What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 chargers?

Level 1 chargers plug into a standard household outlet (120 V) and add about 3-5 miles of range per hour, great for overnight charging. Level 2 chargers use a 240 V connection, like a dryer outlet, and charge much faster, usually 20-30 miles per hour. Most homeowners choose Level 2 for conveniences and efficiency.

How long does installation take?

Most EV charger installations take about 3-6 hours, depending on your panel’s capacity and how far the charger is from it. If your electrical system needs an upgrade, that may add extra time, but we’ll walk you through it all before starting.

Will my panel support an EV charger?

Absolutely! Many EV chargers are designed for outdoor use and built to withstand rain and temperature changes. Waldrop can recommend weather-rated equipment and ensure the setup is safely wired for outdoor conditions.

Can Waldrop install EV chargers at home?

Yes! Waldrop’s licensed electricians can install Level 1 or Level 2 home chargers. We’ll handle everything, from assessing your electrical panel to choosing the best mounting location and ensuring the installation meets local code.

Frequently Asked Questions

expert answers to your questions

Absolutely — we install outdoor EV chargers regularly. Most Level 2 chargers from manufacturers like ChargePoint, Tesla, and Emporia are NEMA 3R or 4 rated, meaning they’re built to handle rain, humidity, and temperature swings. The key is proper installation: we mount the unit at the correct height, run the wiring through weatherproof conduit, install a dedicated 240V circuit with the right amperage (typically 40-60A depending on your charger), and ensure GFCI protection per the current National Electrical Code. We also load-test your panel before installation. If your panel is near capacity, which we see often in older homes, we’ll discuss options like a panel upgrade or a load management device so your charger and existing circuits coexist safely.

Yes. Club Wally members receive priority scheduling and discounted rates on all electrical services, and that includes EV charger work. If your charger needs maintenance, troubleshooting, or a circuit inspection, your membership saves you money and gets you to the front of the line. We also recommend an annual check on your charger’s dedicated circuit; connection points can loosen over time due to thermal cycling under heavy loads, which is something most homeowners wouldn’t notice until there’s a problem. Club Wally helps you stay ahead of issues like that.

Aiden and Pedro were excellent throughout the entire process. Without going into too much detail, they had to complete extensive pipe work that took three days. They made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier by walking us through each step, explaining the work being done, and keeping us updated on their progress.

The past three days were definitely stressful and overwhelming, but their professionalism, communication, and willingness to keep us informed helped put us at ease. Most importantly, they established a level of trust that made all the difference.

Thank you both again for everything you did for our family. We truly appreciate your hard work and dedication. We would absolutely recommend you to our family and friends!

Very professional, and all of my water lines where inspected, then all sink and toilet lines where inspected, and no leaks, so they do this once a year, and now I'm very satisfied with the results, thank you.
The Staff and Technicians have made me a part of their family. They are very kind and very professional about what they do. Their prices are unbeatable, and I like when they are finished with the job they clean their mess up and haul it off, and then they come in talk and show pictures of what they did. And I THANK ALL OF THEM!
