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.

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.
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 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 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.
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:
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.

Definitely five star service! Matt Armstrong with Mr Sparky came to check out some electrical issues I was having with appliances. It turns out one of my breakers was partly burned up and my 40-year-old panel box needed replaced. He did what was needed to make everything safe for the night and came back the next morning to replace the panel box. Matt was very personable, kind and capable. I also wanted him to install a flood light on my shed, but I bought one without a motion sensor by mistake. I ordered the right one from Lowe's but couldn't go pick it up since I had three other guys in my house as well, working on my bathroom tile. So Matt offered to come back in 2 days and install that at no extra charge for that visit. I've used this company before and they have always done a great job! Their prices seem a good deal lower than other companies, too. I trust them, as I do Matt, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. In fact, my sister asked me for their contact information, and I'll be recommending them to others.

We recently had a new washer/dryer delivered from a local appliance store. The 240-volt outlet sparked when I plugged-in the dryer, and then the dryer didn’t seem to be getting any power. I called Mr. Sparky and they sent Robert Owen to figure out what was going on. I instantly recognized Robert from a previous visit, so I knew before he even stepped in the house that he would be able to diagnose and resolve the situation quickly. Robert first found that the dryer’s circuit breaker had been blown. After installing the new breaker, he knew that something still wasn’t right. He asked me if I had installed the dryer’s power cord myself. The delivery team from the appliance store (let’s call it “West Coast Appliance”) had verified that I needed a 4-prong plug and installed the power cord before they brought it into the house. I told Robert he was welcome to remove the access panel from the back of the dryer to check the power cord connection. He found the problem as soon as he removed the cover – the delivery team had attached the ground to the wrong terminal. I guess that blowing the circuit breaker was the least amount of damage that this incompetence could have caused. It could have also blown the dryer’s motor or even started a fire. Robert re-wired the power cord properly, tightened the vent hose connections, and then helped me push the dryer back against the wall. A little about his last visit back in the summer – I was prepared to spend a couple thousand dollars on a dedicated circuit in the kitchen, but Robert made a couple of adjustments, told me what I needed to do to ensure the circuit wasn’t overloaded, and saved me a lot of money. Robert is a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond what the job requires. I will everything I can do for him to maintain his 5-star rating. This is my official request to Mr. Sparky to make Robert my preferred technician. I know I will ask for him by name anytime I need electrician support! Thank you, Robert!
