- Faster Charging Times: Upgrade from standard wall outlets to a dedicated charging station for significantly quicker charging, minimizing downtime and range anxiety.
- Increased Property Value: For homeowners, an installed EV charger is a desirable amenity that enhances your property's appeal and value. Businesses can attract more customers, support employee sustainability initiatives, and accommodate electric fleet vehicles.

Residential EV Charger Installation Services
For homeowners, having a reliable EV charging solution right in your garage or driveway transforms your daily routine. We provide comprehensive residential EV charger installation, tailored to your home’s electrical system and your vehicle’s needs.
Understanding EV Charger Levels for Your Home
While Level 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt outlet (and is very slow), most homeowners opt for a Level 2 charging station for practical daily use.
- Level 2 Chargers: These stations typically require a 240-volt dedicated circuit, similar to an electric clothes dryer. They deliver significantly more power (usually 30-80 amps), allowing for much faster charging times. Depending on your vehicle’s battery size and the charger's output, a full charge can take anywhere from 4 to 10 hours. We install chargers compatible with all major EVs, including the universal J1772 connector and Tesla Wall Connectors.
Our Residential Installation Process
When you choose Veteran Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric for your home EV charger installation, you can expect a seamless and professional experience:
- Free On-Site Consultation & Electrical Assessment: Our certified electricians will visit your Denver home to evaluate your existing electrical panel capacity, identify the optimal location for your charger, and discuss your specific charging needs. This ensures your system can safely support the new load.
- Electrical Panel Upgrades (If Needed): If your current electrical panel lacks the capacity for a new Level 2 charger, we can provide expert panel upgrades and power system solutions to ensure safe and efficient operation.
- Permitting Assistance: EV charger installations in Denver often require permits to ensure compliance with local electrical codes. We handle the permitting process, ensuring your installation meets all regulatory requirements without hassle.
- Professional Wiring & Installation: Our skilled electricians will meticulously install dedicated wiring, a circuit breaker, and the charging unit itself, ensuring a clean, safe, and code-compliant setup.
- Testing & Orientation: After installation, we thoroughly test the system to confirm proper functionality and provide you with a brief orientation on how to use your new EV charger effectively.

Charger Types for Commercial Applications
Beyond Level 2 chargers, commercial settings may also benefit from faster charging options:
- Level 2 Chargers: Ideal for workplaces, apartment complexes, or retail locations where vehicles are parked for several hours, providing a convenient amenity.
- DC Fast Chargers (Level 3): While less common for routine daily charging due to higher cost and power requirements, these offer rapid charging, making them suitable for quick stops along major roadways or at commercial hubs.

Maximizing Your Savings: EV Charger Rebates & Incentives
Installing an EV charger in Denver can be even more affordable thanks to various federal, state, and local incentives. Our team stays informed about these programs to help you maximize your savings.
- Federal Tax Credits: The federal government offers tax credits for qualifying EV charging equipment and installation costs. Consult with a tax professional for the most current information and eligibility requirements.
- Colorado State Incentives: Colorado frequently introduces programs to encourage EV adoption and infrastructure development. These may include tax credits or rebates for charging equipment.
- Denver City & County Rebates: The City and County of Denver may offer specific rebates, such as the EV Charging Home Wiring Rebate, which provides financial assistance for the electrical work required to install residential EV charging stations. This directly helps offset installation costs for homeowners.

Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and is the slowest. Level 2 (240V) is ideal for home and workplace charging, offering significantly faster speeds. Level 3, or DC Fast Charging, is the quickest but typically found in public or commercial settings due to its high power requirements.
