EV charger installation

Charging an electric vehicle at home comes down to having the right circuit and enough capacity on your panel. Brightline Electric installs EV chargers for homeowners in Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, and Hilliard, matching the equipment to what your electrical system can actually handle.

Not every home is set up the same way, so we start by looking at your breaker panel and current load before recommending a charger location. Some homes have enough room on a 200-amp service to add a dedicated circuit without much trouble. Others need panel work done first. Either way, we walk you through what your home needs before any equipment goes in the wall.

Installation includes running a dedicated circuit to the charger location, whether that is a garage, carport, or driveway, and making sure the connection meets current code. Permits are pulled when required, and GFCI protection is included where the installation calls for it. We also check for surge protection on the circuit, since EV chargers draw a steady, heavy load. Once it is in, we test it under load before calling the job done.
