Not recommended for most EV owners.
Professional installation required. This is what Unity Power & Light specializes in.
EV chargers draw 30-50 amps continuously for hours. Improper installation can overheat wiring, trip breakers, or create fire hazards. We size circuits correctly and use proper materials.
National Electrical Code requires dedicated circuits, proper gauge wiring, and GFCI protection for EV chargers. We pull permits when required and ensure inspections pass.
Most EV charger manufacturers require professional installation for warranty coverage. DIY installation voids your warranty and may void your vehicle's electrical warranty.
We assess your electrical panel capacity before installation. If your panel can't handle the additional load, we'll recommend a panel upgrade to support safe EV charging.
We visit your property to evaluate the best charger location, measure distance from your electrical panel, and assess installation requirements. Indoor garage, outdoor driveway, or detached garage - we handle all scenarios.
We verify your electrical panel has available capacity for the EV charger circuit. Most Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 40A or 50A breaker. If your panel is at capacity, we'll quote a panel upgrade.
We install a dedicated 240V circuit with 50A or 60A capacity, using 6 AWG or 4 AWG copper wire. All installations include proper GFCI protection, weatherproof enclosures for outdoor installations, and secure charger mounting.
After installation, we test the circuit for proper voltage, grounding, and GFCI operation. We demonstrate how to use your new charger and answer all your questions.
Unity Power & Light installs all major EV charger brands. We can install the charger you purchase, or we can recommend the best charger for your vehicle and budget.
Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240V circuit, typically 40A-60A depending on charger specifications. We install circuits sized 25% above charger rating per NEC requirements.
We use 6 AWG copper wire for 40-50A circuits, or 4 AWG copper for 60A circuits. All wiring run in conduit for protection, with proper grounding throughout.
National Electrical Code requires GFCI protection for EV charger circuits. We install GFCI breakers or GFCI outlets depending on charger specifications and local code.
Chargers can be installed in attached garages, detached garages (underground conduit required), carports, or outdoor driveway locations with weather-rated equipment.
Most common and cost-effective. Short wire run from panel to garage wall. Charger mounted on interior wall near where you park. Clean installation with minimal exposed conduit.
Requires underground conduit. We run conduit from main panel to detached garage, buried underground per code requirements. Additional cost for trenching and conduit materials.
Weather-rated installation required. Charger mounted on exterior-rated post or wall with weather-resistant enclosure. NEMA 3R or 4 rated for outdoor use.
Installation costs vary based on several factors. Unity Power & Light provides flat-rate quotes after evaluating your specific installation requirements.
Flat-Rate Pricing: We provide exact pricing before we start work. No hourly billing, no surprise charges. You'll know the total cost upfront.
Level 2 chargers use the universal J1772 connector standard, compatible with all electric vehicles sold in North America except older Teslas. Tesla vehicles come with a J1772 adapter, or we can install a Tesla Wall Connector specifically for Tesla vehicles.
Legally, no - South Carolina law requires licensed electricians to install 240V circuits. Practically, DIY installation is dangerous and voids manufacturer warranties. EV chargers draw continuous high amperage loads that require proper circuit sizing, GFCI protection, and code-compliant installation.
Most modern 200A panels have available capacity for a 40A or 50A EV charger circuit. We perform a load calculation during our site assessment. If your panel is at capacity or you have an older 100A panel, we'll recommend a panel upgrade to safely support EV charging.
Yes - we install outdoor EV chargers regularly. Outdoor installations require weather-rated chargers (NEMA 3R or 4), weather-resistant conduit, and proper mounting on a post or exterior wall. All EV chargers we install are designed for outdoor use when properly installed.
