Level 2 EV Charger Installation

A Wall Outlet Adds A Few Miles An Hour. Level 2 Fills It Overnight.

A standard 120V outlet trickles in only a handful of miles of range per hour, so an overnight charge barely covers a Rochester commute. A Level 2 charger runs on its own dedicated 240V circuit and charges several times faster. We check whether your panel can carry it before we quote anything.

Level 1

120V

Standard wall outlet. A few miles of range per hour. Fine for a plug-in hybrid, frustrating for anything else.

Level 2

What We Install
240V

Dedicated circuit on its own breaker. Several times faster, so you wake up to a full battery every morning.

Panel Load Check & Upgrade

We run the load calculation first. If your 100 amp panel or fuse box cannot carry the charger, we tell you up front and can upgrade the service too.

Why Choose Us

The Electricians Rochester EV Owners Call First

Forty years wiring Monroe County homes, and an EV charger is just a dedicated circuit done properly.

Finished Level 2 EV charger installation in a Rochester NY garage

We Load-Check The Panel Before We Quote

You find out up front whether your service can carry a charger, instead of discovering it on install day when the price suddenly changes.

Licensed Electricians — Not Helpers

A 240V circuit at 40 or 60 amps is not a handyman job. Every install is performed or directly supervised by a licensed New York electrician.

Permit Pulled, Inspection Passed

Unpermitted EV charger wiring is a problem for your insurance and for your resale. We pull the permit and handle the final inspection.

Upfront Pricing, In Writing

You see the number before any work starts, and that is the number you pay. No hourly surprises once the wall is open.

Veteran Owned, Family Run Since 1984

A New York State certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business, run by the Cannizzo family in Monroe County for more than forty years.

Questions

EV Charger Questions

How much does EV charger installation cost? +
It comes down to three things: how far the charger sits from your electrical panel, whether your panel has spare capacity, and which charger you picked. A short run in an attached garage off a modern 200 amp panel is a very different job from a run out to a detached garage off a 100 amp panel. We come out, run the load calculation, and put the exact number in writing. No guessing over the phone.
Do I need a panel upgrade to add an EV charger? +
Not always. Plenty of Rochester homes have enough spare capacity for a Level 2 charger as-is. Older 100 amp panels and fuse boxes often do not, especially with electric heat, a dryer and a range already on there. We run the load calculation before quoting so you know up front, and if you do need a service upgrade we handle that too.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging? +
Level 1 plugs into a standard 120V outlet and adds only a few miles of range per hour. Level 2 runs on a dedicated 240V circuit and charges several times faster. That is why most Rochester EV owners end up on Level 2 and stop thinking about charging altogether.
Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector? +
Yes. We install the Tesla Wall Connector hardwired on a dedicated circuit, commission it, and set up power sharing if you are charging two Teslas. We also install chargers for Rivian, Ford Lightning, Hyundai, Kia and every other EV, plus NEMA 14-50 outlets if you would rather use the mobile connector that came with the car.
Do you handle the permit and inspection? +
Yes. Every EV charger install is permitted, wired to NEC code, and we handle the final electrical inspection. This is not paperwork for its own sake. Unpermitted 240V wiring is exactly the kind of thing that voids an insurance claim or holds up a home sale.
How long does the install take? +
Most residential Level 2 installs are finished in a single day once scheduled. If your panel needs upgrading first, we give you a clear timeline with the written estimate rather than surprising you on the day.
Can the charger go outside or in a detached garage? +
Yes. We install outdoor rated chargers on driveways and carports, and we run circuits out to detached garages. A properly rated and correctly installed unit handles Rochester winters without complaint.
Are there rebates or tax credits available? +
Incentive programs for home EV charging change year to year and depend on your address and your utility. Ask us during the estimate and we will point you at whatever is currently open in your area rather than promise you something that expired.
Are you licensed and insured? +
Yes. Cannizzo Electric is a licensed and insured New York State electrical contractor, and a New York State certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business, serving Rochester and Monroe County since 1984.
