I really appreciate your guy coming here to take care of my furnace. He was kind, helpful, and took care of the problem in a short amount of time. I would recommend your services to any. Thank you so much!

We had to replace an outdated heating system. Jordan, Travis and Dillion were awesome. Great customer service. They also helped us get a rebate through our power company. Highly recommended.

Competent. Priced fairly. Professional. Can't say enough good about these guys.

Jordan and crew fixed my mini-split leak quickly and got me running again before summer hits. They were professional and communicated well. Their pricing was very competitive - nearly 1/3 the cost that one of their competitors quoted me for the same repair. Would definitely call them back for future work!

Minuteman Services are very efficient, explained what the job entailed and completed it well. Appreciated timely service, knowledge and efficiency!

Called on a late Saturday and got an immediate response from Shane. He helped me trouble shoot and saved me big money, fixed our eletrical problem. Cannot say thank you enough!!!

Our furnace went out, and Travis and the team were able to quickly get over and give us an estimate on a repair and a replacement. (As a courtesy, they even have a lock box with space heaters if you need to get through a night or two without heat.) We ended up not only replacing the furnace, but adding central air as well. They were able to get it done in 2 days, and the system is super quiet and distributes the heat and A/C really nicely. They even added an outlet to the outside of the house, which is great because we didn't have any before! There was a small issue about where the furnace was venting out. We have an enclosed deck, and it was just venting out onto the deck. Despite not being in the bid, they routed the vent out to the side so that we wouldn't be breathing in any more exhaust/CO! However, it didn't look as clean as it could be the first time they did it, and we had some suggestions to make it look better that Travis fully supported and said that they would take care of (even though it was like an additional project in the first place). They redid it with a good attitude, and it looks really clean now! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Minuteman! Even got this nice red hoodie as an appreciation gift 😀

Excellent Service Top Notch Service Jason And Dillon And Crew Very Experienced A Jop Well Done Thank You All So Very Much. Brian Ruth Kidder

We had Minuteman retrofit our main ductwork to make the air distribution more efficient and eliminate "hot spots." The crew was professional and efficient. I'm very pleased with their work. I recommend them without reservation!

You guys were great. Best customer service I've had in a while always returned your calls and worked with you as far as financing and did a great job in a timely manner would 100% recommend them.

Minuteman lives up to their name! Called before they showed up, arrived on time and provided an same-day estimate for a furnace replacement. Again, called and showed up on time on the day of the replacement, and finished within the promised time. Talked through the operation/maintenance of the new unit and maintenance plans and made sure all questions were answered. ...and the price could not be beat (less than half of some others!) I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

Quick to respond and very reasonable and thorough. I've had them do a few things and they've done it with great quality.

My furnace went out while it was -5° outside and Minuteman was able to be there quickly and get it running fast! Other companies that have looked at my furnace in the past have said it’s past its life expectancy and that I need replace it, but Minuteman took the time to make repairs and explain proper maintenance to try to get more life out of my older furnace! They never once mentioned a replacement.

This company provided incredible service. They came to our home quickly to inspect our furance, which in the end did need replaced. The employee who came to our home was so helpful and informative with each step of the process. The next day, employees came to install the new furnace and worked diligently and thoroughly. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing furance/HVAC needs. I will definitely be a return customer.

Travis was excellent in finding out what was wrong with a furnace he was checking out for me! I would use Minuteman anytime! They are great people.

My daughter’s cadet heater stopped working after smoking and they came same day to diagnose and replace the unit. Thank you for caring for our family in a timely manner!

Jason and Trevor were very friendly and knowledgeable in replacing our furnace. Highly recommended.

Minuteman Services go the extra mile to do all they can to help! Jarrod and Travis were fantastic! They were very efficient and quick to come out to fix the problem. I highly recommend these guys. They know what they're doing. Thank you!

What an amazing team of people! They work so hard to take care of their clients. They got my furnace replaced quickly so that I could keep myself and my dogs warm in the middle winter. Thank you!

The guys at Minute Man are the best. Very professional and knowledgeable I highly recommend them.

I was tight for time and they scheduled me in. Huge help. And the tech they sent was professional, personable and quick. These folks get the nod for all HVAC related work in the future.

