EV Charger Installation in Pittsburgh, PA
Having a reliable home charging station means you start every day with a full charge. We install Level 2 EV chargers from all major brands with proper panel evaluation and code-compliant wiring.
What Is a Level 2 EV Charger?
A Level 2 EV charger operates on a 240-volt circuit — the same type of circuit used for a clothes dryer or electric range. It charges your electric vehicle significantly faster than a standard 120-volt outlet, typically adding 25-30 miles of range per hour of charging.
Installation involves running a dedicated circuit from your electrical panel to the charger location, installing the charger unit, and ensuring your panel has sufficient capacity for the additional load. For most homeowners, this means waking up every morning with a fully charged vehicle.
Signs You Need a Home EV Charger
Why Professional EV Charger Installation Matters
An EV charger draws significant power — typically 30 to 50 amps on a dedicated circuit. Improper installation can overload your panel, create fire hazards, or damage your vehicle's charging system. Professional installation ensures your charger is wired safely, your panel can handle the load, and everything meets electrical code.
Many homeowners discover during installation that their panel needs an upgrade or does not have space for an additional high-amperage breaker. A licensed electrician evaluates this before installation begins, so there are no surprises.

Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and charges slowly (3-5 miles per hour). Level 2 uses a 240V circuit and charges much faster (25-30 miles per hour), making it the preferred choice for home charging.
