Services

What we install in shared garages

Condo, HOA and apartment garages. We don't do single-family chargers.

  • Load calculation and capacity study

    We read the main service, the meter room and the garage subpanel, and write down the spare amps with the method shown.

    • Peak demand from utility data or a month of recording

    • Delivered to the board in writing

  • Shared charging with load management

    Networked chargers that divide the building's spare power between the cars plugged in.

    • More stalls on the same service

    • Slower charging when many cars plug in

  • Charger stalls, one by one

    Wall units and pedestals, mounted, tested and labeled for each stall.

    • Reserved circuits where the survey allows them

    • Cable routes that keep aisles clear

  • Metering and billing setup

    Per-stall metering and the billing service your board chooses, set up with the chargers.

    • Works with the software your board picks

    • A one-page guide for residents

  • Service and switchgear work

    A larger service or new switchgear, only where the survey calls for it, with the utility coordinated.

    • The utility's schedule sets the dates

    • Outage notices in writing

  • EV-ready conduit and capacity

    Conduit and breaker space now, so adding a stall later is chargers and wire.

    • Sized from the survey

    • Priced on its own in the proposal

The job, in order

From the first call to the first charge

  1. 01

    Step 1: Survey and load calculation

    Two of us measure the electrical room, the garage route and the building's peak demand.

  2. 02

    Step 2: A proposal for the board

    Each layout with its scope, what is and isn't included, and the billing options beside it.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Board vote and permit

    The board approves; we prepare the permit and any utility application for the association to sign.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Utility steps

    If service work is needed, the utility's schedule sets the dates, and residents hear about any outage in writing first.

  5. 05

    Step 5: Install and inspection

    We install, test and call the inspection. Nothing goes live for residents before it passes.

  6. 06

    Step 6: Hand-over

    A walkthrough for the property manager and a one-page guide for residents on plugging in and being billed.

EV-ready

Conduit now, chargers when residents ask

Digging up a garage floor twice is the expensive way to do this. If the board isn't ready for twenty chargers, it can still run the conduit, set aside breaker space and install the first two. The proposal prices the make-ready work on its own line, so the board can vote on it separately.

What make-ready covers

  • Conduit to the stalls the survey marks for later

  • Breaker space and a feeder sized for the plan

  • Labels, so the next electrician finds what was left

Not sure which of these your building needs?

Start with the survey. It tells the board what the building has spare, and the proposal says what each option costs.