Our whole family in the area uses Minuteman Services! From electrical work to HVAC work. We just had them install two brand new heating systems on Dec 12 & 13th 2024. The AC systems will be installed in the spring. Very professional and willing to answer all my questions. Their workers were very respectful of the house when they did the install putting down floor protectant and cleaning up everything.

I was very pleased with the thorough evaluation and repair that Travis provided. In the future, I will contact your company and request Travis. Thank you!

They were very helpful, explained the wiring problems and went above and beyond in getting the parts we needed. They were polite, respectful of our home, and diligently cleaned up after their work. I appreciated very all their hard work.

They did an excellent job in diagnosing and repairing the two issues we had. They were courteous and tidy during their visit. I would definately use them again.

Timely and professional. Stayed to get the job done during the holidays. Would recommend.

All the guys at minute man services did a great job at our place. we were impressed with thier professional job they did for us. They all were courteous and punctual. They cleaned up too!! I would recommend then highly. Thank you again.

They service anything from small jobs to big jobs. Extremely hard to find a company that will do a small electrical job. These guys do it all. Fast,friendly service for a reasonable price. Highly recommend this company for your electrical needs and service 👏.

I was having an issue with a breaker and these folks did a great job fixing it. Ted pinpointed the problem and Shane and crew came out and fixed it. I highly recommend this company!

We were very impressed in the timely manner that Minuteman serviced our furnace! They were very helpful and answered all of our questions. We will be calling them again!

Great service, did exactly what they said they would do and got the new furnace installed.

Ted did some electrical work for us, was super responsive on the phone and helped me trouble shoot multiple issues that were 100% my ignorance not any fault of the work he did. He also made some thoughtful suggestions to improve the ideas we had. Update Dec 2024: I needed electrical work done on a new home after moving and Minuteman came through again! They were on time, had good ideas to help me get all the outlets i needed and were diligent about making sure I had everything done to my satisfaction. Great crew. Great service.

These guys always do great work and respond right away. Highly recommend for all HVAC needs

Great company. Travis communicated well, showed up when he said he would, offered a timely appointment and options to proactively care for my equipment going forward. That was a painless service call- broken heater experience! Thank you.

Minuteman's electricians are awesome. I needed help with some breakers that were constantly flipping. They were able to quickly identify the issue and gave me several options on what to do. Their bid was in range of what I would expect that kind of repair to take. They were very professional, on time, and patient with all my questions so I can be a better informed homeowner. 5/5. I highly recommend them!

Fast. Good work. Great prices. They are great to work with. Highly recommend

This Crew did an amazing job that came through and did what they needed to do showed me after what they did and cleaned up everything after themselves and sat and explained and had asked us if we had any questions or if we need anything

Justin and Jarod ROCK!!...AND TRAVIS 😉 Sorry Travis, for some reason I keep mistaking you for a Justin. Travis, ROCKS!!! It is so good to have our furnace up and running again. Great work and fair price. Will be wanting a complete furnace upgrade through Minuteman. Cannot say enough positive things about this company.

Jarrod was the absolute best. He came and fixed our issue with our heat. He was fast and he did an amazing just. 10/10 service. Ask for Jarrod he did the best service and was professional.

Very responsive and gave me great customer service! They were able to get out there the same day and fix my furnace. Highly recommend 👍

We used Minuteman Services to do an annual service on the HVAC system in our office. They were very easy to work with and did a great job. Their fees were not exorbitant either! They didn't waste time, explained things to me and offered to set up a maintenance plan for winter and summer. I would highly recommend them for both home and office HVAC needs.

Minuteman was great. Very responsive and flexible, timely delivery, made the whole swap-out a complete breeze. Highly recommend.

My main reason for replacing my old HVAC system is to save money on my high electrical bill. Minute Man Service did an outstanding job replacing my 20 year old HVAC system and replaced it with a more efficient HVAC system that includes a 2 stage a/c & thermostat. Jarrod Mount was the tech who removed the old system and installed the new system. Jarrod was also the person who came to my house and submitted the bid I could not reject because of the very reasonable price. I therefore give Minuteman Services my highest recommendation.

This is best I've worked with. Affordable, knowledgeable, friendly and professional! I will definitely call on them again. Thank you guys.

Ted and his crew came on time, established their plan of action, ran wiring through the crawlspace to exterior conduit and heat cables on the roof, ensured they left no trash or tracks in spite of the rain and carefully explained how to use the system before they left. A superb job by a group of professionals!

