EV Charger Installation

Add a Charging Station at Home with the Help of Our Electricians!

The world is entering a new era of transportation. As the capabilities of electric vehicles (EVs) increase, we are seeing more of them on the road and a greater demand for EV charger installation in people's homes. While electric cars offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional vehicles, it’s not always easy to charge an electric car from your home’s standard sockets. Recognizing this challenge, Mister Sparky® is dedicated to providing comprehensive EV charger installation services. Our professional installers are empowering homeowners to effortlessly set up home EV charging stations that ensure a faster and more convenient charging experience compared to standard outlets.

Call our EV charger installation electricians today from Mister Sparky® at (281) 823-7186. We’re ready to help you select a unit that works in your home and with your electric vehicle!

Types of EV Chargers

An electric vehicle’s ability to quickly recharge depends on two things: a home’s electrical supply and the EV charging unit used. EV chargers are broken down into three levels. Level one chargers are the slowest, while level three chargers are the fastest.

Level 1 Chargers

A level 1 charger comes standard with an electric vehicle. Because they use a home’s standard outlet, these chargers are most useful for slow overnight charges.

Level 2 Chargers

Level two chargers do their job faster but require an electrician for installation. These chargers need a dedicated 240-volt circuit to supply a current strong enough to charge an electric vehicle at a faster rate. Level 2 chargers can add approximately 70 miles of range for each hour of charging! These are the most popular options for home charging.

Level 3 Chargers

Level 3 EV chargers are incredibly fast but require an industrial supply of power, making them difficult for homeowners to install. These charging stations can recharge an electric vehicle’s battery to 80% in only 30 minutes. Level 3 chargers are not typically possible to install at home.

Choosing the Right EV Charger

Identifying your needs is the most crucial step in charging your electric car at home. While many people are fine with charging their car overnight with a level 1 charger, many prefer the flexibility provided by a level 2 charger.

When an installer comes to your home, they’ll help with the following issues related to EV charging stations:

Deciding your home’s ability to support a level 2 charger
Picking the right charger for your car model
Upgrading electrical systems as needed for safe operation
Home EV installation according to National Electrical Code and local codes
And more!

What Amperage Do I Need on My Breaker Panel for EV Charger Installation?

To install a Level 2 charger, you will probably need a 150 amp or 200 amp service. For 100 amp service or less, your EV or Tesla charger will probably take up too much capacity for your home. You may need to consider an upgrade for lower amp service. We recommend installing a 200 amp service to ensure you have enough capacity to handle the electrical demands of your home.

When we come to your home, we’ll provide the prompt and friendly service you need to know we’ll do the job right! Our team is always on time, highly-trained, and provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee for your peace of mind.

Donald Hofstetter

Last minute call to the local Mr. Sparky asking for the appointment for today, 4/2/2025. Was given a window of 8:30 AM to 1030 AM for arrival. Got a text that tech was on the way and he arrived a little after 9! The tech, John Tornabene, came in introduced himself and asked what all was going to be done. We pointed out the rooms where the celing light/fan was going to go, where the two pendents were going and where the long light was going. After looking over all the products John got to work. There were a few hick ups along the way and that was due to the use of puck lights and a lot of plastic being used in the construction of the house. John over came it all and finished and left the place better than when he found it. Professional, courteous, friendly and skilled are all good adjectives to describe this man! Great job John, thank you.

Absolutely love love Mr. Sparky of Clear Lake. The whole team is amazing. Rita is so nice and helpful. Our service technician Jake and Blake were awesome. Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Arrived on time and respectful of our home. They did the repairs requested and gave us an honest estimate for other work needed. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.

Jake and Blake arrived in the morning and introduced themselves before proceeding into any inspection of the circuit breaker. Jake thoroughly explained the process of the work that would be performed, how long the job would take, and the cost. Jake showed me pictures from a job that him and Blake did the day before as this would be the same job I was inquiring about for my home, which gave me piece of mind that the job would be done as clean as possible. I asked Jake to email me the quote and after maybe 5 minutes, my mind was made for Jake and Blake to do the job. I felt comfortable with the both of them and the fact that Jake was transparent with me made me feel at ease. Also, shoutout to Blake, who removed the panel to the breaker box and vacuumed out all the sawdust that was left behind, probably from when the house was built. This is a follow up review as both Jake and Blake came out to install our EV charger and when I asked how long the job could take, Jake said about 3-4 hours on average but wouldn’t you know, Jake and Blake were finished in about 2.5 hours. During the install, Jake pointed out something in our circuit breaker box that didn’t necessarily need attention but he took care of the potential issue for us, which we appreciated because he explained it could potentially be a safety concern. Overall the job was clean and there were no holes or conduit that needed to be done as other companies and contractors I contacted said that there could be a decent size hole that needed to be patched and painted or that conduit may need to be installed. Jake assured me that the hole he would make would be about an inch wide and no conduit would be needed. 10 out of 10 would recommend Mister Sparky and if you can, ask for Jake and Blake. Also, shoutout to Rita for being so communicative when setting up the initial inspection and the appointment.

I hired Mister Sparky to add and change some plugs in my master bathroom. They also change light switches and installed a ventilation fan. Johtor made sure my smart ventilation fan was working properly before he left. Johtor and the other plumbers did a great job. I called Mister Sparky today 06/10/2025 one of my lights wasn’t coming on. They fix the problem and light is working. Fast, efficient and very friendly.

The electrician was very professional and showed up on time. It didn’t take long at all. Very worth it. We are happy with the installation.
