Level 2 EV Charger Installation and Surge Protection in Fuquay-Varina, NC
Our Raleigh team completed a turnkey Level 2 EV charger installation and whole-home surge protection for homeowner Steve Szabo in Fuquay-Varina. Lead technician Francisco Martinez wrapped this project on April 7, 2025, delivering a clean, code-compliant setup designed for fast home charging and year-round electrical protection.
What We Installed
- Electrical permit pulled to ensure full local code compliance and inspection readiness.
- Dedicated 240V circuit for EV charging using approximately 10 feet of 8/3 NM-B wiring for a neat, efficient run.
- New 50A breaker installed in the main panel to properly support Level 2 charging.
- Customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger professionally mounted, wired, and tested for safe daily use.
- Whole-home surge protective device (Boltshield SPD) installed at the main electrical panel to divert excess voltage to ground and help safeguard your home’s electrical system and connected equipment from power surges.
Why This Matters for Your Home
- Faster charging at home: A dedicated Level 2 circuit keeps your EV ready without overloading existing circuits.
- Cleaner, safer installation: Proper breaker sizing, professional wiring methods, and a permitted installation help ensure long-term reliability.
- Whole-home protection: The panel-mounted surge protector helps reduce the risk of damage from lightning-related events, utility grid fluctuations, and large appliances cycling on and off.
To give extra peace of mind, the installed surge protector includes a $10,000 / 3-year equipment warranty in the unlikely event of device failure. Per manufacturer terms, claims are secondary to your insurance policy, direct lightning strikes are excluded, and security systems and medical equipment are not covered. Coverage applies to many common appliances and hardwired devices when protected by a properly connected Boltshield SPD.
