What We Offer
Our comprehensive EV charging station services cover everything from initial consultation to ongoing maintenance. We work with all major EV charger brands and can recommend the best solution for your specific vehicle, electrical system, and charging needs.
Level 2 Home Charging Station Installation
Level 2 charging stations are the most popular choice for home installation, providing significantly faster charging than standard 120V outlets. These 240V systems can fully charge most electric vehicles in 4-8 hours, making overnight charging convenient and practical. Our electricians install dedicated circuits with proper GFCI protection and ensure your charging station is positioned for easy access while maintaining safety clearances. We handle all permit applications and inspections required in Wheaton and surrounding communities.
Electrical Panel Upgrades and Circuit Installation
Many homes require electrical upgrades to support EV charging stations safely. We assess your current electrical panel capacity and recommend upgrades when necessary. This often includes installing new 40-amp or 50-amp circuits, upgrading service panels, or adding sub-panels to accommodate the additional electrical load. Our team ensures your entire electrical system can handle both your home’s existing needs and your new EV charging requirements.
Smart Charging Solutions
Modern EV charging stations offer advanced features like Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone app control, and energy monitoring. We install and configure smart chargers that allow you to schedule charging during off-peak hours, monitor energy usage, and receive notifications when charging is complete. These features help maximize cost savings and provide convenient control over your home charging system.
Commercial EV Charging Installation
For businesses in DuPage, Cook, and Kane counties looking to attract EV-driving customers or provide charging for company vehicles, we offer commercial EV charging solutions. This includes multi-port stations, payment processing systems, and network connectivity for fleet management.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does EV charging station installation take?
Most residential EV charging installations take 4-6 hours to complete, assuming your electrical panel has adequate capacity and the installation location is easily accessible. If electrical panel upgrades are needed, the project may take 1-2 days. We provide accurate time estimates during our initial consultation and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Do I need a permit for EV charging station installation?
Yes, EV charging station installations in Wheaton and most surrounding communities require electrical permits. The good news is we handle all permit applications, scheduling inspections, and ensuring code compliance. This includes proper circuit sizing, GFCI protection, grounding, and meeting clearance requirements. Our familiarity with local codes helps ensure smooth permit approval and passing inspections.
Can my home’s electrical system support an EV charger?
Many homes can support EV charging, but some require electrical upgrades. Level 2 charging stations typically need dedicated 40-amp circuits, which require adequate electrical panel capacity. During our consultation, we evaluate your current electrical system, calculate total load requirements, and recommend any necessary upgrades. Homes with older 100-amp panels often benefit from upgrading to 200-amp service.
What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 charging uses standard 120V household outlets and adds about 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging. Level 2 charging uses 240V circuits (like those for electric dryers) and provides 25-40 miles of range per hour. For most EV owners, Level 2 home charging is essential for convenient daily use, especially for longer commutes or larger battery vehicles.
