Charging at Home Without the Guesswork

Mile High Electrician LLC installs EV charging stations for homes and businesses throughout Denver, Colorado.

When you bring an electric vehicle home to Denver, the convenience of charging overnight in your own garage depends entirely on whether your electrical system can handle the load. Many older homes were never designed for the continuous power draw an EV charger requires, and garages in both established and newer Denver neighborhoods often need panel upgrades or dedicated circuits before installation can begin.

Mile High Electrician LLC installs home and commercial EV charging stations with full load calculations and code compliance built into every job. The team evaluates your existing panel capacity, determines whether your system can support a Level 2 charger, and completes the wiring, mounting, and final inspection. Whether your parking is in an attached garage, a detached structure, or a driveway with outdoor access, the installation is planned around your specific layout and usage patterns.

If you are adopting an electric vehicle in Denver and want to understand what your home needs before installation day, schedule an EV charger consultation with Mile High Electrician LLC.

What Happens During a Charging Station Install

The work begins with a site evaluation at your Denver property, where the electrician checks your panel's available capacity, measures the distance from the panel to your parking area, and identifies the best location for the charger unit. If your panel cannot support the additional load, the team will discuss whether an upgrade or subpanel is needed before the charger can be safely installed.

Once the electrical capacity is confirmed, a dedicated circuit is run from the panel to the charger location, the unit is mounted securely to the wall or post, and all connections are tested for proper voltage and grounding. You will notice faster charging times compared to a standard outlet, and your vehicle will be ready each morning without requiring trips to public charging stations.

Mile High Electrician LLC coordinates the required permits and inspections to meet Denver code requirements, and the installation is designed to perform reliably through temperature swings and year-round use. The service does not include modifications to your vehicle or setup of manufacturer-specific apps, but the charger itself will be fully operational and ready to use when the crew leaves.

Questions Before You Schedule

How do I know if my panel can handle an EV charger?
The electrician performs a load calculation during the initial consultation to determine whether your panel has enough available capacity. If it does not, you may need a panel upgrade or a subpanel installed before the charger can be added safely.

What type of charger is installed in most Denver homes?
Most residential installations use a Level 2 charger, which operates on a 240-volt circuit and can fully charge most electric vehicles overnight. The specific amperage and model depend on your vehicle and how quickly you need to recharge between uses.
