Is Your Home Actually Ready for an EV Charger?
Most homeowners assume installing an EV charger is simple — until they realize a standard outlet can take over 30 hours to charge a vehicle. A Level 2 charger fixes that, but it requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and enough panel capacity to support it. In many homes, especially with older or fully loaded panels, that capacity isn’t there without an upgrade.
We Handle the Electrical Side the Right Way
Before we quote the job, we evaluate your panel’s load, breaker space, and service size so you know exactly what’s required upfront. We install the dedicated circuit, pull permits, and handle inspections, completing everything from start to finish across homes and commercial properties throughout the area.

What Our EV Charger Installation Include
Here is exactly what Rosa Electric handles when you book an EV charger installation.
Panel Capacity Evaluation
We check your existing service panel for available capacity and open slots before we quote anything, so you know whether your current service can support the new circuit or whether a panel upgrade needs to happen first.
Dedicated 240-Volt Circuit
Every EV charger gets its own dedicated circuit sized to match the charger's amperage requirements — typically a 50-amp circuit for a 48-amp Level 2 charger — run from your panel to the installation location.
Conduit and Wiring
We run the wiring in conduit where code requires it or where it protects the wire from damage — along garage walls, through unfinished basement ceilings, or exterior-rated for outside runs — done clean and done to last.
Charger Mounting and Connection
We mount the charger unit at the height and location that works for your vehicle and your parking setup, make the final connections, and verify the unit is pulling the correct voltage and amperage before we leave.
Permit Pulling and Inspection Coordination
We pull the electrical permit with the town — Vernon, Manchester, South Windsor, wherever the job is — and schedule the inspection so the work is code-compliant and on record with the municipality.
One-Year Material Warranty
All materials we supply on the job carry a one-year warranty, and we stand behind our work — if something we installed isn't right, we make it right.
Why an EV Charger Installation Done Right Makes a Difference
A charger that works on day one isn't the only thing that matters — here's what separates a proper installation from one that causes problems later.
Correct Circuit Sizing
An undersized circuit overheats under EV charging load, wearing out wiring and breakers — it needs to be sized for the charger’s actual amperage, not just an open slot.
Permitted Work Protects Your Home Sale
Unpermitted electrical work can cause problems during a sale — inspections flag it, buyers hesitate, and you may need to fix it or renegotiate.
Panel Evaluation Before You Commit
Installing a charger on an overloaded panel leads to tripping or worse — knowing your panel’s capacity upfront keeps everything running safely.
Clean Installation Lasts
Properly run and secured conduit lasts for years — quick, sloppy installs don’t hold up, especially in garages exposed to harsh winters.

Our EV Charger Installation FAQs
Do I need a panel upgrade before you can install an EV charger?
Not always, but we won't know until we look at your panel. A lot of homes in Tolland County are still running 100-amp service, and if your panel is already carrying a full load — electric dryer, AC, electric water heater, electric range — there may not be enough headroom to add a 50-amp EV circuit without tripping breakers constantly or creating a safety issue. We evaluate the panel before we quote the job, so you know going in whether the charger alone does it or whether you need a service upgrade first. If you do need an upgrade, we quote both together so there are no surprises.
What kind of EV charger do you install, and does it matter what car I have?
We install Level 2 hardwired chargers and NEMA 14-50 outlet setups — the electrical work is the same either way. The charger unit itself is mostly your choice based on your vehicle and your preferences. Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, Enel X JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, whatever you decide on — we handle the circuit and the installation. The car brand doesn't affect the electrical work. What matters on our end is the circuit amperage your charger requires, which we confirm before we run any wire.
How long does an EV charger installation take, and how soon can you schedule it?
For a straightforward residential install — panel has capacity, charger location is in the garage near the panel — we can typically complete the work in a few hours in a single visit. If there's conduit work involved, a longer wire run, or a panel upgrade happening at the same time, it takes longer and we'll tell you upfront. Most estimates are ready within a week of our site visit. Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work and pull the permit. Call Tracy at 860-872-2366 and we'll get something on the calendar.
Do you pull the permit for EV charger installations, and do I need to be home for the inspection?
Yes, we pull the permit — that's part of what we do, not an add-on. The permit fee is included in your estimate upfront. For the inspection, the electrical inspector typically needs access to the panel and the charger installation, so someone does need to be available. We coordinate the inspection timing with the town and let you know what to expect. Rosa Electric is licensed in Connecticut under License #E1-0184929, and our work is inspected and on record — that matters for your homeowner's insurance and for future buyers when you sell.
