Why Home EV Charging Matters

Home EV charging offers convenience, faster charging, and a safer setup than relying on standard outlets or public stations. Instead of planning your day around public chargers, you can plug in at home and charge overnight.

Benefits of a dedicated home EV charger include:

• Convenient overnight charging
• Faster charging with Level 2 equipment
• Less reliance on public charging stations
• A dedicated circuit designed for continuous EV loads
• Proper wiring and electrical protection
• A setup matched to your vehicle and driving habits
• Flexibility for future EV upgrades

For Fort Collins homeowners who regularly make local trips or longer drives, waking up to a charged vehicle can simplify daily routines. We help you select an appropriate charger and install the required wiring and protection according to current electrical standards, avoiding unsafe extension cords or overloaded outlets.

Our EV Charger Installation Process

Assessment & Planning

When you contact us about adding an EV charger, we start by listening. We ask about your vehicle, how many miles you typically drive, and where you would like the charging station to be located. This helps us understand your expectations and any constraints, such as parking layout or distance from the main electrical panel.

During the on-site visit, our technicians perform a full evaluation of your electrical system. We look at panel capacity, existing loads, and available breaker space. We also review the route from the panel to the proposed charger location and consider how to protect wiring and equipment. This Proven Process lets us identify whether your current setup can support an additional circuit or if upgrades would be recommended before installing a new EV charging station.

Clear Options & Up-Front Approval

Once we understand your home’s electrical picture, we sit down with you to explain your options. We outline choices that can include different charger capacities, panel work if needed, and possible locations that balance convenience with code considerations. With our In Your Hands approach, we walk through the pros and cons of each path and provide clear pricing, then we wait for your approval before any work begins.

You stay in control of the scope and cost from start to finish. Our goal is to recommend a home EV charging setup that fits your needs without pushing unnecessary work. We take time to answer questions in plain language, so you feel confident in the decision you make.

Professional Installation & Testing

After you approve the plan, our technicians complete the installation steps with attention to safety and detail. This can include adding a dedicated circuit, installing conduit or cable, mounting the charging unit, and making final terminations in the panel according to current electrical codes. We draw on more than 220 years of combined experience and ongoing training to perform each task correctly the first time.

Before we leave, we test the charger with your vehicle when possible and show you how to use it, along with basic safety and maintenance tips. We also review any labels or breaker markings we have added, so you know exactly what we did and how your new EV charging station is integrated into your home.

How We Protect Your Home

Respectful Work In Your Space

Adding an EV charger often means working in your garage, on exterior walls, or in finished spaces that connect to your panel. We understand that you care about your floors, walls, stored items, and vehicles, so we plan our work to protect them. Our technicians arrive with shoe coverings and floor protection, and they use barriers where needed to help keep dust and debris away from sensitive areas.

We take our Home Care Promise seriously. That means we are careful around your furniture, storage racks, and tools, and we are always mindful of kids and pets who may be moving through the space. If anything needs to be moved to access the panel or run wiring, we discuss it with you first and handle it with care. Throughout the job, we work to keep pathways clear and your home as organized as possible.

Clean-Up & Walkthrough

At the end of the installation, we clean up our work areas thoroughly. We remove coverings, collect scrap materials, and wipe down surfaces where we have been working. Then we walk you through what we have done, point out any new equipment, and answer questions about operating your charger.

Our 5-Star Assurance means that if at any point you feel our service is not at a 5-star level, you can tell our technicians and we will work to make it right. We want you to feel just as good about how we treated your home as you do about your new charging setup.
