Level 2 EV Charger Install and Surge Protection in Holly Springs, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a permitted, code-compliant Level 2 EV charger installation and whole-home surge protection upgrade for homeowner Freder Medina in Holly Springs, NC. Technician Cody Perry wrapped up the project on October 22, 2025, delivering a clean, reliable setup built for everyday charging and long-term electrical safety.
What We Installed
- Level 2 EV Charger (customer-supplied): Connected and commissioned the EVSE with a dedicated circuit sized for dependable home charging.
- New 60A Circuit: Installed a standard 60-amp breaker, ran approximately 50 ft of #6 SEU wiring, and used 1-inch PVC conduit with fittings as required for protection and a tidy finish.
- Whole-Home Surge Protection: Mounted a surge protective device at the main panel to divert excess voltage to ground during power disturbances.
- Outdoor GFCI Outlet: Added a weather-appropriate GFCI receptacle on the back patio for safe, convenient outdoor power, using 12/2 NM-B wiring and a proper in-use cover.
- Permitting: Filed the electrical permit with the county to ensure all work was inspected and compliant with local code in Holly Springs, NC.
This installation provides the homeowner with fast, at-home EV charging and enhanced protection against damaging voltage spikes—all completed by a licensed Raleigh-based team that understands local code and permitting.
Whole-Home Surge Protection Details
The installed device includes a $100,000 equipment coverage for 10 years when properly connected. It helps shield wiring, outlets/switches, breakers, and hardwired appliances such as HVAC equipment, built-in microwaves, ranges, and lighting from surges caused by lightning nearby, grid fluctuations, or large appliances cycling.
Important coverage notes:
- Coverage is secondary to your homeowner’s insurance.
- Direct lightning strikes are excluded.
- Security systems and medical equipment are not covered.
- Protection applies when devices are properly connected to the installed SPD.
By addressing surges at the panel, the system helps extend the life of sensitive electronics and appliances throughout the home.
