In Colorado, housing includes a mix of older homes in established areas and newer constructions in rapidly developing communities. Older homes may have electrical panels with limited capacity, often requiring upgrades before an EV charger can be installed safely. Newer homes generally have more capacity, but a dedicated circuit is still essential for optimal charging. Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your home's electrical system to determine the most effective installation plan. We consider the significant temperature fluctuations and potential for heavy snow, selecting durable equipment rated for these conditions.
We manage the permitting and inspection processes, which differ by municipality within Colorado. Our team ensures all installations adhere to current electrical codes. The cold winters and potential for high winds mean we select robust mounting solutions and protective conduit. Our step-by-step approach ensures you are informed throughout the process, from the initial site evaluation and consultation to the final testing of your EV charger, providing a clear understanding of each stage.
