Wake up to a full battery every morning
Level 2 charger installation for Fort Collins, Timnath, Windsor and the rest of Northern Colorado. We run the load calculation before we sell you anything — so nobody discovers a problem halfway through.
Level 1 vs Level 2, in plain numbers
The charger that came in your trunk works. It’s just slow enough to change how you plan your week.
Level 1 — the wall outlet
Standard 120V household outlet. Roughly 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. A full charge on an empty battery can take two to three days. Fine for a plug-in hybrid or a short commute; frustrating for anything else.
Level 2 — a dedicated 240V circuit
Roughly 25 to 40 miles of range per hour depending on the vehicle and circuit size. Empty to full overnight, every night. This is what nearly everyone with a full EV ends up installing.
The load calculation comes first. Always.
An EV charger is one of the largest continuous loads a house will ever carry. Before anyone talks about brands or mounting locations, the real question is whether your electrical service can carry it.
- We calculate your existing demand against your service size
- If there's room, we size the circuit and get on with it
- If there isn't, we show you the math and your options — including load management devices that can avoid a panel upgrade entirely
- You find this out at the estimate, not with your garage wall open
Every EV install covers all of this
Any major brand
Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Emporia, Grizzl-E, Wallbox, or the unit that came with your Ford, Rivian or Hyundai. Bring your own or we'll recommend one.
Hardwired or plug-in
Hardwired is cleaner and required for some higher-amperage units. A NEMA 14-50 outlet keeps the charger portable. We'll explain the tradeoff for your situation.
Permit & inspection
EV circuits require a permit in our service area. We pull it, meet the inspector, and hand you the signed paperwork.
Detached garages
Long trenched runs, subpanels in outbuildings, and shops across the yard. Distance changes the wire size, not whether it's possible.
Tidy conduit runs
Straight lines, level mounting, secured properly. Your garage shouldn't look like someone stapled an extension cord to the wall.
Two-year warranty
Workmanship warranty on the install, plus whatever the charger manufacturer covers on the hardware.
Your builder ran the conduit. Nobody finished the job.
It’s the most common EV call we get from newer neighborhoods. The builder installed an empty conduit stub and a blank plate in the garage, which counts as “EV ready” on the spec sheet but won’t charge anything.
- We pull the conductors through the existing conduit — no new trenching or drywall work
- Breaker installed and circuit terminated properly at both ends
- Charger mounted at a height that suits how you actually park
- Typically a same-day job when the rough-in is already there
What homeowners ask before booking
Do I need a panel upgrade to add a charger?
Often no. Plenty of homes with 150 or 200-amp service have room already. Even some 100-amp homes can work with a load management device that pauses charging when other big loads run. We’d rather install a $200 device than sell you a panel you don’t need. If you do need one, here’s what’s involved.
How long does the installation take?
A straightforward garage install next to the panel is usually three to five hours. Long runs, detached garages or finished-wall routing take longer. We’ll tell you which yours is at the estimate.
Should I buy the charger myself?
Either way works. If you already own one, we’ll install it. If not, tell us your vehicle and whether you care about app features and we’ll give you two or three honest options at different price points.
What amperage circuit do I need?
Most homes land on a 50-amp circuit feeding a 40-amp charger, which covers overnight charging for essentially every EV sold. Larger 60 or 80-amp circuits only help if your vehicle’s onboard charger can actually accept them — many can’t, so it’s wasted money.
Are there rebates in Northern Colorado?
Utility and state incentive programs change often, so we won’t promise a specific amount. What we will do is give you an itemized invoice with the equipment and labor broken out, which is what almost every rebate application asks for. Check your utility’s current program before you book.
