Electric Vehicle Charging Installation in Denver | Hometown Electrical Services
Denver EV Charging Station Installation for Homes & Businesses
As EV ownership grows, homeowners are turning to home charging solutions and EV charger installations in Denver. Hometown Electrical Services Inc. installs safe, efficient residential EV chargers, providing expert guidance and reliable service, for convenient charging right at home.
Why Install a Home EV Charger?
Charging your EV at home brings unmatched convenience and cost savings. Instead of depending on public stations or waiting in line, you can recharge overnight and wake up to a fully powered vehicle every morning. Residential EV chargers also improve energy efficiency, increase your home’s value, and reduce the wear on your vehicle’s battery through consistent charging.
Types of EV Chargers for Your Home
Understanding the different types of EV chargers is key to choosing the right one for your setup:
- Level 1 Chargers: These use a standard 120V outlet and offer a slow but steady charge, adding roughly 4–5 miles of range per hour. They’re best for hybrid EVs or drivers with short daily commutes.
- Level 2 Chargers: Operating on a 240V outlet, Level 2 chargers provide 20–30 miles of range per hour. They are the most popular option for homeowners and require professional installation.
- DC Fast Chargers: These are high-powered units typically used in commercial settings. They can charge an EV up to 80% in less than an hour, but are rarely used in residential installations due to cost and power requirements.
Selecting the Right EV Charger for Your Vehicle
Different EV models have varying charging capacities. Our team evaluates your vehicle’s compatibility, your home’s existing electrical setup, and your driving habits to help you choose the most suitable charger. Whether you’re driving a Tesla, Chevy Bolt, Ford Mustang Mach-E, or another model, we’ll recommend a charger that optimizes charging speed, energy use, and safety.
Safety and Code Compliance
Safety is our top priority. EV charger installations must meet strict local and national electrical codes. Our licensed electricians follow all NEC (National Electrical Code) standards, ensuring that your installation is grounded properly, protected from overload, and equipped with GFCI safety devices as required. We handle everything from load calculations to surge protection so your system runs reliably and safely.
Do You Need an Electric Panel Upgrade?
Many older homes in Denver may not have electrical panels that can handle the added load of a Level 2 EV charger. If that’s the case, we’ll assess your system and recommend a panel upgrade if needed. Upgrading your panel not only supports your charger but also prepares your home for future energy needs, such as solar power, electric water heaters, or more appliances.
Permits and Local Denver Requirements
Denver requires a permit for residential EV charger installations, and it must be completed by a licensed electrician. Hometown Electrical Services Inc. handles the permitting process for you from start to finish. We stay updated with the latest local codes and regulations to ensure full compliance with city requirements and utility company standards.
