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) 937-8927. 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.

Andrew Wood

I've had Mr. Sparky do a good bit of exterior work for me - including laying 60 feet of buried service line to my main panel. The main things I will say is that the finished product has always been of the highest quality and all of the employees have been a pleasure to work with. In all of my experiences, the teams have been knowledgeable, they get to work fast, are happy to explain details and offer advice and yes, they will even help you think through your prices and some packaged deals that earn a discount. On that last point, I do feel that Mr. Sparky will not be your cheapest option, but again, the quality is fantastic and a licensed electrician and warrantied work is just expensive any way you look at it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience with Mr. Sparky and would use them again and recommend them to others.

I had a fantastic experience with Mr. Sparky Electrical Services here in Houston. From the moment I called, their team was responsive, professional, and courteous. The technician Thomas arrived right on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the work efficiently and neatly. I really appreciated how respectful they were of my home and how they made sure everything was cleaned up afterward. It's rare to find a company that combines quality work with great customer service, but Mr. Sparky absolutely delivered. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them for any electrical needs.

Carlazeli Garcia

I contacted Mr. Sparky after previously contacting another reputable electric company who could not solve my problem. David found the root of my electrical problem in no time and did a thorough job. I highly recommend him! He’s very personable!

Chelsea Corona

Joshua did an amazing job diagnosing and fixing an electrical issue we were having. Came out and got it fixed the same day we called. The company’s communication was fantastic and very transparent with pricing. Overall, great experience and highly recommend.

Lou DePadova

I contacted Mr. Sparky on Friday and was set up with an appointment on Monday. There were email and text messages to confirm the Appointment and contact from the owner. I was called when the technician was on the way. Christian did an excellent job of inspecting our equipment and we talked through all of our options. He was polite and very thorough. I was impressed with Mr. Sparky and Christian in particular.
