What a professional installation includes

The work starts with a load calculation and a route survey, not with drilling. We confirm the service can carry the load, agree on a charger position that makes plugging in effortless, then run a dedicated circuit with correctly sized conductors and protection, mount the unit, configure it to match the breaker and test it under load.

You also receive the ESA notification, so the circuit is documented for insurance and for the eventual sale of the house.

  • Load calculation to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code
  • Dedicated 240V charging circuit
  • Indoor, outdoor or detached-garage mounting
  • Charger commissioning, app setup and testing
  • ESA notification and inspection
  • Workmanship you can see behind the cover plate

Don't buy the wrong charger

Before you order, confirm four things: the connector your vehicle uses, the amperage your car can actually accept on AC, whether the unit is rated for outdoor use if it will live outside, and the cable length you need to reach the charge port from the mounting point. A 48-amp charger on a car that accepts 32 amps charges no faster — but it can force a heavier circuit and sometimes a panel upgrade.

Send us your shortlist before you buy. Five minutes of advice regularly saves several hundred dollars of unnecessary electrical work.

Panel upgrades and load management

When the load calculation is tight there are three paths: lower the charger's output to fit the available capacity, install an approved energy-management device that lets the charger share a circuit with a large existing load, or upgrade the service. We price the options side by side instead of defaulting to the largest one.

Most 100-amp homes can charge overnight without a service upgrade. The exceptions are usually homes already running electric heat, a hot tub and an electric range.

Overnight charging in real numbers

A 32-amp Level 2 charger delivers roughly 35–45 km of range per hour. Plugged in from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., that is well over 400 km added overnight — more than most Ontario drivers use in a week. This is why charger speed is rarely the constraint, and why paying for a larger circuit seldom changes daily life.

Common questions

Home EV charger installation: common questions

How much does a home EV charger installation cost?

Most homes land between $1,200 and $2,500 for a Level 2 charger on a dedicated circuit, including permit and ESA notification. The variables are the distance from the panel to the charger, whether the run passes through finished walls, the amperage of the charger and whether your service has spare capacity.

How long does a residential install take?

A charger mounted near the panel is normally finished in a single visit of a few hours. Long concealed runs, outdoor routes, detached garages and service upgrades take longer and are scheduled accordingly.

Do I need a 48-amp charger?

Rarely. A 32-amp charger adds roughly 35–45 km of range per hour, which is over 400 km across an overnight charge. A 48-amp unit needs a 60-amp circuit and more often triggers a panel upgrade, without changing how full the car is in the morning.

Can I buy my own charger and have you install it?

Yes, and we're happy to review your shortlist first. The unit has to be certified for use in Canada, suited to indoor or outdoor mounting where it will live, and matched to the connector and AC charging rate your vehicle actually accepts.

Will the installation be visible inside my garage?

We agree on the route and charger position with you before drilling. Runs are kept tight to framing or in conduit, cable is secured properly, and the charger is mounted at a height that keeps the cable off the floor and reaches your charge port without stretching across the car.

Do you handle the ESA paperwork?

Yes. The work is notified to the Electrical Safety Authority under Breton Electrical Inc., ECRA/ESA licence #7018356, and inspected. You keep the record, which matters for insurance and when you sell the home.
