Will installing an EV charger increase my home insurance premium?

Potentially. Adding a dedicated EV charger may prompt your insurer to review your electrical system, since it increases the load. If the inspection reveals outdated wiring or inadequate service, you might face higher premiums or be asked to upgrade. On the flip side, a professionally installed charger can improve safety and reduce risk, which could help maintain or even lower rates.

How do I know if my garage or parking spot is physically suitable for charger installation?

Beyond electrical capacity, a qualified installer will assess physical access, cable routing, clearance around the charger, outlet height, and weather protection (if outdoors). For example, mounting must allow safe insertion of the plug, and outdoors installations may need weather-rated components or enclosures. This ensures the unit operates safely and lasts longer.

What should I expect for maintenance after the EV charger is installed?

After installation, you should periodically inspect connections for wear, check that the mounting remains secure, ensure the unit is clean and free from debris, verify firmware or app updates (for smart chargers), and monitor any changes in performance. While home units don’t require heavy ongoing maintenance, a yearly check-in can help catch issues early.

Do I need a dedicated circuit for my EV charger, or can it share with other appliances?

For safe and optimal performance, a dedicated circuit is strongly recommended. Sharing a circuit with large appliances can lead to overloads, slower charging and increased risk of breaker trips. Most Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240 V line sized for the charger’s amperage.

What happens if I upgrade my vehicle later or add a second EV? Will my charger still work?

Possibly yes, but it depends on your system’s headroom. If your original installation anticipated future upgrades, your panel and circuit may be sized to handle additional load. If not, adding a faster charger or second unit might require panel upgrades, wiring changes, or load-management features. It’s wise to discuss future needs at the start so your installer can plan accordingly.

Never in my life have I worked with such an honest and professional company. Zachary and Alex are truly exceptional and are among the finest Master Electricians and Journeymen I have ever had the privilege of allowing into my home. My home was in a very serious and dangerous situation due to another company that tampered with my smart meter and improperly installed my entire breaker panel. The situation was critical. TLC Electric stepped in and handled everything with absolute precision, care, and professionalism. They worked closely with the city and Oncor to properly disable and correct a dangerous condition, ensuring everything was done safely, correctly, and by the book. They not only repaired a frightening and high risk situation, but they did so with outstanding workmanship and attention to detail. Their work was meticulous, their pricing extremely fair, and their integrity unquestionable. The young men who represent this company are respectful, highly skilled, and professional in every sense of the word. They are gentlemen through and through, a true class act. They kept their work area clean at all times and treated my home with care and respect. I also had the privilege of meeting the owner of TLC Electric, and he is one of the kindest people you could ever meet. It is very clear that he invests time and energy into the people who work for him and genuinely cares about his customers. He personally came out to make sure everything was handled properly and that we were happy. That alone speaks volumes about the character and leadership behind this company. We still have additional work planned with TLC Electric, which says everything about the trust they earned. This company is truly a diamond in the rough, one in a million. You will not find a better electrical company to work with. I am willing to stake my reputation on them, that is how confident I am in their honesty and workmanship. When your home is in danger, when you trusted one electrical company that failed you, and another steps in to diffuse the situation and beautifully correct everything, it is more than professionalism. It is a blessing and truly an answer to prayer. I wholeheartedly recommend TLC Electric. You will not be sorry

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with TLC Electric. They sent out Joe Veloz Jr., an electrician with over 30 years of experience, to repair a coax and an ethernet port in my home. Another electrical service had previously tried and failed to fix these issues, but Joe is a genius. He was incredibly nice and immediately showed respect for my home by wearing protective "booties" upon entry. He was able to identify hidden coax wires that needed to be terminated and successfully re-wired the ethernet port. Thanks to his expertise, I am now running MOCA 2.5 over the coax connection and achieving gigabit speeds on both the MOCA and the ethernet port he repaired. Despite the complexity of the problem, Joe had it handled and fully tested in under an hour. I was constantly kept informed of his arrival time, which I really appreciated. I also learned a lot from Joe while he was working, and he made some great suggestions to improve my home. TLC Electric has earned all my future business, and I will be highly recommending them to my family and friends.
