Professional Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Durham
On September 1, 2026, our Raleigh branch completed a Level 2 EV charger installation in Durham for Duke Energy - Allumia. The customer supplied the charging unit, and our licensed team handled the dedicated circuit, protective devices, conduit, wiring, and permitting to deliver a clean, code-compliant setup that’s ready for daily charging.
What We Installed
This Level 2 installation was designed to provide reliable 240V power with robust protection and neat routing. Key details include:
- Dedicated 240V circuit for the EV charger to ensure safe and consistent charging performance.
- 50A GFCI breaker for enhanced protection and compliance with current electrical safety standards.
- #6 AWG conductors (THHN) to support the load requirements of modern Level 2 charging.
- 3/4-inch PVC conduit for durable, tidy, and protected wire management along the run.
- Selective use of 6/3 NM-B where appropriate to complete the circuit transition cleanly.
- Commissioning and verification so the customer’s charger was ready to use at the end of the visit.
Every component was chosen to match the charger’s specifications and the home’s electrical capacity, prioritizing safety, performance, and a clean finished look.