Great service. Friendly, detail oriented and very professional. A great company for your electrical needs. I will use this company again and again.

I had the best experience with Jarrod, Shane and the Minuteman Services crew. They were honest, reliable & professional to work with. They installed a cadet heater, sub panel, washer & dryer plugs as well as interior and exterior lights in our Shed. They even helped me choose the fixtures which I appreciated! They completed the entire job within one day making sure they did not interrupt our renters at our Cabin which was very thoughtful. Can't wait to work with them again!

Very prompt service, extremely knowledgeable staff and courteous interaction.

Travis was very polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. He explained Contracts for service and we were pleased with no hidden costs. We’re confident we’ll get what we pay for.

Minuteman services was amazing! They provided a quote for my furnace replacement, answered all of my questions, and provided wonderful communication. The day they installed my new furnace, they were very kind and did a great job. If you need a new furnace, this is the service to use! Thank you Minuteman Services!

My husband and I just opened a new business, and needed some last minute electrical work done before we could open. Minute Man was able to get there very quickly and help us with what we needed for a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them!

We used them for an electrical problem in a mobile home. They were very quick on finding the problem and getting it fixed. Price was very fair! Highly recommend them!

Minuteman services did a fantastic job installing the electrical in our basement. They were quick to respond and schedule us. The communication was great as well during the install. We were never left wondering if or when something would be done. They gave clear timelines and stuck to them. The company was very honest and reasonable.

Ted and Shane did excellent work upsizing my electrical panel and connecting the heat tape for my gutters. They are both easy to talk to and very professional. I highly recommend their work to anyone.

Always an excellent job. These guys are professionals and know what they are doing. And we can always count on them.

Great experience with this company. First of all honesty and integrity, I appreciated his friendliness, communication, he was on time, even had it done before he thought it would be. Definitely would recommend them. Local Family owned and operated was also a plus for me. Sitting here in my nice cool house on a hot day! Thanks MinuteMan Services!

My air conditioner quit working. Called Minuteman Services the next morning and they showed up by noon and had the issue resolved within the hour. Great customer service, and quick response time.

These guys are amazing, excellent technicians and fair prices. you guys rock!!!

Completely recommend Minuteman Services. We have had them repair our AC unit at a much more reasonable price than competitors. Most recently they have done annual maintenance on our AC unit and furnace. The techs and the owners are honest, prompt, courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable and won’t try to sell you unnecessary services. I will call them every time for our HVAC needs.

Jarrod and his team are amazing and very professional and transparent. Highly recommended for all your service needs!!

Minutemen services was fantastic to work with! We had to replace our furnace and our ac. They were quick and efficient and definitely had a much more reasonable price than some other companies that are around town. Highly recommend them to anyone.

Always makes our tenants a priority and is very friendly and knowledgeable. These guy are my go to for any HVAC or Electrical needs!

Ted and his team did an excellent job in installing the electrical wirings and connection for my heat tape. I highly recommend him.

Friendly. On-time. Work was done right. Reasonable prices. Can't go wrong with the locally owned Minutemen!

During the last repair of our AC unit, we spoke with Minuteman about the eventual replacement of our AC unit. Unfortunately, that happened sooner rather than later (no fault of Minute Service) and they were able to give us an accurate quote, without having to come back, because they had taken some detailed notes and photos the previous service visit. They provided a fair and reasonable quote and even offered to help provide some temporary measures to ensure we had some relief from the hottest temps of the summer so far. Great work, they protected the area they were working from damage and kept me informed of the status. Highly recommend Minuteman Service for any of your HVAC needs

We used Minuteman to service our furnace and to fix a few electrical issues we had to address before selling. Communication and scheduling were great, I was able to get someone to my home within the same week. I felt they were very knowledgeable and efficient; I also feel that I paid a fair price for the service. I would highly recommend for any electrical or HVAC needs.

I can not say enough positive things about this service! Travis was extremely professional- always kept us informed on status via a quick text update, the price was extremely reasonable and the service was much quicker than we expected during a very busy season! Give them a call- you won’t regret it!

Travis was AMAZING. Showed up early, was so kind, responsive, and taught as he went. His prices were so fair! You have a customer for life!

