Choosing the Right Electric Car Charger for Your Property
There are a few different types of electric car chargers, and the best one for your home depends on your needs. The most common electric car chargers are Level 1 and 2. Level 1 chargers are the slowest but also the most affordable. These chargers can be plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet and are ideal for overnight charging.
Level 2 chargers are the most popular choice for home charging because they offer a faster charge time. These chargers require a 240-volt outlet, the same type of outlet used for a clothes dryer or electric range. Level 2 chargers can be installed indoors or outdoors, and they can be hardwired or plugged into an outlet.
Do I Need a Special Electrical Setup for an EV Charger?
In most cases, installing an electric vehicle charger in your home requires an upgrade to your electrical panel or dedicated circuit. A Level 2 charger, which is the most common for home use, typically requires 240 volts, which may require additional power to your home. Universal Electrical Services will assess your current electrical setup and make any necessary upgrades to ensure safe and efficient charging.
What are the Benefits of Installing an EV Charger at Home?
Installing an electric car charger at home offers many advantages, including convenience, cost savings, and sustainability. With a home charger, you can easily charge your vehicle overnight, avoiding the need to rely on public charging stations. Plus, you can take advantage of lower electricity rates at night, reducing overall charging costs.
For reliable EV charger installation in Chilliwack, trust Universal Electrical Services for quality, professionalism, and customer care.

Why You Need a Professional for Installation
Installing an electric car charger is not a simple task, and it is not something that you should attempt to do on your own. To install an electric car charger, you will need to have a new electrical circuit installed. This requires running new electrical wiring from your electrical panel to the location where the charger will be installed. In addition to running new wiring, you will also need to have a new electrical breaker installed in your electrical panel.
