Power for the car and for the next outage.

All three of these jobs tie into your panel, and the panel has to be ready for them. A car charger pulls a heavy load for hours. A backup generator has to feed the house without ever feeding back onto the line. A surge protector only works if it is sized and grounded right.

We check the panel and the service first. If there is room, the install is straightforward. If there isn't, we tell you before you buy the charger or the generator, and we explain what it would take to make room.

What the job includes

• Tesla Wall Connectors and other Level 2 chargers
• 240 volt (220) outlets for plug-in chargers
• Backup generator hookups and panel work to go with them
• Standby generator wiring for homes and businesses
• Whole-home surge protection at the panel
• A panel and load check before we quote

Signs it's time to call

• A new EV in the garage, or one on order
• You want the house to keep running during an outage
• A storm or a power blip took out electronics
• A generator you own but can't safely connect

What it costs

The price comes down to how far the charger or generator sits from the panel, and whether the panel has room. We look at both and give you one price before work starts.

From a customer

"After searching for the last 3 years trying to find an electrician who could help us to install a backup generator into our home power system, He was friendly, quick, efficient and knowledgeable of how to do the job properly... He took the time to upgrade our panel, ensure everything was wired properly and did it in record time."Nicole B., Google review
