Why You Need a Residential Electrician for EV Charger Setup

Thinking about getting an electric vehicle or already made the switch? You’re not alone. EVs are becoming the new normal in Gig Harbor, WA, and for good reason. But while the car is ready to go, charging it efficiently at home is a whole different story. At Ampure Electric, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Pierce and Kitsap County upgrade their homes with safe, reliable EV charger installations—and we know just how much of a difference a professional residential electrician can make.



Let’s talk about why hiring a pro is the smart move when it comes to EV charging.

Installing an EV charger at home involves more than plugging it into a wall outlet. It requires expert knowledge of your home’s electrical system and how much power your new charger will need. Trying to do it yourself or hiring a general handyman could result in:

• Overloaded circuits
• Code violations
• Fire hazards
• Unexpected costs later

By working with a licensed residential electrician like Ampure Electric, you get peace of mind knowing the job is done safely and up to local codes.

Every home and every EV model has unique requirements. That’s why our team at Ampure Electric creates custom solutions based on your setup, driving habits, and vehicle model.

• Panel Capacity: We’ll check if your existing panel can handle the charger load. If not, we can upgrade it.
• Charger Location: Whether you want it in the garage or outside, we’ll find the most convenient and code-compliant spot.
• EV Compatibility: From Teslas to Ford Lightnings, we install chargers that match your specific EV’s needs.

This level of attention is something only an experienced residential electrician can offer and it ensures everything runs smoothly for years to come.

Sure, public charging stations exist, but relying on them long-term can be expensive and inconvenient. Here’s how a home EV charger compares:

• Public Charging: Pay-per-use, wait times, and detours
• Home Charging: One-time setup cost, overnight convenience, lower electricity rates

Ampure Electric can help you choose the right charger for your budget and lifestyle. Plus, we’ll walk you through any local rebates or tax incentives available in Gig Harbor, WA, and surrounding areas, helping you save even more.

When you call us for an EV charger setup, here’s how it works:

2.   Proposal: You receive a comprehensive quote outlining the best options for your home.

3.   Installation: Our skilled residential electricians handle the entire installation efficiently.
