EV Charger Installation in Salmon Arm

A Level 2 charger at home, if the panel has room for the circuit. Call now.

A home charger is not the pedestal you see in a parking lot. It is a dedicated circuit from your panel to a unit on the garage or the outside wall. The charger manual and the spare capacity in the panel decide the breaker size. Many Level 2 installs are a 40 or 50 amp circuit. Some houses cannot take that load until the service is larger.

What we need to know

The charger model, or that you have not bought one yet.
Where the car parks, and how far that is from the panel.
The main breaker size, if you can read it without opening the cover.
Other large loads: a hot tub, a suite, a shop, or a range on the same panel.

The cost table lists a typical range for the circuit. The charger itself is extra. A long run through a finished house, or apanel upgrade because the service is full, is priced on its own. This work generally needs a permit. Technical Safety BC oversees it, and we pull the permit when the job requires one.

A photo of the closed panel and a photo of the parking spot are enough to start the conversation. We confirm the price before we start.
