EV Charger Installation — Common Questions
How much does Level 2 EV charger installation cost in Homer Glen, IL?
Level 2 EV charger installation in Homer Glen typically costs $400–$1,200 for the electrical work, depending on how far the circuit needs to run and whether your panel needs an upgrade. The charger hardware itself is separate — it ranges from $200 (basic 32-amp unit) to $700+ (smart chargers with Wi-Fi and scheduling). Todd's HVAC provides written quotes with no hidden fees. Call 708-742-7935 for a same-day estimate.
Do I need a permit to install a home EV charger in Illinois?
Yes. In Illinois, installing a 240V circuit for a Level 2 EV charger requires an electrical permit and inspection by your local municipality. This is not optional — unpermitted work can void your homeowner's insurance and create problems when you sell your home. Todd's HVAC handles all permit applications and inspections as part of every installation.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging?
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V outlet and adds about 3–5 miles of range per hour — fine for plug-in hybrids but too slow for most full EVs. Level 2 charging uses a dedicated 240V circuit and adds 20–30 miles of range per hour, fully charging most EVs overnight. For daily drivers, Level 2 is the practical choice.
Does my electrical panel need to be upgraded for an EV charger?
Not always. Many homes in Homer Glen and the southwest Chicago suburbs have 200-amp panels with available capacity for a 50-amp EV circuit. Older homes with 100-amp panels or panels that are already near capacity may need an upgrade. Todd's HVAC assesses your panel during the on-site visit and tells you upfront whether an upgrade is needed and what it costs.
Can I get a rebate for installing an EV charger in Illinois?
Yes. ComEd offers rebates for Level 2 EV charger installation for residential customers — currently up to $500 for qualifying smart chargers. The federal 30C tax credit also covers 30% of the cost of EV charger equipment and installation (up to $1,000 for homeowners) through 2032. Todd's HVAC provides the documentation you need to apply for both. Ask about this when you call.
Which EV charger brands does Todd's HVAC install?
Todd's HVAC installs all major residential EV charger brands including ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox 40, Enel X JuiceBox, Tesla Wall Connector, Grizzl-E, Emporia EV Charger, and Wallbox Pulsar Plus. We can also install a hardwired circuit for any charger you purchase yourself.
How long does EV charger installation take?
Most Level 2 EV charger installations take 2–4 hours for the electrical work. If a panel upgrade is needed, plan for a full day. The permit inspection is scheduled separately and typically happens within 1–2 weeks of installation.
