Level 2 EV Charger Installation & Whole‑Home Surge Protection in Spring Hope, NC
Completed on August 18, 2026, this Spring Hope project combined a dedicated Level 2 EV charger installation with a robust whole‑home surge protection upgrade. Performed by our Raleigh branch, technicians Eric Myers, Gray Gorrell, and Francisco Martinez delivered a code‑compliant, future‑ready setup for Jessica Lewis—backed by our Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty.
Project Highlights
- Permit filed: We handled the electrical permit to ensure a smooth, compliant installation in Spring Hope.
- 60A Level 2 EV charging circuit: Dedicated 60‑amp breaker and properly sized conductors for reliable, faster home charging.
- Clean, durable pathway: Professionally installed PVC conduit as required for a neat, protected run.
- Customer‑supplied charger: Installed and commissioned during a single visit, with labeling and final testing.
- Whole‑home surge protection: Panel‑mounted surge protective device to help safeguard appliances, electronics, and your new EV charger.
Why Upgrade to Level 2 EV Charging?
Level 2 charging makes daily life easier by significantly reducing charge times compared to standard outlets, while adding safety and reliability through a dedicated, properly protected circuit. For Jessica’s home in Spring Hope, we installed a 60‑amp feeder with #6 conductors and a matched breaker to accommodate present needs and allow room for future EV technology.
Whole‑Home Surge Protection: How It Protects Your Home
Our surge protective device was installed at the main electrical panel, where it diverts excess voltage safely to ground during surges from lightning activity in the area, utility grid fluctuations, or large motors cycling on and off. This helps shield wiring, breakers, outlets, and connected equipment, reducing the wear that repeated micro‑surges can cause to sensitive electronics and appliances.
This system includes a $10,000 / 3‑year appliance protection warranty from the surge device manufacturer in the unlikely event of failure. Coverage focuses on common household equipment—such as washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, indoor HVAC unit, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove, hard‑wired appliances and lighting—when protected by a properly connected SPD. Claims are typically secondary to your home insurance, direct lightning strikes are excluded, and items like security systems and medical equipment are not covered.
Permits and Compliance
As part of this job, Touchstone Electric filed the electrical permit with the county to meet local code requirements. If a project requires additional non‑electrical permits (for example, zoning or historic approvals), those are handled separately. Our team will always advise you on any extra steps before work proceeds.
Craftsmanship You Can Count On
Every install we complete in Spring Hope is backed by our Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty for peace of mind. From secure terminations and proper torqueing to neat conduit runs and clear panel labeling, our Raleigh branch is committed to quality that lasts.
