Absolutely! As electric vehicles become more popular, home EV charger installation has become extremely common. However, every home’s electrical capacity is different. Our licensed electricians in Ottawa will check if there’s adequate space in your electrical panel to support the proper EV charger installation. We provide complete residential EV charger services throughout Ottawa and surrounding areas.
2. Who should install my home electric vehicle charger?

3. What types of EV chargers can you install?
We install three main types of electric vehicle chargers.

Most residential charging solutions use Level 2, which provides efficient EV charger performance for daily home charging needs.
4. How does the EV charger installation process work?
Our installation process includes assessing your home’s electrical system, determining the best location for your charger, upgrading your electrical panel if needed based on the age of your home, installing the appropriate circuit and wiring, mounting the EV charger station, and completing final installation testing.
