Schedule your EV charger installation with our licensed electricians.
As your neighbors here in Central Florida, we know that worrying about your EV's battery life is the last thing you need. Across Orlando, Winter Park, and Apopka, more homeowners are discovering that a professionally installed charger is a necessity, not a luxury. Spectrum Electric isn't a national chain; we are local, licensed electricians (License #EC13008455) who take personal pride in our work. We believe in craftsmanship and long-term accountability, ensuring your new charger is installed correctly and safely, for the long haul.
As part of our commitment to homeowner education, we want to clarify the limits of standard charging. The "Level 1" cord that came with your vehicle plugs into any wall outlet, but it's dangerously slow, adding just 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging. For anyone with a real Central Florida commute, like from Apopka to downtown Orlando, this means you're often using more power than you can replace overnight, creating a charging deficit that makes driving stressful.
The proper solution is a Level 2 charger, which we install on a dedicated 240-volt, 50-amp circuit using heavy-duty 6-gauge wire. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a fundamental change, boosting your charging speed to 25-30+ miles of range per hour. This means you can arrive home with an empty battery, plug in, and have a fully charged vehicle by morning, every single time. A professional installation also allows you to safely leverage off-peak savings from providers like OUC or Duke Energy, directly reducing your cost per mile.
We check your electrical panel's capacity and determine the best location for your charger, whether that's inside your garage or on the side of your home.
We handle all the paperwork. Whether you're in Orange County or Seminole County, we pull the necessary permits to ensure your installation is code-compliant and safe.
Most installations take just 2 to 4 hours. We mount the unit, run the conduit, and install the dedicated 50-amp or 60-amp circuit.
We don't leave until we see the green light on your dashboard. We test the voltage and walk you through how to use your new equipment.
We install top-rated chargers compatible with every major EV on the road, including Rivian, Ford Lightning, Hyundai Ioniq, and the Chevy Bolt:
The gold standard for Tesla owners (Model 3, Y, S, X, and Cybertruck), offering the fastest home charging speeds.
We install reliable brands like ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, and Wallbox. These work with any non-Tesla EV (and Teslas with an adapter).
If you prefer using a portable mobile connector, we can install a heavy-duty 240-volt outlet for you.
Every EV charger installation starts with a formal load calculation. If your existing electrical service can safely support the charger, we use the capacity you already have. If capacity is tight, we explain the practical options, such as a lower charging amperage or listed load-management equipment when appropriate, before recommending a panel or service upgrade. If an upgrade is necessary, we show you why and provide a written price before work begins.
This matters in Orlando because an EV charger draws a continuous 32 to 50 amp load. Older homes in College Park and Winter Park were often built with 100-amp or 150-amp service, and a 1960s panel in a Baldwin Park bungalow behaves very differently from a 200-amp service in a newer Lake Nona build. The calculation tells us which of those situations you are actually in, so nobody pays for an electrical panel upgrade in Orlando they did not need.
The load calculation puts your home into one of three situations, and we tell you which one before you commit to anything.
Your panel already has the safe capacity and space required for the charger.
A suitable listed load-management solution or adjusted charging rate may avoid a full service upgrade.
When the calculation shows the existing service cannot safely carry the new load, we explain the required upgrade and complete the charger and electrical work together.
Spectrum was great. I called several companies for a quote to run electric from the house to backyard shed. Spectrum was one of the only ones who called me back and came our right away and gave me a quote. I felt like the wanted my business. We scheduled the work for a few days later both Alex and Jason showed up on time and were done when they said they would be. Very thorough, professional, made sure they did everything we needed, took time to answer any questions we had. I would definitely use them again and recommend them. Great company and great people.
FANATASTIC experience with Spectrum. The electrician was very efficient and thorough with the job. We got a new light fixture in our pantry and Alex walked us through all our options. When he was done with the installation, he troubleshooted it to make sure it was working exactly the way we wanted it. Before he left, he cleaned the area he was working in. I highly recommend this company! Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and affordable!
A great experience with Spectrum Electric. Alex came out in person and estimated the work to be performed (rewire entire house). Besides being affordable, they've been very professional, and strong communication with us every step of the way. I would recommend them for any project large or small.
Spectrum has been out to our home three times now and has done incredibly work each time. They are prompt, professional and efficient. I first used them to update all recommendations from our home purchase inspection. They were able to test/update/replace every single outlet. This helped address a recent short we experienced in my sons room. Now I know we are up to code and my baby is safe! Most recently, I needed a new outlet out put in. They were busy but still made time to squeeze us in and now my freezer works! I will surely use them for all of my electrical needs.
I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome of the services performed by Spectrum Electric! They were amazing with explaining everything to me, repairing what needed to be done and making my kitchen light up! They were quick, on time, clean and were reasonably priced. I will definitely use them in the future and highly recommend.
We believe an informed homeowner is a safer homeowner. That's why we've compiled straightforward answers to your most common questions about the EV charger installation process, from electrical needs and timelines to the uncompromising safety codes we follow on every single job. Our goal is to demystify the process so you have complete confidence in the work we perform for your family.
Contact UsA home charger is not just a matter of mounting a unit and plugging it in. A Level 2 charger draws a lot of power, so the real work is making sure your electrical system can carry that load safely. About 40 percent of the time an EV charger install also becomes a panel upgrade, and that number climbs if you plan to charge more than one vehicle, because the added amperage is more than many older panels were built to handle.
The most common problem we correct on DIY setups is a breaker and wire that do not match. When the wrong breaker is paired with the wire, the wire can overheat without the breaker ever tripping, and that usually is not caught until the wire fails. A proper install sizes the service, the breaker, and the wire together so your charging is safe for the long run. At Spectrum Electric, we install chargers for every EV brand across Orlando and Central Florida, so call (407) 880-8977 to get started.
