Trusted EV Charging Station Installation in Des Moines, IA

As the number of electric vehicles on the roads of Des Moines, IA, continues to grow, so does the need for convenient and reliable home charging solutions. Holt Plumbing & Heating, Inc. is your trusted partner for professional EV charging station installation. A dedicated home charging station offers a faster, safer, and more convenient way to charge your electric vehicle compared to a standard wall outlet. Our licensed electricians have helped many Des Moines residents make a seamless transition to EV ownership by providing expert installation services tailored to their specific vehicle and home electrical system.

The Advantages of a Professional Home Charger Installation

While you can charge an EV with a standard 120-volt outlet (Level 1 charging), a professionally installed 240-volt (Level 2) charging station offers significant benefits. A Level 2 charger can reduce your charging time by more than half, ensuring your vehicle is always ready to go when you are. Furthermore, a dedicated circuit for your EV charger enhances the safety of your home’s electrical system, preventing overloads and potential hazards.

Our EV Charger Installation Process

Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your home’s electrical capacity. We will inspect your electrical panel to ensure it can handle the additional load of an EV charger. In some cases, an Electrical Panel Upgrade may be necessary to safely accommodate the new charger. Our electricians will then work with you to determine the optimal location for your charging station, considering factors such as the length of your vehicle’s charging cable and your daily parking habits.

Choosing the Right Charger for Your Needs

There are many different types of EV chargers on the market, and our team can help you select the one that is best suited for your vehicle and lifestyle. We have experience installing a wide range of charger brands and models, from basic units to smart chargers that offer features like remote monitoring and scheduling. We will ensure that the charger we install is fully compatible with your vehicle and provides the charging speed you desire.

Frequently Asked Questions About EV Charging Station Installation

1. How much faster is a Level 2 charger compared to a Level 1 charger?

A Level 2 charger typically provides about 10 to 60 miles of range per hour of charging, while a Level 1 charger only provides about 2 to 5 miles of range per hour. This means a Level 2 charger can fully charge most EVs overnight.

2. Can I install an EV charger myself?

Due to the high voltage and complexity of the installation, we strongly recommend that you hire a licensed electrician to install your EV charging station. This ensures the installation is safe, up to code, and does not void your vehicle’s warranty.

3. Will I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

Whether or not you need a panel upgrade depends on the current capacity of your panel and your home’s total electrical load. Our electricians will perform a load calculation to determine if an upgrade is necessary.

4. Are there any tax credits or rebates available for EV charger installations?

There are often federal, state, and local incentives available for installing an EV charging station. Our team can provide you with information on the current incentives available to Des Moines residents.

5. Can you install any brand of EV charger?

Yes, our electricians have experience installing a wide variety of EV charger brands and models. We can help you choose the best charger for your specific vehicle and needs.

"I highly recommend Holt! I needed my water heater replaced, and they came out and took the time to discuss all of my options and to make sure that I fully understood everything about the project. They did quality work, with all of the plumbing in traditional copper. That was important to me because I didn't want any of that PEX in my home! My entire basement looks cleaner and tidier because of the work they did! I was also very impressed that they didn't talk down to me as a woman. I like to do my own appliance maintenance and repairs when possible, and they respected my desire to understand everything about the installation and the prospective maintenance into the future."

"Holt heating and air conditioning installed our heating and air conditioning system and now we have the maintenance program with them. All the different people we'd have had out to do the semi annual maintenance have been courteous and professional in there attire and speaking to us. I would use them for other services in a heartbeat."

"Looking for a no fluff, no BS review of Holt? I got you... Over the past 15 years I've been a home owner, We've tried more companies that I could count. Lots of shady businesses out there... We were coming of a brand new HVAC installation just two years ago and the previous company completely botched it. It had problems within a month of installation and they were completely MIA. We ran it as long as we could to try and recoup the some cost, but it was a constant worry. Decided to give Holt a chance and we're so glad we did! Yes, they were more expensive, but it's the classic "you get what you pay for". 100% worth it! It's so hard to find a company that has the perfect mix of quality, punctuality, and honesty and Holt nails it. I genuinely appreciate their level of service and will pay a bit more to have someone I have the utmost confidence in doing the right thing. You should definitely give them a look if you need heating, cooling, or plumbing work."