I had a fire at my house due to my AC and needed electrical. I was recommended Minuteman Services by a co-worker. I am so glad she did. Jarrod got someone out to get me a quote same day. When I was ready for the repairs, I called Ted and he set me up the next day. Everyone we have come in contact with has been very nice and understanding. Their prices are amazing too. I will be using Minuteman Services for all my HVAC and electrical needs from now on.

Amazing service, outstanding work by Travis. Affordable prices. I’ll be using them again in the near future

Super friendly, easy to work with. They were in and out. Great communication

Jordan and Aiden were amazing. The customer service was exceptional and they definitely went the extra mile for me and my business! I Highly recommend them!

Great Service and great job on all their jobs they did for us!! I recommend them highly!!

I am a Senior so having a company like Minute Man do repairs & installations with such professionalism & caring was an extremely positive experience. Dylan, Devon & Travis are an outstanding team of workers. When they left I had no questions because they explained & went over everything. As well as the clean up, it was as if no one had been here. Thank you!

Travis was quick to respond to our request for assistance in setting up a new mini-split system. The team was very good to work with and their installation was clean and quick. They were able to finish in 3 days after projecting 4 days originally. They were very good to communicate alterations that were necessary and include us in the decision. The team was considerate of our schedule and made sure we were pleased with the end product, which we are.

Ted was great when I called to schedule and followed up the day of service. Shane called to let me know he was on the way and did a great job. He even cleaned up behind himself, the only way you could tell he was there, was the excellent job done. All around great experience and fair price. Thank you so much.

I filled out a request online and they contacted me that same day. They showed up the next day to do a bid and started the job the following business day! They did a great job, were affordable, professional and courteous! I would highly recommend Minuteman Services for your electrical work!

We had minute man services replace our furnace, I am very pleased with their work! Definitely will be recommending to family/friends.

I needed help with my furnace in a hurry and had no idea who to trust. A friend recommended Minute Man and they were great! Timely, professional, quality service for a good price. I highly recommend them to others!

We had Minuteman do some electrical work for us recently, running new ethernet cable for security cameras. Shayne was very responsive, prompt, friendly, and did a great job. Definitely recommend them!

Minuteman came out to replace our heaters, put in new ventilation fans, and install a heating/AC unit. They were very respectful, friendly, and even took time to play fetch with our dog. They were alway here when they said they would be, and called each time to let us know they were on their way. They took care to treat our home like their own. They took precautions to keep things clean, and left the floors and things as clean or cleaner than when they got here. Can not recommend them enough!!!

Contacted me back very quickly after waiting over a year for a previous company to show up. They were quick and professional. Awesome work. Jordan and devyn did amazing

