Our Achievements

Our Mission: Comfortable And Energy Efficient Homes

At IRBIS HVAC, our mission is to ensure that every home has an HVAC and plumbing system that provides maximum comfort and energy efficiency.

Home EV Charger Installation Services

Our EV Level 2 charger installation service gives San Jose homeowners a practical way to recharge overnight.

Level 2 EV Charger Installation

A 240V Level 2 charger adds roughly 20–30 miles of range per hour, making overnight charging standard for San Jose residential use.

Charger Installation in a Garage or Carport

We can hardwire the charger or connect it to an outlet. Weather-rated wall and pedestal setups are available for garages, carports, and driveways.

Panel Assessment & Upgrade

A common 40-amp Level 2 charger uses a dedicated 50A circuit. IRBIS upgrades older San Jose panels only when load calculations show it is needed.

Multi-Vehicle Charging Setup

For two-EV households, IRBIS can install separate circuits or a load-managed setup that shares available electrical capacity.

Why San Jose Homeowners Are Installing EV Chargers Now

San Jose drivers have taken to electric cars in large numbers, and the same is true across Santa Clara County and the Bay Area. The California 2035 zero-emission rule for new passenger vehicles, but federal action and ongoing court cases have put its future in doubt. A regular 120-volt outlet charges slowly, adding only 3–5 miles of range per hour. Programs like SVCE (Silicon Valley Clean Energy) also offer rebates for EV charger pre-wiring in Santa Clara County. A Level 2 unit adds about 20–30 miles. PG&E’s EV plans may also make overnight charging cheaper.

Does My Home Need a Panel Upgrade First?

Call Us Now

Most 40-amp Level 2 chargers are connected to their own 50A, 240V circuit. San Jose homes built after 1990 typically have a 200-amp panel with enough room, while homes built before 1980 with a 100-amp panel are more likely to need an upgrade. The panel's age is only part of the picture — IRBIS checks the actual household load and spare capacity before recommending any upgrade.

How EV Charger Installation Works

Every EV charger installation home assessment begins with panel capacity, then moves through four steps to final documentation.

Step 1

Panel assessment

A certified EV charger installer checks the panel, reviews household power use, and decides where the new cable should run.

Step 2

Permit

IRBIS takes care of the permit paperwork and city fees, follows the application through approval, then books the inspection.

Step 3

Installation

Our electrician installs the dedicated circuit, breaker, conduit, wiring, mounting hardware, and selected hardwired or plug-in charger.

Step 4

Test and documentation

Before leaving, the electrician checks that the charger works, connects the app, labels the circuit and hands over the paperwork.

Questions & Answers

Frequently
Asked Questions

How much does EV charger installation cost in San Jose?

Several things can change the price, especially the distance from the panel and whether digging is involved. IRBIS checks the job first and gives you the cost in writing.

Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in San Jose?

Yes. San Jose requires an electrical permit for Level 2 charging, and some equipment may also require a mechanical permit. IRBIS manages both.

Do I need a panel upgrade before installing an EV charger?

Not always. A load calculation determines whether the existing service can carry the charger. Load management or a lower charging rate may avoid an upgrade.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most straightforward home installations take a few hours to one day. Panel work, trenching, permit review, or inspection timing can extend the schedule.

Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector at my San Jose home?

Yes. IRBIS installs Tesla Wall Connectors and can confirm connector choice, circuit size, placement, Wi-Fi setup, and compatibility with your Tesla model.

What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging?

Level 1 uses 120 volts and adds about 3–5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 uses 240 volts and adds roughly 20–30 miles of range per hour.

Can I install an EV charger in an outdoor carport or driveway?

Yes. An outdoor charger can go on a wall or pedestal. We use weather-rated equipment and position the wiring where it will not be easily damaged.

What Affects Electrical Panel Installation Cost?

If you've asked a few electricians about electrical panel installation and gotten very different quotes, you're not alone. Panel work varies more than most homeowners expect — because the final cost depends on what your home actually needs, not just the panel itself. Understanding the key factors behind the price helps you evaluate quotes accurately and make a confident decision.
