Not always. It depends on your current panel capacity. We assess this during the estimate visit at no charge. Many homes in Massachusetts have enough capacity for a Level 2 charger without a full panel upgrade.

Most residential Level 2 EV charger installations are completed in 2 to 4 hours. If a panel upgrade or additional circuit work is needed, it may take a full day.

Yes. We install NEMA-rated outdoor-rated equipment with proper weatherproofing and GFCI protection, compliant with Massachusetts electrical code for exterior installations.

You file IRS Form 8911 with your federal tax return. We provide all necessary documentation — permit records and itemized installation receipt — to support your claim. Consult your tax advisor for the specifics of your situation.

No. A general home inspector provides a surface-level overview. We are licensed electricians — we go deeper: we open the panel, identify wiring types, test individual circuits and check for code compliance at a technical level. Our report is far more detailed.

Many insurance companies request an electrical inspection report for older homes — especially those with knob-and-tube wiring. Our written report can satisfy most insurer requirements. Check with your insurer for their specific documentation needs.
