Level 2 240V chargers for any electric car in your Plainfield garage. We install Tesla Wall Connectors, Wallbox, ChargePoint Home Flex, and Universal NACS units.

EV adoption in Plainfield has been climbing for years. New Tesla, Rivian, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Chevy Bolt owners all need a Level 2 240V charger to fill the battery overnight. A standard wall outlet only runs Level 1 charging, and that adds about 4 to 5 miles of range per hour. A Level 2 unit adds 25 to 40 miles per hour. Much better.
We install every popular brand: Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, ChargePoint Home Flex, Emporia, Grizzl-E, and Universal NACS adapters. Most jobs include a fresh 50 or 60 amp double-pole breaker, new wire from the panel to the garage, a dedicated 240V outlet or hardwired connection, and a tidy mount on the wall.
Before we install, we run a panel load calculation. Many newer Plainfield homes have a 200 amp panel with plenty of headroom for a Level 2 charger. Older homes with a 100 amp panel sometimes need an upgrade first, or a load-managing charger that throttles based on current draw. We tell you which one fits your house before the work starts.
We do the work to code and walk you through the ComEd electric vehicle rate plan if you want time-of-use billing. Most installs are a single-day job. Tesla Wall Connector install price depends on charger choice and the distance from panel to garage. We quote the full install in writing before the breaker goes in.

Quick answers to the questions a homeowners ask us most.
Yes. A Level 2 charger adds a dedicated 240V circuit and a new breaker. We size the wire, breaker, and ground to the current code and test the charger before you use it.
Probably yes. Most Plainfield homes built after 2000 have a 200 amp panel with plenty of capacity for a Level 2 charger. Older homes with a 100 amp panel sometimes need a panel upgrade first, or we install a load-managing charger that automatically throttles when the rest of the house is drawing power.
We do a quick panel load calc as part of every EV charger quote so you know up front what your panel will and will not handle.
Nine steps to take before the next big thunderstorm rolls through Will County.
Plainfield sits on open prairie and catches the full force of every storm system that crosses northern Illinois. Big thunderstorms hit every summer. Tornado history runs deep here, with the 1990 F5 still in living memory. Spending an hour on the items below before the next severe weather alert will keep your home safer and your power running longer.
A whole-home surge protector at the main panel has a lifespan of 5 to 7 years and may have already taken a hit you never noticed. Check the indicator light and replace the unit if any LED is out.
Press the test button on every smoke and carbon monoxide detector. Swap the backup batteries if the chirp is weak. After a power loss the alarms must run on battery for at least 7 days.
The sump pump should be plugged into a dedicated GFCI circuit, not shared with the freezer or the laundry. Confirm the GFCI trips and resets cleanly so the pump runs the moment the basement floods.
Branches over the service-entrance wire will rip the mast off the house in a high wind. Cut anything within 10 feet of the meter and the line. ComEd will trim the utility side if you call them.
Walk to the meter and look for rust streaks, loose conduit, or a meter that wiggles in its socket. Water gets in fast during a storm and a loose meter base can arc when the wind shakes it.
At the first severe weather alert, plug in every phone, tablet, laptop, and portable battery bank. A power loss in the middle of charging is no help. Top everything off while the lights are still on.
Plug critical electronics like the TV, the home office computer, and the modem into a quality TVSS surge strip. This is a second layer of protection below the whole-home unit at the panel.
Walk the family to the electrical panel and show them the main breaker. If the storm causes a fire or a downed line, throwing the main is the first move. Practice once when the weather is calm.
If the power does not return after the storm passes and ComEd shows your area restored, the problem is on your side of the meter. Save (630) 687-3335 in your phone now so we are one tap away.
