Level 2 chargers on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, sized from a real load calculation. We tell you before we start whether your panel can take it — and what it costs if it cannot.

EV Charger Installation
Level 1 charging means plugging into a standard outlet. It works, but it adds only a few miles of range per hour, so an overnight charge might recover fifty miles. For many drivers that is genuinely not enough.
Level 2 is what most people actually want: a dedicated 240-volt circuit that recharges most vehicles fully overnight. That circuit has to be sized for the charger, and the charger has to be sized for what your panel can carry — which is why the load calculation comes first. Buying a 60-amp charger for a panel that can only spare 30 amps is a common and expensive mistake.
The honest position on cost: if your panel has spare capacity and the garage is near it, this is a straightforward half-day job. If the panel is full or the run is long, the price rises — and if you want two chargers, a load calculation is not optional.
We install any brand. Some chargers are hardwired and some plug into a 240-volt receptacle, and that choice affects both the install and whether you can take the unit with you when you move.
Assessment
The first question. If the panel has room and headroom, the job is simple; if not, a panel upgrade comes first.
Longer runs need heavier conductors and more labor. A charger on the far side of the house costs more than one beside the panel.
A 48-amp unit needs a heavier circuit than a 32-amp one. Higher output is not always worth the extra cost.
Two chargers usually need load management, and occasionally a service upgrade, depending on the calculation.
Outdoor and carport installations need weather-rated equipment and, on the coast, corrosion-rated components.
Older homes on smaller service may need the utility involved, which changes both timeline and cost.
Scope
Done before you buy, so the charger you order matches what the house can actually deliver.
Its own 240-volt circuit and breaker. Charging equipment should never share a circuit.
Hardwired or receptacle, mounted at a sensible height with the cable reaching where you park.
We pull the permit and meet the inspector, so the installation is documented for insurance and resale.
Outdoor installations have additional protection requirements that get applied properly.
We verify the circuit charging the vehicle rather than just confirming the charger powers up.
Why Total Comfort
Nearly fifty years of residential work in the same four counties, under one Florida electrical contractor license.
Florida electrical contractor license EC13003957. Every install is done to current code and inspected against it.
Nearly five decades working on Florida homes, through the storm seasons, the salt air and the grid conditions that come with them.
Homes, not commercial buildings. The failure patterns in a Florida house are what we see every day.
We find the cause before quoting the fix. Replacing a breaker that keeps tripping solves nothing if the circuit is overloaded.
You approve the scope and the price before work starts. No discovering the number at the end.
Electrical emergencies do not keep business hours. Neither does the phone.
How It Works
The same five steps on every call, from the first phone conversation through to the final code check.
Tell us what the system is doing. Symptoms matter — when it happens, what else is running, whether anything smells or feels warm.
A licensed electrician tests the circuit, panel and connections to find the actual cause rather than the visible symptom.
You get the scope and the price before any work begins, including what is required for code compliance.
The work is completed to current code, using correctly sized components for the load the home actually carries.
We test the repair under load and confirm the installation meets code before we leave.
24/7 Emergency Electrical
Burning smells, scorched or warm outlets, sparking, repeated breaker trips or a panel that is hot to the touch are signs to stop using the circuit and call an electrician. We answer around the clock.
Yes. Level 2 EV chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit and proper electrical capacity. A licensed electrician ensures the installation is safe, code-compliant, and sized correctly for your charger.
It depends on your panel's age, capacity, and existing electrical load. Our electricians evaluate your panel before installation and recommend an upgrade if additional capacity is needed.
A standard installation typically takes a few hours. If a panel upgrade is required, the project may take longer depending on the scope of the upgrade.
Yes. We install EV chargers in garages, carports, and driveways, depending on where your vehicle is parked and charged most often.
Level 1 charging uses a standard household outlet and charges slowly. Level 2 charging uses a dedicated 240-volt circuit and charges significantly faster, which is why most homeowners choose Level 2 installation.
