The cost of installing an EV charger depends on your current electrical service capacity and specific requirements. Key factors include:

  • Electrical service capacity: Is your service less than 100 amps, 100 amps, or 200 amps. If your service is 100 amps or lower and you have other high-load items like electric heating or a hot tub, your panel capacity may be limited.
  • Distance and wiring path: How far is the charger from the panel, and what is the optimal path for the wiring
  • Charger type: Do you need a slow charger or a fast charger. Fast chargers typically require more amps, which can impact costs.

Estimated costs for installing an EV charger typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the work required.

The cost to install a hydro pole depends on several factors, including:

There are several signs that your electrical panel may need an upgrade:

  • Frequent circuit breaker trips or blown fuses.
  • Flickering or dimming lights, especially when using multiple appliances.
  • You’re planning to add high-load devices like EV chargers, hot tubs, or large appliances.
  • Your home still has an older fuse box or a panel rated below 100 amps.

Upgrading your panel ensures your electrical system is safe, efficient, and capable of handling your current and future energy needs.

There are several ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency:

  • Upgrade to energy-efficient LED lighting.
  • Install programmable or smart thermostats to optimize heating and cooling.
  • Add motion sensors or timers for outdoor and indoor lighting.
  • Consider installing solar panels or integrating a battery storage system.
  • Upgrade outdated appliances to energy-efficient models.
