Home EV Charger Installation in Calgary and Beyond
Getting an EV? Congratulations!
You’ve done your research and decided on a make and model. However, before you make your purchase (and laugh every time you pass a gas station), you need to decide how to charge your new EV.
Unfortunately, installing electric vehicle supply equipment in your home can be overwhelming. You will need to navigate electrical codes, understand city permitting, and figure out what your home is capable of in terms of available power. The more you read online, the more it seems that everyone has an opinion on the right way to do things. The internet is full of mixed messaging and sometimes misleading information.

FAQs
Every home is different. By determining the available power remaining on your system we can advise you on if you can add an EV charge point.
Using a calculation from the Canadian electrical code, we look at factors such as square footage, electric heating loads, and other large loads such as air conditioning units and hot tubs to determine current usage. We can then size your EV charge point accordingly.
Not necessarily. There are options available, such as Load Optimizers and service upgrades, that can safely allow you to add a charge point.
