Level 2 chargers, 240-volt circuits and load checks for garages and driveways.

About this service in Sanford

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 Sanford’s historic district, many homes have detached garages or no garage at all, so EV charging often means a longer circuit run or an outdoor-rated charger near the driveway. Older services may need an upgrade first. Newer homes south of downtown usually have attached garages and enough capacity after a load check. Ask the electrician about the route before choosing a charger location.

Permits

In Sanford city limits, permits go through City of Sanford Building Division (300 N Park Ave). 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.
