About this service in Altamonte Springs

Level 2 charger installation in garages and driveways, new 240-volt circuits, load calculations and panel upgrades when needed. Tell us about your car, charger and panel and we’ll connect you with an independent electrical contractor.

In Altamonte Springs condos and apartments, EV charging depends on the association or property owner: shared parking, meter locations and billing all need to be worked out. In single-family homes, older 100-amp services may need load management or an upgrade before a Level 2 charger. Start with a load calculation.

Permits

In Altamonte Springs city limits, permits go through City of Altamonte Springs building department. Outside city limits, through Seminole County Building Division (Building Permits Online). The contractor normally pulls the permit.

Frequently asked questions

Yes for a Level 2 charger. Installing a new 240-volt circuit is electrical work that requires a permit from your local permit office. The electrician checks the panel, sizes the circuit and breaker to the charger, pulls the permit and schedules the inspection. A Level 1 charger that plugs into an existing 120-volt outlet needs no installation, but the outlet should be in good condition and not shared with other heavy loads.
