Frequently Asked Questions
Most Level 2 home charger installations in San Marcos run $800-2,500. The main cost drivers are electrical panel upgrades, distance from your panel to the garage, and whether you need a dedicated 240V circuit. Older homes often need more electrical work.
Yes, San Marcos requires an electrical permit for hardwired EV charger installations. We handle the permit application and inspection scheduling. The permit typically costs around $100-150 and ensures your installation meets local electrical codes.
Most installations take 3-5 hours depending on your electrical setup. If your panel needs upgrading or we're running new conduit to the garage, it could take a full day. We completed this Brook Road installation in one visit since the electrical was ready.
Check the charging cable for cracks or damage monthly, and keep the unit clean and dry. Test the charging connection occasionally to ensure it's secure. Most quality chargers are designed to work maintenance-free for years in California's mild climate.
