EV charger installation
Level 2 charging sized to your panel's real headroom, with the load calculation done before we quote, not after.
How we approach it
Most EV charger quotes skip the only question that matters: does your service have room for a 40–48 A continuous load? We run the demand calculation first. If your 100 A service has the headroom, we install the charger. If it doesn't, we'll show you the arithmetic and the three honest options: a smaller charger, a load-management device, or a service upgrade, with prices for each. What we won't do is land a 48 A charger on a maxed-out panel and let the main breaker referee.

Planning ranges for typical homes, HST extra. The firm number is written after a site visit, and includes the ESA permit as its own line.
| Job | Range (CAD) |
|---|---|
| 40 A plug-in circuit (14-50 receptacle) Charger plugs in; panel within 3 m; charger unit not included | $750–$1,100 |
| 48 A hardwired circuit Direct-wired charger, panel within 3 m; charger unit not included | $950–$1,400 |
| Distance premium, 3–10 m run Conduit or fished cable to a garage or far wall | $150–$350 |
| Distance premium, 10 m+ or opposite side of house Longer runs, exterior conduit, or trenching to a detached garage priced after site visit | $350–$700 |
| Load-management device Sheds the charger when the house peaks, often beats a $4,000 service upgrade | $650–$900 |
Honesty note Charger hardware runs $500–$950 depending on amperage and features; supply it yourself or have us include it: the labour price is the same either way. Rebate programs come and go; we'll check what applies when you book rather than promising last year's program.
