Benefits of Installing an EV Charging Station in Your Home

As electric cars and vehicles (EVs) become more common, having a charging station at home will become more necessary. A dedicated charging station brings convenience, saves money, and offers peace of mind. Horton Electric is here to help ensure the installation is done correctly and safely.

Convenience and Costs Savings

One of the biggest benefits of having a home EV charging station is the convenience it provides. You no longer need to make frequent trips to public charging stations or take time locating them and waiting in line to plug in your car. With a home charger, you can plug in your car at night and wake up to a fully charged battery, ready for the day ahead.

Did you know that BC Hydro is also giving rebates for new home chargers? See here if you're eligible, and make this addition even more affordable.

The Importance of Professional Installation

While the advantages of having an EV charging station are clear, the installation process shouldn't be taken lightly. Electrical work, especially with high-voltage systems, requires skill and accuracy. That's why it's important to have a licensed electrician install your EV charging station.

A professional electrician will ensure that your charging station is installed safely and according to all local codes and rules. We can also check your home's electrical capacity to see if any upgrades are needed to support the new charging station.

 

Trying to do it yourself or hiring someone unqualified can lead to a bad installation, which could cause electrical hazards, damage your car, or even void your warranty. Our team of electricians can recommend the right equipment and best placement for you. Book in for your installation with us today to ensure safety, reliability, and peace of mind.
