Installing a Level 2 EV charger at your Calgary home provides the convenience of fast charging overnight. Most Level 2 chargers add 25-30 miles of range per hour, fully charging your vehicle in 8-10 hours. We install all major brands including Tesla, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E, and more.
Many homes require a panel upgrade to 200A service or a Vehicle Energy Management System to safely accommodate an EV charger along with other household electrical needs. We perform load calculations during consultation to determine if an upgrade is necessary and handle all permitting and inspection requirements.
Level 2 chargers operate at 240 volts and provide significantly faster charging than standard 120-volt outlets. While a standard outlet might take 20+ hours to fully charge an EV, Level 2 chargers typically complete a full charge in 8-10 hours, making overnight charging practical and convenient. This eliminates range anxiety and ensures your vehicle is ready when you need it.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your electrical panel capacity and home's electrical load. If your panel can't safely support an EV charger, we'll discuss panel upgrade options . We install the charger with proper GFCI protection, weatherproofing for outdoor installations, and ensure all work meets current electrical codes. Our installations include proper permits and pass City of Calgary inspections.
We work with all major EV charger brands and can help you select the right charger for your vehicle and needs. Whether you drive a Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, or any other EV, we ensure compatibility and optimal charging performance. Many modern chargers include smart features like scheduling, energy monitoring, and smartphone apps for remote control.
EV charger installations require proper GFCI protection, appropriate wire sizing, and correct circuit breaker selection. We ensure all installations meet Canadian Electrical Code requirements and City of Calgary bylaws. Proper installation prevents electrical hazards and ensures reliable, safe charging for years to come.
Every project includes these essential elements to ensure quality, safety, and your complete satisfaction.

We just had power installed to our land and required a temporary panel installed. We found Nathan recommended on FB, so I called him. Nathan arranged everything from the permit to install. He even checked with me to ensure he was using the right materials.

Nathan was professional and friendly! He installed my doorbell camera and floodlights perfectly. He was very reliable and even took extra time to help with a few other things. I highly recommend him!

I called the Urban Electrician for a quick job I needed done at my home. They got me scheduled in quickly for a free quote, and Nathan got the job done that same day. Quick, great customer service, and quality work. I already got a quote for the next job I'll be asking for their help with!

Nathan has done several jobs for us in the past couple years: trouble shooting odd flicking lights in our home (yes, he figured out the issue!), adding new outlets, moving light switches and installing a new chandelier (including moving the electrical box in the ceiling).
