Bringing home an electric vehicle is exciting, but relying on a standard 120-volt garage outlet quickly proves impractical for daily driving needs. Gelinas HVAC Services has installed Level 2 EV charging stations across Scarborough since 1994, running dedicated 240-volt high-amp circuits for fast overnight charging. Our licensed electricians work under Maine Electrical License #MS60022397, setting up charging hardware aligned with ENERGY STAR EV charger standards. Members enjoy savings on electrical projects through our Home Advantage Membership. Call (207) 672-2801 to consult with an electrician about same-day scheduling or a free estimate.

We install properly sized conductors, conduits, and heavy-duty receptacles or hardwired charging stations.
We mount charging units at convenient vehicle access locations in garages or exterior parking areas.
We incorporate GFCI protection and dedicated circuit breakers in accordance with electrical codes.
We verify charging rates and test unit communication with your electric vehicle upon completion.
If main service capacity is limited, we outline options for an electrical panel upgrade to support fast home charging.

Cut the Cost of Your Scarborough EV Charger Installation

Charging an electric vehicle off a standard garage outlet gets old fast, which is why most owners move to a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Our Home Advantage Membership waives your minimum service fee, and if your panel needs upsizing to carry the load, another $250 comes off. The project can be spread out with financing, available to members and non-members alike on approved credit.

Gelinas HVAC: Your Source for Plumbing, HVAC, and Electrical Services

Charging an electric vehicle with a standard 120-volt wall outlet can take over 24 hours, whereas a dedicated Level 2 EV charger restores full battery range overnight. Gelinas HVAC Services has installed Level 2 EV charging stations across Scarborough since 1994, running dedicated 240-volt circuits for fast, safe charging. Operating under Maine Electrical License #MS60022397, our licensed electricians set up equipment that meets ENERGY STAR EV charger standards. Members save on electrical services through our Home Advantage Membership. Call (207) 672-2801 to speak with a representative about scheduling an installation estimate.

We are a local, family-owned team experienced in high-voltage charging circuits, ensuring your home EV charger operates safely and efficiently.

Do I need an electrical panel upgrade to install a Level 2 EV charger? Not always. We conduct load calculations to determine if your current panel has capacity for a 40- or 50-amp charger circuit.

Should I choose a hardwired EV charger or a plug-in NEMA outlet? Hardwiring provides faster charging rates and cleaner aesthetics. Installing a NEMA 14-50 receptacle offers flexibility to swap charger units later.

How fast will a Level 2 EV charger power my vehicle at home? Level 2 chargers add 20 to 30 miles of range per hour, providing a full battery charge overnight for daily commutes.

Can your electricians install an EV charger I purchased online? Yes, tell us your charger model and amperage ratings, and we will install the appropriate circuit and wiring.

Does Gelinas HVAC pull permits for home EV charger installation in Scarborough? Yes, we secure all municipal electrical permits and arrange final inspections.

What if I plan to install a heat pump or hot tub in the future? Inform us during your EV charger consult so we can size your electrical service for future home additions simultaneously.

Installing a dedicated Level 2 EV charger at home delivers fast, convenient overnight charging for your electric vehicle. Before installation, our licensed electricians perform load calculations to determine if your panel requires an electrical panel upgrade to support the new 40- or 50-amp circuit. If you are planning additional electrical projects, we can complete switches and outlets work or dedicated electrical installation during the same visit.

Installing a Level 2 home charger is usually the right move under these circumstances:

Your standard Level 1 cord adds only 3 to 5 miles of range per hour, which fails to cover daily commutes.
You are buying an EV and want fast charging ready before taking delivery.
You want to take advantage of lower off-peak utility rates by charging overnight automatically.
Cold winter weather reduces battery range, requiring faster daily charging recovery.
You are planning broader electrical upgrades like a heat pump or panel replacement.

Sizing your panel for both EV charging and heat pump equipment at the same time saves real money on installation. Call (207) 672-2801 to discuss your setup.

For over 30 years, Gelinas HVAC Services has helped Southern Maine homeowners navigate complex home upgrades with complete confidence. From precision sizing to code-compliant installation, our licensed team manages every detail of your EV charger installation in-house. Call (207) 672-2801 to speak with our local specialists and plan your project.

EV Charging Problems We Solve

Charging an electric vehicle places a continuous, heavy electrical load on your home’s electrical panel for hours at a time. Out in Scarborough homes, we frequently see dangerous DIY Level 2 charger hookups that overheat standard outlets or trip main breakers. Here are the electrical hazards we eliminate during EV charger installations.

Adding a 40-amp or 50-amp Level 2 charger to an already maxed-out panel causes frequent main breaker trips and wire insulation melting. We calculate electrical load capacity, perform panel upgrades or install smart load-management modules that balance EV charging with household power demand.

Standard 240-volt dryer outlets are not rated for continuous, maximum-amperage draw over long hours, leading to melted plastic housings and loose terminal arcing. We install industrial-grade NEMA 14-50 receptacles or hardwire EV charging stations directly using high-temperature copper conductors.

Running high-voltage EV charging cables through unarmored garage wall penetrations without proper conduit exposes wiring to physical damage and water exposure. We run heavy-duty metal conduit, install dedicated GFCI circuit breakers, and weatherproof outdoor charging stations for complete charger safety.
