EV Charger Installation in Ottawa

Home charging starts with the parking arrangement and an electrical capacity assessment. Renovation1 coordinates the installation scope and finish work; an ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor evaluates options and installs the charging equipment.

Common questions

No single answer fits every home. The LEC assesses the service and loads, then considers the charging equipment and any suitable load-management or upgrade options.

Send the proposed model first. Capacity, mounting conditions, connection method and vehicle needs can affect which equipment and installation arrangement are suitable.
