Why Choose Professional EV Charger Installation?
Electric vehicle ownership in Houston continues to grow rapidly, and having a dedicated home charging station provides unmatched convenience and cost savings. While standard 120-volt outlets can charge your EV, they’re painfully slow. A professionally installed Level 2 charging station operates on 240-volt power, charging your electric vehicle up to eight times faster than standard outlets.

Choosing the Right EV Charger
Level 2 Home Charging Stations
Level 2 chargers are the gold standard for residential EV charging in Houston. Operating on 240-volt power, these stations provide 25-40 miles of range per hour of charging, allowing most electric vehicles to achieve full charges overnight during off-peak electricity rates.
Smart Charging Features
Modern EV chargers offer Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone apps, scheduling capabilities, and energy monitoring features. These smart functions help Houston homeowners optimize charging times, track energy usage, and potentially reduce electricity costs through time-of-use scheduling.
Weather Resistance and Durability
Houston’s climate requires EV chargers rated for outdoor installation with appropriate weather protection. We install NEMA-rated enclosures and weatherproof connections to ensure reliable operation through Texas heat, humidity, and severe weather conditions.