Most Common EV Charger Installation Questions
EV charger installation is essential for safe and fast electric vehicle charging at home. It helps reduce charging time, improves convenience, and ensures your system runs efficiently. Minuteman Services provides professional installation with safety, code compliance, and long-term reliability in mind.
Installing an EV charger involves high voltage, dedicated circuits, and local electrical code compliance. This type of work must be handled by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and correct performance. Minuteman Services installs EV chargers the right way using certified electricians who understand load calculations, breaker sizing, and safe wire routing. A do-it-yourself installation can lead to electrical fires, panel overload, or permanent equipment damage. EV chargers pull more power than most appliances, so the wiring must be able to handle continuous amperage without overheating. We also handle any necessary permits and follow all Idaho electrical regulations. With a licensed installation, your system is safer, and your warranty stays valid.
Our electrician starts with a load check to see if your current panel can support a Level 2 charger. If it can, we run a new line and install a breaker dedicated to your charger. If not, we recommend a panel upgrade and complete the work with full documentation. We also help you choose a charger that matches your vehicle and power needs. Every step is completed to code, tested, and verified before the project is considered done. You receive a safe setup that protects your vehicle and your home. You also gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing every part of the system was installed by a licensed professional.
Minuteman Services installs EV chargers every week for homeowners making the switch to electric vehicles. We know what to look for, how to avoid problems, and how to deliver long-term results. A proper installation helps your EV charger last longer and charge more efficiently. Let us handle the work so you can enjoy easy, dependable home charging with no complications. Do not risk your safety or damage your vehicle with a do-it-yourself project. Choose professional installation and get the job done right the first time.
A Level 1 EV charger plugs into a standard household outlet and charges very slowly. Most Level 1 chargers provide about 4 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging. This may work for short daily drives but is not practical for most drivers. A Level 2 charger uses a 240 volt circuit and provides about 25 to 30 miles of range per hour of charging. Minuteman Services installs Level 2 chargers because they offer faster charging times and better performance for everyday use. A Level 2 charger is essential for overnight charging, busy schedules, and long commutes. It also puts less strain on your battery by charging more efficiently.
Level 2 chargers must be hardwired or connected through a dedicated 240 volt outlet. Our electricians confirm your panel has the correct capacity before starting installation. If needed, we perform electrical upgrades to make sure the charger operates safely. Most electric vehicles are built to accept Level 2 charging because of its convenience and reliability. Some Level 2 chargers also include Wi Fi access, charge scheduling, and usage tracking. These features help you control when charging starts and ends to take advantage of off-peak rates. Our team helps you choose a unit with the right amperage and features for your needs.
Minuteman Services installs Level 2 EV chargers to help homeowners stay ready for daily driving. A faster charger means you never have to wait long or visit public stations. Your car charges while you sleep and is ready when you need it. We handle the entire process from inspection to final testing. We also make sure your system is safe and compliant with Idaho electrical codes. When you choose a Level 2 charger, you get faster charging, lower wait times, and better control over energy use. Trust our electricians to deliver a clean and correct installation every time.
Yes, Minuteman Services offers emergency electrical service when your EV charger stops working or causes electrical problems. If your charger will not turn on, trips a breaker, or causes overheating at the panel, our licensed electricians respond quickly to inspect and repair the issue. Driving an electric vehicle requires reliable charging, and downtime can cause serious inconvenience. We troubleshoot all parts of the system including breakers, wiring, and the charger unit itself. If replacement is needed, we provide options and perform safe installation on the spot when possible. Emergency calls are handled with the same care and precision as scheduled installations. You get fast response, clear answers, and reliable repair from local electricians you can trust.
Our technician begins by testing voltage, amperage draw, and system connectivity. We look for signs of wiring failure, loose connections, or charger malfunction. If your panel is overloaded or improperly configured, we can correct the setup or recommend necessary upgrades. In many cases, we can restore power the same day and confirm that your system is safe to use. If your charger has failed completely, we offer quick replacement with a compatible model. Every emergency call includes safety testing, system reset, and follow-up advice to avoid future problems. We make sure your system is back up and running fast.
Minuteman Services is your trusted partner for emergency EV charger repair. We arrive with the right tools and knowledge to solve the issue quickly. You do not have to wait days or risk damaging your system with temporary fixes. Call us for fast, safe, and professional service. We are committed to helping you stay charged and ready without delays. Our electricians know how to handle every brand and configuration. When your charger fails, we are ready to help.
Upgrading your electrical panel may be required before installing a Level 2 EV charger. These chargers draw more power than many existing panels are designed to handle. Minuteman Services performs full panel upgrades to support higher electrical demand and ensure safe EV charger operation. During an upgrade, our electricians remove the old panel, install a new unit with higher amperage, and configure circuits for better load management. We install a dedicated breaker for the EV charger and test the panel for correct voltage and safety. An upgraded panel also supports future electrical additions like HVAC units, appliances, or power tools. Our work is done to Idaho code and includes all permits and inspections.
Many older homes have 100 amp panels that are already close to full capacity. Installing an EV charger could overload the system and lead to breaker tripping or overheating. We start by performing a load calculation to determine if a panel upgrade is needed. If it is, we explain your options and complete the upgrade without disrupting your home for long. New panels are built with improved safety features and give you more space for future circuits. Once installed, we connect the EV charger and perform final system testing. Your charger gets clean power and your home stays protected.
Minuteman Services makes panel upgrades simple and efficient. We manage the entire project from inspection to final inspection approval. You do not need to coordinate multiple contractors or guess about requirements. Our electricians handle everything and explain each step in plain language. When your home needs more power for a charger, we get the job done right. You gain peace of mind knowing your system is safe, modern, and built to last. Let us upgrade your panel and support your EV charger the right way.
A Level 2 EV charger typically uses between 16 and 50 amps of power, depending on the model and settings. Most residential units operate on a 240 volt circuit and deliver up to 12 kilowatts of charging power. The actual amperage depends on your vehicle’s onboard charger and the capabilities of the charging station. Minuteman Services checks your panel capacity and selects a charger that matches your system. We confirm that your electrical setup can support continuous amperage without overloading the circuit. We also install a dedicated breaker to prevent shared loads that could cause tripping or overheating. This ensures the charger operates safely and efficiently.
Electric vehicle manufacturers often recommend a charger that supplies 32 or 40 amps to balance performance and longevity. Faster chargers may offer up to 50 amps, but that requires a higher capacity panel and thicker wiring. Minuteman Services explains the pros and cons of each option during your consultation. We also consider your driving habits and how quickly you need to charge. Not every vehicle can accept high-speed charging, so matching the charger to your EV is important. Once installed, we test the circuit under load and verify that the charger operates without power drops. Every installation is customized for the best results.
We help Idaho Falls homeowners understand power requirements and charger limitations. This prevents surprises and protects your system from electrical issues. Our team handles the technical details and delivers a clean, compliant installation. You get full-speed charging without strain on your electrical panel. Proper setup also helps avoid future repair costs. Minuteman Services gives you the facts, handles the work, and delivers safe performance every time. Trust us to match the right power level to your charger and your home.
The time it takes to fully charge an electric vehicle at home depends on your battery size, the current state of charge, and the power rating of your charger. Most Level 2 chargers installed by Minuteman Services deliver 25 to 30 miles of range per hour. That means a full charge from empty can take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours for most EVs. Many drivers plug in overnight and wake up with a full battery every morning. Charging is much slower with a standard 120 volt outlet, which adds only about 4 to 5 miles of range per hour. That setup is often not practical for daily drivers. Level 2 charging is the standard for home use and works with nearly all electric vehicle models.
Minuteman Services helps homeowners choose a charger based on their driving needs. If you drive long distances each day, a higher amperage unit can charge your battery faster. If your EV stays parked overnight, a standard 32 amp Level 2 charger may be more than enough. We explain charge times for your specific vehicle and install the right system for your lifestyle. Charging speed also depends on your car’s onboard charging capacity. Some vehicles cannot accept high-speed charging even if the charger supports it.

