station more than 10 years old? Since this is the expected lifespan of an EV charger, you may be due for a replacement. Major problems such as extreme water damage will probably be best addressed with an installation.
However, if there is a simple electrical problem or minor damage, we’ll probably suggest a repair. At A-Lumination Electric Inc., we always try to match you with the perfect service so that we are never selling you something you don’t need or something that’s out of your budget.
