From the mid-century originals along Redbud Trail to the glass-walled new builds on the ridgelines, a Level 2 charger on its own dedicated circuit — sized to your panel, run cleanly across the lot, and built to code, with one clear price agreed before we begin.
The car is rarely the fire risk — the connection is. A growing share of home-charging fires start at the outlet or breaker: loose terminals, the wrong wire gauge, a NEMA 14-50 plug put in by someone without EV experience. Hours of continuous load bake the insulation brittle and wear the breaker out early, so it trips before its time. Independent testing has clocked improperly installed chargers at 350°F before they caught fire.
Plenty of Austin homes — especially those built before the mid-1980s — run a panel already near full. Add 40 to 60 amps for a charger and you can push it past what it can safely carry. We run a load calculation first and tell you straight: charger only, charger with Static Power Management, or charger plus a panel upgrade.
An EV circuit needs the right wire gauge and breaker, proper grounding, weather-rated parts outdoors, and a permit and inspection where your city requires it. Skip those and a faulty connection can surge straight into your EV and fry its onboard charger — a repair north of $10,000 your dealer won’t cover. We build it to NEC code, the first time.
Drive the streets off Westlake Drive or Redbud Trail and you’ll pass more Teslas and Rivians than you will gas stations — West Lake Hills took to the electric car early. So the question here is rarely whether you want a proper Level 2 charger. It’s whether the wiring behind it is ready for a car that pulls a heavy, steady load for hours, every single night. That part is ours to get right.
The hillside is really two housing stories, and the right install respects which one is yours. The newer custom estates — the glass-walled builds on the ridgelines, the modern homes tucked along Yaupon Valley and the canyons — usually arrive with roomy 200-amp (or larger) service and a garage that takes a charger easily. The original mid-century and ranch homes, many from the 1960s and ’70s, often run a smaller, older panel that’s already carrying a full house. We look first, and tell you plainly which one you have.
A microwave spikes for a minute. An electric car holds its full draw for six, eight, even ten hours at a stretch — the heaviest sustained load most homes ever ask of their wiring, and it runs while you sleep. Done right, the dedicated circuit carries it without a flicker and you forget it’s there. Our job is to size that circuit for the car in the garage now and the second one that tends to follow, so the charger simply disappears into the routine.
A West Lake Hills lot can put real distance between the panel and where you actually park — a garage down a steep drive, a carport across the motor court, a future charger at the guest casita or the boat dock. Long runs are their own craft: the wire has to be sized up so it carries full current the whole way without losing a thing along the distance. We plan the route, size it for the run, and install it cleanly, so the charger on the far end charges at full speed.
Add a charger to a home already running a pool, a spa, central air across a few thousand square feet, and maybe a second EV, and an older panel can run out of room quickly. It doesn’t always mean a service upgrade. Certified-installer load management — or a SPAN smart panel — can hold the car comfortably under your panel’s ceiling and balance it against everything else, often letting you add charging without enlarging the service. When an upgrade genuinely is the better path, you’ll see it laid out beside the option that avoids it, and you choose with the whole picture in front of you.
Some installs in West Lake Hills call for a permit and an inspection; many don’t. When yours does, the paperwork and the scheduling are ours, along with any coordination Austin Energy needs for a service change — so the only thing you do is park and plug in. No phone numbers, no forms handed back to you.
It starts with a look at three things: how much room your panel has, the distance from it to where you charge, and the unit you want on the wall. Out of that comes one written price, settled before a single wire is pulled — nothing discovered halfway, no total that creeps. And if spreading the cost out would help, we’ll walk you through financing — only if you bring it up.
Plenty of outfits bolt the charger to the wall, hand over an invoice, and leave the permit and inspection for you to sort out. Not here. One price, one crew, one company on the hook for the whole job — from the first load calculation to the inspector’s final sign-off.
On a fuller mid-century panel — common in the original 1960s and ’70s homes here — certified-installer software holds the charger safely under your panel’s ceiling, paired with a right-sized breaker, so you can often add charging with no service upgrade at all.
Five years of coverage on the install, labor and all, riding on top of the charger’s own factory warranty. If anything we wired ever acts up, we’re the ones who come back — with no fine print waiting to say otherwise.
Sized for the car in the garage now and whatever joins it — a faster charge rate, a second EV, a home battery later. On these lots that often means planning the run and the panel headroom now, so the next step isn’t a tear-out.
‘It turns on’ isn’t our finish line. We run the charger under real load, pair its app and Wi-Fi, and don’t pack up until you can set schedules and charge limits yourself.
When a job needs a permit and inspection, the paperwork and scheduling are ours — along with any coordination Austin Energy wants for a service change. It happens in the background, folded into the work.
Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Wallbox, a hardwired unit, or a plain NEMA 14-50 outlet — we fit the charger that matches your car and your garage, not whatever a distributor wanted to move this month.
We do the work and walk you through the real options, so the decision stays yours and it fits the house in front of us — not the largest line item we could write.So the plan you approve is the one your home genuinely calls for.
We fit a single tier of equipment — the top-tier names we’ll warranty for years — because in a home like yours a bargain breaker or builder-grade device is a false economy that surfaces later.So what’s behind your walls today is still performing decades from now.
We’re not paid to hurry. We protect finishes, keep a tidy site, give the work the hours it truly needs, and treat a Stenger or a glass-walled hillside home the way it deserves.So the result is right the first time — and made right, on us, if it ever isn’t.
No mystery, no pressure, nothing sprung on you halfway through.
We look at your panel’s capacity, the run from the panel out to where you actually park, and the charger you want — then run a load calculation, whether you’re in a glass-walled new build or a 1960s mid-century original.
One number, in writing. Permit needed? We pull it. Coordination with Austin Energy? Ours. You don’t place a single call.
Many charger-ready West Lake Hills homes are finished in a single visit once you approve. We mount the charger, run the dedicated circuit, test it under load, and show you how it works. Then you plug in at home for good.

Bobby and Jose installed a home charger and a new subpanel, did excellent work, and were helpful and informative the whole way. We’ll be calling them again.
Danny listened to our goals and built a solution that future-proofs our 45-year-old home. The crew was thorough and professional, and Nicole handled the city permits and inspections for a seamless experience.
Your install is covered for up to five years. The charger itself keeps its factory warranty (four years on a Tesla, three on a ChargePoint, others vary). If a covered charger fails or is damaged, the maker ships the replacement and we cover the labor, the wiring, and the reinstall at no added cost — within 24 hours of your call. Decide to move up to a newer charger mid-coverage? We swap it in with no labor charge.
