Level 2 EV Charger Installation and Surge Protection in Hillsborough, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch recently completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation with a whole-home surge protection upgrade for Larry Choate in Hillsborough, NC. Led by technician Gustavo Peralta, this turnkey project included permitting, a dedicated 50-amp circuit, safe wiring in conduit, and rebate-ready documentation.
Completed on 2026-05-11, the installation delivers reliable, code-compliant home charging and adds a major layer of protection for the home’s electrical system.
What We Installed
- Level 2 EV Charger Setup (customer-supplied unit): Installed on a dedicated 50A breaker to ensure proper load capacity and faster charging performance.
- Wiring and Conduit: Professionally routed conductors using #6 THHN and #6 SEU where appropriate, with approximately 3/4" PVC conduit for protection and a short liquid-tight section for a clean, secure equipment connection.
- Electrical Permit Filed: We pulled the required electrical permit with the local authority to keep the project fully compliant from start to finish.
- Whole-Home Surge Protection: Installed a premium unit rated for robust protection to help defend major appliances, HVAC equipment, and sensitive electronics against damaging voltage spikes.
Result: a safe, tidy, and code-compliant installation that’s built for daily charging and long-term reliability.
Permit, Inspection, and Compliance
Our team handled the electrical permit process and ensured the new EV charging circuit met local code requirements. Every jurisdiction can differ, so our scope included the electrical permit only. If non-electrical permits are ever required by your jurisdiction (such as zoning or historic review), we’ll guide you on next steps and provide pricing for any additional filings if requested.
Rebate-Ready Documentation for Hillsborough Homeowners
To make incentives easier, we prepared an itemized invoice suitable for utility rebate submissions. This helps homeowners document eligible materials and labor for potential rebates offered by regional programs. If you’re in Hillsborough, NC and planning an EV charger, ask us about preparing rebate-ready paperwork for your project.
Why Add Whole-Home Surge Protection with Your EV Charger
- Protects big-ticket equipment like HVAC systems, refrigerators, and the EV charger itself from electrical surges.
- Improves resilience against storms and unexpected utility fluctuations.
- Convenient timing: installing surge protection during an EV charger project minimizes disruption and streamlines permitting and inspection.
For this Hillsborough project, pairing the charger with surge protection was a smart, future-ready upgrade.
