EV Charger Installation in Port Coquitlam
Thinking about charging at home? We install Level 2 EV chargers throughout Port Coquitlam and can help figure out what your home actually needs before the installation starts.
Can my electrical panel handle an EV charger? +
It depends on your home's existing electrical load and the charger you're planning to install. A Level 2 charger can add a significant load to a residential electrical system, so we look at the existing service, panel capacity and other major electrical loads before deciding how the charger should be connected.
Can I install an EV charger with a 100 amp panel? +
Yes, in many cases it is possible, but it requires a careful load calculation. If your home's total electrical demand is close to capacity, a smart load controller or a service upgrade to 200 amps may be required to safely support continuous Level 2 EV charging.
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Port Coquitlam? +
Yes. Electrical permits and professional installation by a licensed FSR electrical contractor are required in Port Coquitlam to ensure code compliance, safety, and eligibility for any provincial or BC Hydro rebates.
What happens if my home doesn't have enough electrical capacity? +
If your panel is at capacity, we can install a load-managed charging system that automatically shares power with your home's other major appliances, or discuss upgrading your service panel to handle the extra load safely.
How much does it cost to install an EV charger? +
The total cost varies depending on the distance from your electrical panel to the parking spot, whether a load management device is needed, and your panel's current capacity. We provide upfront, straightforward quotes with no hidden surprises.

Two or more of these and it is worth a call.
DON'T FORGET THE ELECTRICAL
A common surprise for homeowners in Port Coquitlam when upgrading to energy-efficient heating and cooling is the electrical demand. Most new heat pumps require a dedicated 240V circuit, and older homes in the Lower Mainland might even need a full electrical panel upgrade to handle the extra load safely.
Because we specialize strictly in the electrical side of the project, we take the guesswork out of the process. If you are getting quotes from HVAC companies, we are here to handle the electrical backbone so your installation goes off without a hitch.
