EV Charger Installation
Level 2 chargers: Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Wallbox, Grizzl-E. We do the load calc on your existing service, run the conduit, mount the unit and book the inspector. Permitted and inspected. No corners.
Overview
A Level 2 install, done properly.
Most EV charger installs are straightforward, but a few things have to go right. The breaker has to be sized for the unit. The wire has to be rated for the run and the current. The service panel has to have the capacity. And the inspection has to pass before the unit gets energized.
We do all of that. We start with a service capacity load calculation, which tells us whether your existing 100A or 200A service can handle the new load or whether you need a panel upgrade first. Then we run the conduit (interior, through the wall or exterior surface mount), pull wire to the manufacturer spec, install the dedicated breaker, mount the unit and commission it. The whole thing is permitted with the City of Edmonton and inspected on completion. If you want a NEMA 14-50 receptacle instead of a hardwired unit, we do those too.

When you’ll want to call us
You just took delivery of an EV (or you’re about to) and you want a real charger, not a slow Level 1 trickle. You’re moving into a place with no charger and want one mounted before move-in. You’re not sure if your existing service can carry one. You’re switching from a NEMA 14-50 plug-in to a hardwired install. You’re a small business adding charging stalls for staff or customers.
What we won’t do
We won’t undersize the breaker or the wire to save money. Chargers run at full load for hours and the install has to handle that. We won’t skip the load calc. We won’t recommend a panel upgrade you don’t need. And we won’t install a charger without a permit, even if you’re tempted to skip it.
