Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular as more people embrace cleaner, greener transportation. However, owning an EV means you need a reliable and efficient way to charge it at home or your business. At Silco Electric, we provide professional EV charger installation and repair services to make charging your electric vehicle safe, convenient, and cost-effective.
Why Install an EV Charger at Home?
While most EVs come with a basic charging cable that plugs into a standard outlet, this method is often slow and inefficient, especially for drivers who rely on their EVs daily. Installing a dedicated EV charger at home offers several benefits:
- Faster Charging: Level 2 chargers can recharge your EV much faster than a standard outlet, ensuring your car is ready when needed.
- Convenience: No need to search for public charging stations—charge your EV in the comfort of your garage or driveway.
- Cost Savings: Charging at home is often cheaper than public chargers, especially if you take advantage of time-of-use electricity rates.
EV Charger Types
There are two main types of EV chargers commonly installed at homes and businesses:
Level 1 Chargers
Level 1 chargers plug into a standard 120-volt outlet, providing the slowest charging option. They’re best suited for drivers with low daily mileage who have plenty of time to charge overnight.
Level 2 Chargers
Level 2 chargers use a 240-volt outlet and are the most popular choice for home and commercial installations. They offer significantly faster charging times, making them ideal for daily and busy schedules.
Our team can help you choose the right charger for your needs and ensure it’s installed safely and efficiently.
EV Chargers for Businesses
For businesses, installing EV chargers can attract new customers and provide a valuable amenity for employees. With electric vehicles’ growing popularity, offering charging stations demonstrates your commitment to sustainability and can even enhance your business’s reputation.
Whether you’re looking to install chargers in a parking lot, garage, or other commercial space, Silco Electric can design and install a system that meets your needs and budget.
Why Professional Installation Matters
Installing an EV charger is not a DIY project. It involves electrical work that must be done safely and according to local codes and regulations. At Silco Electric, our licensed electricians have the experience and expertise to handle EV charger installations.
Our professional installation process includes:

- Ensuring the installation meets all local codes and safety standards.
We’ll handle every step of the process, giving you peace of mind that your charger is installed correctly and safely.
