Level 2 EV Charging and Safety Upgrades in Colfax, NC
Our Raleigh branch completed a comprehensive EV charging and safety upgrade for homeowner David Sinclair in Colfax, NC. Led by technician Patrick Burke, this project was finished on May 10, 2024 and included a dedicated Level 2 EV charger circuit, new garage power, outdoor GFCI outlets, and whole-home surge protection.
What We Installed
- Level 2 EV charger circuit: A dedicated 50A, 240V circuit to support fast, reliable home charging.
- Dedicated 20A garage circuit: Added capacity for tools, a freezer, or other garage loads without tripping shared breakers.
- Outdoor GFCI outlets: Three weather-appropriate receptacles—two on the front porch and one on the back porch—for safe, convenient exterior power.
- Whole-home surge protector: Installed at the main panel to help protect appliances and electronics from damaging voltage spikes.
- Permitting and inspections: We filed the electrical permit with the county and coordinated all required inspections.
Everything was installed with attention to safety, clear labeling, and a neat finish to provide dependable performance for years to come.
Why Choose a Level 2 EV Charger Circuit?
Level 2 charging (240V) dramatically shortens charging times compared to standard 120V outlets. A dedicated 50A circuit ensures your electric vehicle gets consistent, adequate power without overloading existing household circuits.
- Faster daily charging: Top up overnight with time to spare.
- Dedicated capacity: Reduces nuisance trips and supports most home EV charging needs.
- Future-ready: Supports current and future EV models and smart chargers.
Safety Upgrades: GFCI and Surge Protection
GFCI-protected outdoor outlets are essential for moisture-prone areas like porches and patios. They provide shock protection and meet modern electrical safety standards for exterior locations.
A whole-home surge protector helps safeguard sensitive electronics and major appliances from voltage spikes caused by storms, utility fluctuations, or large equipment cycling. Installed at the main electrical panel, it adds an important layer of defense for your home’s entire electrical system.
