Level 2 EV Charger and Surge Protection in Chapel Hill
Our Raleigh branch completed a permitted, code-compliant Level 2 EV charger installation for homeowner Justin Ng in Chapel Hill, NC. The project included a dedicated 60A circuit and breaker for fast charging, a whole-home surge protector at the main panel, and the installation of a customer-supplied light fixture on a high ceiling.
Led by technician Jose Rodriguez, this visit bundled EV charging, safety upgrades, and lighting improvements into a single, efficient appointment—finished to local code and ready for inspection.
What We Installed
- Level 2 EV Charger Hookup: Connected a customer-supplied charger on a new dedicated 60A breaker. This ensures proper capacity, reliable performance, and faster charging compared to standard outlets.
- Whole-House Surge Protector: Installed at the main electrical panel to divert harmful voltage spikes caused by lightning activity nearby, utility fluctuations, or large appliances cycling on and off—helping protect sensitive electronics and extend the life of home systems.
- High-Ceiling Light Fixture: Mounted a customer-supplied fixture on the existing box/circuit, handling the difficult height safely and securely.
- Permitting and Inspection: Filed the electrical permit and completed the work to current code requirements for Chapel Hill and the State of North Carolina.
Note on surge protection coverage: The installed device includes manufacturer-backed coverage up to $50,000 for 10 years, subject to terms and exclusions. Claims are secondary to homeowner’s insurance; direct lightning strikes are excluded. Covered items typically include major appliances and electrical components that are properly protected by the device; certain categories such as security systems and medical equipment are excluded.
