Description

Mastering the installs of all electric vehicles chargers from E to V! Save your electrical panel from serious issues. Ev charging is growing at fast rate and new to the electrical code book. Sadly, Ev installs are the leading cause of panel and breaker failure. A simple install to code is failing many times due the extreme heat a charging system can run at. Being in the electric service and repair side in the past, we ran into many melted breaker boxes, breakers and wires. Ev charging runs longer and warmer than any home appliance causing even new panels and breakers to fail and melt. Experienced service/repair electricians and even sdg&e are aware of the new on going issues Ev systems are causing. Heat distribution, proper wire size, proper material, proper Ev outlets (not the cheaply built homedepot outlet), proper breaker placement, physical breaker size, choosing amperage accordingly to your home and more… Pay the experienced, Licensed, Insured, Bonded Ev only electrician to get the job done right the first time. Yes we can do it all from electrical upgrades, panels, rewires, repairs and install but our focus is Ev charging only. We keep stock trucks with Ev charging supplies ready. Call or email us today for a proper Ev install at a reasonable rate. Simplicity, safety, experience and warrantied work. Lic # 1060425 Insured/Bonded.

Edward is a professional guy to work with! I was in the middle of a move down here to PB, but he was so responsive and honest with what amp I should have based on the panel to not cause problems down the road. He was able to set up an appointment and install within a weeks time.

He even followed up with me which I highly appreciate, but I had gone on vacation and had to wait for a 14-30 adapter since I didn't have one so wasn't actually able to use the charger port until 2 weeks after the install, so I let him know if I needed any assistance when I get back, I would contact him. Unfortunately when I did get back, the adapter would not fit in the socket.

He came back within a few days and assessed the problem and had it fixed very quickly. Highly recommend!

My previous 40A charger was not working. I bought a new tesla 48A charger to replace the old one, and I called several electricians for installation. One of them didn't want to do the work because he thought it would be a lot of work, and most of them didn't even answer the call.

Ed answered the call and stopped by the next day. It turns out the previous electrician used inappropriate wires and circuit breaker, and the circuit breaker was failing.

Ed replaced the old wire and the circuit breaker with newer ones that can support the higher current, and installed the new charger fairly quickly. Ed diagnosed the problem, completed the job, and cleaned up afterwards within an hour. Thanks to Ed, now I can charge my car at home worry-free.

Clearly, Ed has done this type of work numerous times, and I recommend if you need help installing a new charger for your electric vehicle.

Edward from EV installs showed up to fix a poor install from a previous contractor. He was able to get my Tesla charger installed and set up the way it was intended. He also fixed a couple outlets that went bad in my home. He was on time, courteous and professional. I'm so glad I found a dependable electrician in San Diego!

I recently had my existing EV charger removed and replaced with a newer machine. My previous installation which required a receptacle showed considerable wear and tear and needed an upgrade. Edward diagnose the issue as a loose connection but more importantly pointed out that through no fault of the previous installer, EV chargers are best with their hardwired due to the heavy usage with expansion from heat/cooling through the connection. Throughout the installation, Edward was very thorough, provided detail and walk me through the entire installation. The work was and results are super, check out my pictures of the existing receptacle in my newly installed EV charger; highly recommended!

I had a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed for my new Tesla Model 3. The quote for the job was competitive - which included running a line from my outside power box to the garage & changing out some of my old main breakers. I also expressed that I wanted a Hubbell 14-50 outlet & Edward provided great customer service by offering to source one out & swap out the outlets when it came in. Overall, it has been a very positive experience! The install looks great & has been working great. Edward is extremely responsive & professional.

I've had two EVs for almost 10 years and recently bought a third one.

I was reading an article that many NEMA 14-50 plug installs are not adequate for the continuous nightly draw we EV owners place on them and called Edward.
Edward knew exactly what I was talking about and my concerns since his primary Business is EV charging installation.

He was very accommodating, making time in his schedule to come out and look at my previous installation.
He was reasonable, noting that one of my plugs was installed well, and we just replaced the actual socket for a better one at a nominal fee.

As for my second NEMA 14-50 socket, I was shocked to find that indeed it had started to melt and needed to be replaced.
We decided to place a dedicated charger for my second vehicle, and I found his pricing very reasonable.

I would highly recommend that everyone who has an electric vehicle, makes sure that their install was done properly and not with inexpensive parts meant to be used an hour or two a week. EVs put a huge work load on the wiring and sockets and a bad install is highly likely to fail from heat and arcing leading to
a risk of fire.

If you think of all the money you pay for house insurance, calling Edward out is a small amount of money for peace of mind.

EV installs was great. I was provided a rough estimate over the phone for the installation of a Tesla charger in my garage to replace a standard nema charger. When he arrived, he opened up everything in front of me (explained all he saw) and unfortunately found many shortcuts in the original install. He identified lack of ground, incorrect gauge being used etc which was the cause of over heating at the outlet. The price did increase for the change of original scope but I was very happy to have the job done correctly. I recommend EV installs for your car charging needs as they are timely, professional and very detailed in the work performed.

Thank you very much for making this outlet safe for my family.

EV Installs SD is a must for installing your EV charger. I urgently needed a Tesla charger installed ASAP since my car was delivered a month early. They came two days later on a Sunday morning and surpassed my expectations. They went over and above by installing a higher than needed amps. This would accommodate future needs of a longer range car or multiple EV cars. My sister recently used this company for her EV charger install and had a great experience as well. Thanks Edward!

Called EV Installs for a NEMA 14-50 outlet installation for my electric vehicle level 2 charger which I already had. Edward was very professional, texted a day ahead and the morning of, to let me know he was coming. He showed up promptly on time and was very quick/efficient with the install, and cleaned up after the job. The outlet is working perfectly. I would definitely use Edward's services again.

A+++++ total experience. From the first contact with Edward to evaluating my situation with multiple pictures to actually coming over and doing the install, Edward was extremely professional and very friendly. Within days of getting my EV, Edward fit me into his schedule and did the install. Will definitely go back to Edward for future needs.

I was a little scared at first reaching out to get a Ev charger installed since my home is an older house, but Edward explained to me a variety of options to work with! Ended up having my panel upgraded and a Tesla level 2 charger installed with EV installs and the process couldn't have been more swift! Straight forward reasonable price, and took care of the process from start to finish! Thanks Edward!

Edward was great! I called him and he was able to give me a quote and get the install done on the same day after moving his schedule around. He did a great job and made sure it was all setup and working before he left! Had no issues whatsoever! Thanks a ton Edward! Installed the ChargePoint Home Flex for a Porsche Taycan

Edward was very helpful and got to our project very promptly. We are expecting to receive our EV next month and needed to prepare for charging. There are some things you need to know when installing level-2 charging capability. We recommend, especially for EV charging, to use a specialist like EV Installs. Highly recommend!
