EV Charger Installation Services

We’re Hamilton electricians and experts in EV charger installations. We’ll make absolutely sure that you have the right charger for your home and vehicle, and can confidently install both level 1 and level 2 EV charging stations.

Level 1 EV Charger Installation

The standard charger from manufacturers upon vehicle purchase. Perfect for light EV users, we’ll install a standard 120-volt outlet for basic overnight charging–that’s a charging speed of approximately 8 kilometres / hour.

Level 2 EV Charger Installation

Upgrade to a 240-volt outlet for faster charging. Ideal for regular EV users needing quick and efficient home charging. As context for comparison, a Level 2 charger will average 50 kilometres of driving range per hour of charging.

Not enough panel capacity?

An EV charger adds a large load to your home, and some electrical panels are already close to full. A load management device watches your home's power use and controls how much the charger draws. Under Ontario's Electrical Safety Code, that can mean adding a charger without upgrading your electrical service. We check your panel first and tell you which option fits your home. If you do need more capacity, see our electrical panel upgrades.

"We upgraded our service from 100A to 200A, had the breaker panel moved to the other side of the house and had an EV charger installed. The process was very smooth."

Our Process for Installing Your Electric Car Charger

Our installation process starts long before we start wiring up your home. You can get ahead before contacting us or we can take care of everything.

Step 1: Book a free panel load check

Call or send us a request to book a free visit. We check whether your electrical panel has room for a charger and give you a free quote.

Step 2: Inspect your electrical

Our electrical contractors will check everything out and confirm that your electrical system is up to date and safe for the circuit breaker installation for your new EV charger.

Step 3: Purchase your EV charger

Next, choose your charger. There are quite a few options. Buy your own, or we can supply one. Give us a call if you’re unsure of what charger is best for you, and we’ll help you out.

Step 4: Get an electrical permit

This is where we step in. Ontario requires almost all electrical work to be reported to the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). We file that notification before work starts, and when the work passes, ESA issues a Certificate of Acceptance. How ESA inspections work.

Step 5: Install your EV station

One of our certified electricians will install your new EV charging station in your Hamilton home. We’ll take the time to install all electrical wiring and provide a post-installation inspection.

We install EV chargers in Hamilton, Burlington, Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown and Grimsby.

Frequently Asked Questions About EV Charger Installations

"Great service for EV charger installation. Good communication, punctuality and price."
David Dickie, Google review
Installing an EV charger at home provides convenience, cost savings, and can increase your home's property value. Oh, and the obvious–you can charge your car overnight, not in a random public charging station.
Installation normally takes between 2-4 hours but it might be longer. For instance, if you need to upgrade your electrical panel, or run a trench to your garage. But we’ll know all of that in advance because we will always pre-inspect everything.

It’s highly recommended to have a licensed electrician install your EV charger. We want you to be safe and we also want to make sure that the work meets all safety standards and codes.

ThinkEV's 2026 cost guide puts a standard Level 2 home install in Canada at $1,000 to $3,000, including the charger, labour and permit. Your price depends on the charger, the distance from your panel and whether your panel has room. For a full breakdown, see EV charger installation cost in Ontario.
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and are best used for overnight charging, taking about 12 hours for a full vehicle charge. Level 2 chargers use a 240-volt outlet and charge in 2-4 hours.
Yes. We install Tesla chargers and all other major brands, including Flo and ChargePoint. Bring your own charger, or we can supply one.
If the problem is electrical, such as the circuit, the breaker or the wiring to the charger, yes. We find the fault and fix it. A fault inside the charger itself goes to the charger's maker.

Oh, yes. That’s a great plan. Most smart chargers empower you to schedule charging times. It’s a wonderful idea to set charging during off-peak hours.

Not for a single home right now. Ontario has no provincial rebate for a home charger, and the federal ZEVIP program funds organizations, not individuals. Condo and apartment buildings can apply through ZEVIP as a building. If a program does apply to you, we will help you find it and apply. More in our guide to EV charger rebates in Ontario.
EV chargers need a dedicated line to your panel, whether we install it in your garage or anywhere else. We will always test your current electrical loads to determine if you need an electrical panel upgrade.
Yes. Before an EV charger installation can begin, a licensed electrical contractor, known as a LEC, will file a notification of work with the ESA. They will also provide you with an ESA Certificate of Acceptance. The certificate is provided once the work is complete–meaning that everything is compliant with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Our team will take care of all paperwork and permits for you.
