EV charger installation in Delray Beach
We install Level 2 electric vehicle chargers for homes across Palm Beach and Broward counties from our shop in Delray Beach. Whether you already bought a charger or want a complete recommendation, the electrical side is the part we handle: load evaluation, dedicated 240V circuit, panel work if needed, permitting, and inspection.
All work is performed by licensed, insured technicians. We do not guess at your panel capacity or promise a one-size-fits-all price before seeing the site.

What we install and service
Load evaluation and panel sizing
We measure or calculate your existing electrical demand before specifying a charger circuit, so you don't overload the service.
Dedicated 240V circuits and outlets
NEMA 14-50 or hardwired circuits for Tesla, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and other Level 2 units, with proper grounding and breaker protection.
Outdoor and weather-rated installs
Garage, carport, and exterior wall installations using outdoor-rated chargers and code-compliant GFCI protection for Florida conditions.
Load management and smart chargers
Load-management devices and smart chargers that schedule charging or throttle draw when the panel is near capacity.
Charger electrical troubleshooting and repair
We evaluate the electrical side of an existing charger that won't power on, trips a breaker, or shows a ground fault. Manufacturer warranty and vehicle issues go to the manufacturer.
Permitting and inspection
We pull the electrical permit for your municipality and meet the inspector, including any required load calculations or documentation.
Surge protection and grounding review
Whole-home surge protection and grounding verification are recommended with EV charger additions, especially in South Florida lightning season.
How an EV charger installation works
- Step 1
Site and load evaluation
We inspect your panel, service size, available breaker space, and the proposed charger location, then calculate whether the existing service can handle the new load.
- Step 2
Scope and charger recommendation
You get a written scope with the charger type, circuit size, installation path, and any panel or service upgrade needed, plus plain-language trade-offs.
- Step 3
Permit and coordination
We pull the electrical permit for your municipality and schedule the inspection so the work is code-compliant and documented.
- Step 4
Installation and testing
Dedicated circuit, outlet or hardwired charger, proper grounding, GFCI protection, and a live test to confirm the unit powers and communicates correctly.
- Step 5
Inspection and walkthrough
Final inspection sign-off, a walkthrough of the charger controls and app, and documentation of the new circuit for your records.
Level 1 vs. Level 2 charging
Both charge a vehicle, but they differ in speed and installation requirements. Most homeowners installing a permanent charger choose Level 2.
| Level 1 (120V) | Level 2 (240V) | |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage | 120V — standard household outlet | 240V — same as dryer / oven |
| Typical range added per hour | 3–5 miles | 20–40 miles |
| Best for | Overnight top-ups on short commutes | Daily South Florida driving, larger batteries, and faster turnaround |
| Installation needs | Plugs into a standard outlet | Requires a dedicated 240V circuit and usually a permit/inspection |
| Cost to run | Lowest, but slowest | Higher draw, but much shorter charging time |

What we don't do
- We do not sell vehicles or handle manufacturer warranty claims on charger electronics — those stay with the manufacturer or the vehicle dealer.
- We do not quote an EV charger installation over the phone before evaluating the panel, service size, and installation path.
- We do not install non-UL-listed chargers or bypass code requirements to save time.
Saying this up front protects you: an EV charger is a high-current appliance tied directly into your service, and the electrical work must be done correctly.
Who this is for
Drivers, condo boards, and small businesses across Palm Beach County
Home charging is usually the reason people call: a new EV, a second EV, or a driver tired of Level 1 charging overnight and still leaving with a partial battery. We also install chargers for association garages and small commercial lots where the question is less about the charger and more about whether the existing service and panel capacity can carry the load. Every job starts with a load evaluation, because that determines whether you need a straightforward circuit, a load-managed install, or a service upgrade first.
Delray Beach
Older homes near Lake Ida and Swinton Avenue often have small services and detached garages or carports, so the circuit route and the panel capacity get checked before any equipment is chosen. Downtown condos need board approval for garage work.
Boynton Beach
In villa and 55+ communities, the charger location may be visible from a shared driveway, so approval comes before the permit. Attached-garage installs are usually the simplest path when the panel is in the garage.
Boca Raton
Larger homes west of I-95 often want two chargers plus pool and multi-system AC load on the same service, which is where load management or a service upgrade enters the conversation. Office and retail lots get scheduled around tenants.
