Project overview in Greensboro, NC
Our team delivered a clean, code-compliant Level 2 EV Charger Installation from start to finish. The work included permitting, running a new circuit to the charger location, and safeguarding the home’s electrical system with a panel-mounted surge protector that offers long-term peace of mind.
- Filed and pulled the required electrical permit for the project.
- Installed a customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger on a new dedicated circuit.
- Added a 50-amp GFCI breaker designed to protect EV charging circuits.
- Ran 3/4-inch EMT conduit with THHN conductors for a durable, professional pathway.
- Labeled and terminated all components to ensure a clean, organized panel layout.
- Installed a whole-home surge protector at the main panel for comprehensive protection.
Why a 50A GFCI breaker and EMT/THHN?
Level 2 EV charging equipment typically requires a dedicated, properly sized circuit. A 50A GFCI breaker adds ground-fault protection at the source, enhancing safety for the circuit and the connected charger. EMT conduit with THHN conductors provides a robust, secure pathway for wiring with a clean, professional finish that stands up well over time.
Whole-home surge protection with $50k/10-year warranty
To protect sensitive electronics and appliances from damaging voltage spikes, we installed a panel-mounted surge protective device. Whole-house surge protection helps divert excess voltage to ground before it reaches your home’s wiring and connected equipment—particularly helpful during lightning events, utility fluctuations, or when large appliances cycle on and off.
- Warranty coverage: $50,000 protection for 10 years against damage to covered home equipment in the unlikely event of device failure.
- Typical covered items: Major appliances (washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer), HVAC equipment located inside the home, stove and built-in cooking equipment, wiring and electrical system components, outlets/switches, lighting, and other hardwired devices when protected by a properly connected SPD.
- Exclusions and notes: Claims are secondary to your existing insurance policy. Direct lightning strikes are excluded. Security systems and medical equipment are not covered.
This upgrade not only helps shield electronics from sudden surges but can also extend the service life of everyday devices affected by routine, smaller voltage spikes.
Permitting and compliance
All work for this Greensboro project was permitted. Our team filed the electrical permit and completed the EV Charging scope to code. Please note: this service includes the electrical permit only. If a project requires other non-electrical permits (historic, environmental/septic, zoning, or separate trade permits), those are not included. If additional permits are required, we provide guidance and, if desired, a separate proposal to process them.
