New York's housing stock, especially in areas like Rochester, includes a mix of older homes with potentially established electrical systems and newer constructions. Older homes may require electrical panel upgrades or the addition of new circuits to safely support a Level 2 charger. We conduct a thorough assessment of your home's existing electrical capacity.
Our installation process begins with a detailed site evaluation to identify any unique structural or electrical considerations of your property. This is followed by the physical installation of the EV charger and any necessary electrical modifications, ensuring full compliance with New York state and local building codes. The climate here also means we prioritize the use of robust, weather-resistant components for long-term reliability.
