Level 2 EV Charger Installation and Surge Protection in Hope Mills, NC
Our Raleigh branch completed a turnkey Level 2 EV charger installation and whole-home surge protection for homeowner Darryl Coulter in Hope Mills, NC. Lead technician Brad Williams handled the project from permit to final inspection, delivering a clean, code-compliant install completed on September 5, 2025.
Project Highlights
- Permit pulled and filed: We handled the electrical permitting with the local authority to ensure a smooth, compliant installation from day one.
- Dedicated Level 2 EV circuit: Installed a new 50A circuit for fast, reliable home charging, using approximately 27 feet of #8 SEU (3-wire) cable and a 50A breaker matched to the charger’s requirements.
- Charger installation: Professionally installed the customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger with proper mounting, wiring, and load verification. The circuit was tested and labeled for safety and convenience.
- Whole-home surge protection: Added a panel-mounted surge protective device to divert damaging voltage spikes away from the home’s electrical system and appliances.
- Panel updates: Installed two 20A tandem breakers for small-appliance use and two 15A tandem breakers for standard branch circuits to support current and future needs.
Whole-Home Surge Protection Benefits
Surges can originate from lightning activity, utility grid fluctuations, or heavy appliances cycling on and off. The new surge protector helps shield your home’s electrical system and sensitive electronics by clamping excess voltage and sending it safely to ground.
- Coverage: This surge protection package includes a $10,000 equipment coverage benefit for 3 years in the unlikely event of device failure, secondary to your homeowner’s insurance.
- What’s typically protected: Major appliances and hardwired equipment such as HVAC components, kitchen appliances, lighting, and other connected devices when properly protected by the installed SPD.
- Exclusions and notes: Direct lightning strikes are excluded, and certain items (such as security systems and medical equipment) are not covered. See full terms for details.
Permitting and Compliance
We filed the electrical permit for this project. Some jurisdictions require additional non-electrical permits (for example, zoning or historic approvals). If additional permits are needed, we provide guidance on next steps or can process them for an added fee upon request. Our team ensures all EV charging work meets current electrical code and manufacturer specifications.
