Charge at home and wake up to a full battery every morning. Installed, permitted, and inspected by a licensed local electrician serving Barrie and Simcoe County.
A Level 2 charger adds roughly 30 to 50 km of range per hour, so your EV is full every morning without relying on public chargers. We install a dedicated 240 volt circuit for your charger, file the ESA notification of work, complete the install to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and hand you the ESA Certificate of Acceptance when it passes inspection. One licensed electrician, start to finish.
Permitted and inspected from the first step. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to a charged car.
We check your panel capacity, the distance to your parking spot, and your charger options, then perform a load calculation to confirm what your home can support.
As a Licensed Electrical Contractor, we file the notification of work with the Electrical Safety Authority before any work begins. You do not handle paperwork.
We run a dedicated 240 volt circuit, install your hardwired or plug-in charger to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and weatherproof outdoor installs for Simcoe County winters.
The ESA reviews the work, and you receive a Certificate of Acceptance once it is accepted as compliant. Keep it for your home insurance and resale records.
A standard wall outlet (Level 1) can take more than a full day to charge an EV. A Level 2 charger changes how you live with an electric car.
Level 2 adds roughly 30 to 50 km of range per hour, so an overnight charge covers daily driving with room to spare.
Skip the lineups, the apps, and the per-session fees. Charging at home on overnight rates is the cheapest way to fuel an EV.
The right charger and a proper weatherproof install handle cold-weather charging and battery preconditioning without nuisance faults.
A permitted, inspected, and documented charger is a clean selling feature, and the Certificate of Acceptance proves it was done right.
This is the single biggest factor in your final price, and the honest answer is: often not. A 200 amp panel with free breaker space usually takes a Level 2 charger without any upgrade. Older 100 amp panels, common in many Barrie homes, sometimes need more capacity.
When capacity is tight, a load management device is frequently the cheaper path. It lets your charger share capacity safely instead of paying for a full panel upgrade. A load calculation tells us which route fits your home, and we will recommend the option that costs you less.
CHECK MY PANELSpare breaker space means the charger circuit goes in cleanly. No upgrade in most cases.
May handle a charger if there is room. A load calculation confirms, and a load management device may avoid an upgrade.
Older service common in pre-1980 homes. Usually needs an upgrade before adding an EV circuit.
We install every major Level 2 charger and help you pick the right one for your vehicle, panel, and budget. Not sure where to start? We will recommend one.
Best for a permanent home charger. Supports higher amperage, avoids the GFCI nuisance tripping that can affect plug-in setups, has no plug to wear out, and gives the cleanest result for outdoor installs.
A good fit if you want to take the charger with you or expect to move. Uses an EV-rated 240 volt receptacle and a dedicated circuit. We install the correct heavy-duty outlet, not a range-grade one.
Made in Ontario, rated for cold Canadian winters. A strong, durable local choice.
The fast, clean option for Tesla owners, with adapters available for other EVs.
Smart, app-connected charging with adjustable amperage.
A rugged Canadian-market charger built for the climate.
Works with any EV on the road today. A safe default if you are unsure.

Home EV charger installation across the county. If your town is not listed, ask. We likely cover it.
Straight answers to what Barrie homeowners ask most.
Yes. Every residential EV charger installation in Ontario requires a notification of work filed with the Electrical Safety Authority before the work starts. A Licensed Electrical Contractor files it, installs the charger to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and provides you an ESA Certificate of Acceptance once the work is inspected and accepted.
The main variable is whether your electrical panel has spare capacity. If it does, the charger circuit goes in cleanly. If your panel is full or undersized, a panel upgrade or a load management device adds to the cost. We give you a firm quote after a quick assessment of your panel and the run to your parking spot.
Not always. A 200 amp panel with free breaker space usually handles a Level 2 charger without an upgrade. Older 100 amp panels, common in many Barrie homes, may need an upgrade or a load management device, which is often the cheaper path. A load calculation tells us for certain.
For a permanent home charger, hardwired is usually the better choice. It supports higher amperage, avoids the GFCI nuisance tripping that can affect plug-in setups, has no plug to wear out, and is cleaner for outdoor installs. A plug-in NEMA 14-50 makes sense if you want flexibility or expect to move.
Most straightforward installations take a few hours. If a panel upgrade is needed, plan for additional time and utility coordination. We confirm the timeline when we quote.
We install all major Level 2 chargers, including the Ontario-made Grizzl-E, the Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, FLO, and universal J1772 units that work with any EV. We help you match the charger to your vehicle, your panel, and your budget.
No. As of 2026 there is no Ontario or federal rebate for home EV charger installation. The federal Electric Vehicle Affordability Program is a rebate on the vehicle itself, not the charger. We tell you plainly what applies rather than promise savings that do not exist.