Some EV owners ask if they can use an existing 240 volt outlet from a dryer or range to power their charger. While this may be possible in certain cases, it is not always safe or code compliant. Dryer and range outlets are typically wired for specific amperages and may not be rated for continuous EV charging loads. They also may not be located where you want your charger to be installed. Minuteman Services strongly recommends installing a dedicated circuit for your EV charger. This ensures the charger has its own breaker, wiring, and load protection for safe long-term use. A shared outlet can overheat, trip the breaker, or cause electrical damage to your vehicle.
EV chargers must be installed according to manufacturer specifications and local code. This includes proper wire size, breaker rating, and ground fault protection. Our electricians inspect your current wiring and panel before recommending any solution. If an existing outlet is acceptable, we test voltage and confirm that the circuit can safely handle continuous charging. Most of the time, a new line is needed for safety and long-term reliability. We install the charger where it is most convenient for parking and usage. That often means placing it in a garage or on an exterior wall near your driveway.
Minuteman Services prioritizes safe, compliant installations that protect your home and vehicle. While temporary setups may work in some situations, they are not built for permanent EV charging. We explain the differences and show you why a dedicated circuit is the best option. Our team makes the process easy with expert installation and clear communication. You get a professional system that works safely and avoids common electrical risks. Trust us to deliver the right setup from the start. You will get better performance and peace of mind.
Yes, EV chargers can be safely installed outdoors when properly rated and installed by a licensed electrician. Outdoor chargers must be listed for outdoor use and installed in a weatherproof enclosure. Minuteman Services installs outdoor EV chargers using weather resistant materials and code compliant protection. We seal all electrical connections, install ground fault protection, and mount chargers securely to stand up to Idaho weather. Outdoor units must be kept out of standing water and away from direct sprinkler contact. Chargers rated for outdoor use are tested for moisture resistance, durability, and safe operation in changing temperatures. You can safely charge your vehicle in your driveway with the right setup.
Before installation, our electrician inspects the area for safety, wiring access, and mounting surface stability. We use appropriate conduit, outlet covers, and junction boxes for outdoor environments. Our team follows local code for cable routing, breaker sizing, and ground bonding. Each charger is tested under load to confirm safe performance in outdoor conditions. We also walk you through how to unplug, reset, and protect the unit during storms or freezing temperatures. With professional installation, outdoor EV chargers last for years and require minimal maintenance. You get full-speed charging without needing a garage.
