EV Charger Installation
EV Charger Installation in Lawrence, MA and the Merrimack Valley
Wake up to a full charge every morning with a safely installed home EV charger. Amaury Castillo Electric Corp handles the full installation, start to finish.
What Our Home EV Charger Installation Covers
Every EV charger installation starts with a look at your home's existing electrical service, since not every panel has the capacity for a new high-draw circuit. Our residential electrician team handles the full job, from the initial load assessment through the final inspection, building every system to safely handle your vehicle's demands and your panel's capacity, to code, so you are not left guessing whether the work was done right.
Our EV charger installation services include:
- Level 2 charger installation for garages, driveways, and carports
- Dedicated circuit installation sized correctly for your charger's amperage
- Electrical panel upgrades when your current panel cannot support the added load
- Charger placement planning for convenient cable reach to your parking spot
- Permit coordination and inspection so the installation meets local code
- Troubleshooting and repair for chargers installed by other contractors
Our Process
How Our EV Charger Installation Process Works
Getting a home charger installed does not need to be complicated. We walk every customer through the same straightforward process, from the first phone call to the moment your car charges overnight.
-
Step 1: Electrical Assessment
We evaluate your home's electrical panel, existing circuits, and available capacity to determine what your charger installation actually requires. This step also flags whether electrical panel upgrades are needed before the charger can go in.
-
Step 2: Charger and Location Planning
We help you choose a charger that fits your vehicle and charging habits, then plan the best location based on your parking setup and the shortest practical wiring run.
-
Step 3: Installation and Wiring
Our electrical contractor team runs the dedicated circuit, mounts the charger, and completes all wiring and connections to code. We treat every installation like the electrical service upgrade it often is, not a quick add-on.
-
Step 4: Testing and Final Walkthrough
We test the charger under load, confirm it communicates properly with your vehicle, and walk you through how to use it. Any permit sign-off or inspection is handled before we consider the job complete.
Why Homeowners Choose Us
Why Choose Amaury Castillo Electric Corp for Your EV Charger
Homeowners across the Merrimack Valley trust us with electrical work that has to be done right the first time. EV charger installation sits at a higher amperage than most household circuits, so experience matters here more than almost any other residential job.
-
Licensed Electrical Contractor Experience
With 17 years of industry experience, we understand how to size a circuit correctly and avoid the shortcuts that lead to tripped breakers or overheated wiring down the road.
-
Honest Panel Assessments
We tell you upfront if your panel needs an upgrade before a charger install, rather than forcing a charger onto a system that cannot safely support it.

Licensed, Insured, and Local
We are licensed and insured, and we offer a 10% discount for military members and seniors. As a local electrician based in Lawrence, we know the towns we serve and show up when we say we will.
Panel Capacity and Cost Factors to Know Before You Install
Most Level 2 home EV chargers draw more power than any other single appliance in the house, which is why panel capacity is the first thing we check. Homes with an older 100 amp panel often need a 200 amp service upgrade before a charger can be added safely, especially if the home also runs central air, electric heat, or other large appliances.
A few factors that affect your installation:
- Distance from the electrical panel to the charger location
- Whether your current panel has open breaker slots and sufficient amperage
- Charger amperage rating (32 amp, 40 amp, and 48 amp units each have different circuit needs)
- Garage, driveway, or exterior mounting requirements
- Permit and inspection requirements in your specific town
- Future plans, like adding a second vehicle or charger down the road
Common Questions
EV Charger Installation FAQs
Does my home need a panel upgrade to install an EV charger?
Not always. Many homes with a 200 amp panel and available capacity can add a charger without changes. Older homes with 100 amp service often need electrical panel upgrades first, which we will identify during the initial assessment.
How long does a typical EV charger installation take?
Most home EV charger installation jobs take between three and six hours, depending on the distance from your panel to the charger location and whether any panel work is needed. Jobs that include an electrical service upgrade take longer and may require a separate inspection.
Do I need a permit for a home EV charger?
Yes, most towns in Massachusetts require an electrical permit and inspection for new circuit installation, including EV chargers. We handle the permit filing and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
What electrician should I call for EV charger installation near me?
Look for a licensed electrical contractor with experience sizing circuits for high-amperage equipment, not just a general handyman. Amaury Castillo Electric Corp has installed electrical service upgrades and dedicated circuits across the Merrimack Valley for 17 years.

Mr. Castillo was prompt for the scheduled appointment, he came equipped with his tools/van/uniform. He went to work immediately, friendly, knew where to trouble shoot the electrical problem, corrected the problem within one hour of arrival while running down to the basement and up to the second floor bedroom several times where my daughters lights had gone out. I recommend this electrical expert to repair your electrical issues and he can also communicate in spanish , I give this company five stars *****!

I recently had several electrical issues at my home and was fortunate to find Amubury. He arrived promptly and was able to accurately diagnose the problems within minutes. I was incredibly impressed that he was able to fix everything in just a couple of hours. He even took the initiative to run out and purchase a necessary replacement part himself, which kept the process moving efficiently without any delays. Throughout the entire experience, Amubury was professional, courteous, and highly efficient. What stood out most was how thorough he was—he took the time to clearly explain the issues and walked me through the solutions, making sure all of my questions were answered. His pricing was very reasonable given the high quality and speed of his work. I was genuinely impressed and would highly recommend his services to anyone in the area. I will certainly be calling him again for any future electrical needs!

I was lucky enough to meet Amaury when I moved into my “new” home almost 10 years ago and he has been my go- to for everything electrical since! From installing a new fan on a cathedral ceiling to recessed and living room spotlights to changing out fan switches in bathrooms - he has done it all. Fast, responsive, fair and courteous- I really can’t say enough about Amaury, he truly is the BEST. Thanks Amaury!

We lucked out when I found Amaury on Angie's List years ago. Since then, he's fixed issues that have cropped up, installed a generator hook-up, and then replaced our entire (very old) electrical panel. He's responsive, thorough, knowledgable, insightful, voluntarily explains things and is fairly priced. Cannot recommend him enough!

Couldn’t be happier with our electric panel upgrade! From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free. Amaury was knowledgeable, respectful of our home, and did excellent work. Everything works perfectly and the upgrade gives us real peace of mind. I’d absolutely use them again.

Amaury quickly came over to check over the electrical wiring for our generator and electrical box, making a couple of thoughtful suggestions and quickly ensuring that we had heat in the event of a power outage in the Jan '26 snowstorm. Would recommend Amaury for any number of electrical work.

Amaury was super knowledgeable, efficient (he didn’t waste time), and I appreciate that he was conscious of the neat and clean look of the job putting in some complicated ceiling lighting. He asked me my opinion along the way so as to get just what I wanted while completing the job. And he left no mess behind. Thank you Amaury- first time using your service. Looking forward to having you as a reliable electrician for future jobs.
