EV Charger Installation Made Simple
Owning an electric vehicle should be convenient—and charging at home is one of the best ways to make that happen.
At Waldrop, we provide professional EV charger installation so you can charge safely, reliably, and confidently right from your home.
Whether you’re purchasing your first EV charger or upgrading your current setup, our team is here to make the process easy from start to finish.
Why Install a Home EV Charger?
A dedicated home charging station can save time, reduce hassle, and help you stay ready to go whenever you need your vehicle.
Benefits of installing a home EV charger include:
- Faster charging compared to a standard outlet
- More convenience - charge overnight at home
- A safer, dedicated power source for your vehicle
- Less reliance on public charging stations
- Added value and functionality for your home
EV Charger Installation You Can Trust
EV chargers require more than just plugging into power. Proper installation ensures your system can handle the electrical demand safely—and helps protect your home, your vehicle, and your charger.
Waldrop will:
- Verify your electrical panel can support the charger
- Make sure wiring and breaker sizing is correct
- Install the charger safely and professionally
- Ensure everything is operating properly before we leave
- Answer any questions and explain how it all works
Is Your Home Ready for an EV Charger?
Not sure if your current electrical system can support one? No problem. Many homes need upgrades before adding an EV charger, especially if the panel is older or already near capacity.
If needed, Waldrop can help with:
- Electrical Inspections
- Panel Upgrades
- Dedicated circuits for your charger
- Outlet upgrades and safety improvements
We’ll guide you through your options and help you choose what’s best for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Can I install an EV charger outdoors?
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.
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.
Does Club Wally offer EV charger benefits?
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.
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.
