Install EV Charger at Home
Installing an EV charger is increasingly practical as electric vehicles grow in popularity. A dedicated charger offers faster and more reliable charging than a standard outlet, saving time and minimizing daily inconveniences. It also helps your home’s electrical system safely handle the increased load, preventing issues like circuit overloads or outdated wiring.
We install Level 2 chargers compatible with all major EV brands, including Tesla, with minimal disruption. Special care is taken with Louisville’s diverse residential properties, including older or historic homes, to ensure compliance with local codes and preserve the original layout of your home.
A home EV charger isn’t just about keeping your car ready; it’s a modern, efficient, and safe addition that meets current needs and prepares you for future energy demands.

What to Know Before Installing an EV Charger in Louisville
When planning an EV charger installation, property owners often ask about:
- Location and access. Chargers are typically installed in garages, carports, or accessible outdoor areas with proper weather protection.
- Compliance. Installations must meet local safety codes, building regulations, and utility requirements.
- Maintenance. Regular inspections and upkeep help ensure consistent performance and reliability over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the entire EV charger installation process take, from start to finish?
The installation itself usually takes 4 to 8 hours for a standard Level 2 charger. However, the total project timeline, including the initial site visit, securing the Louisville Metro electrical permit, and final inspection, typically takes 1 to 3 weeks.
What is the best location for the charger to minimize installation costs?
The best location is as close as possible to your home's main electrical panel. The shorter the distance the 240-volt conduit and wiring have to run, the lower the material and labor cost will be.
Should I install the charger inside my garage or outside in the driveway?
Installing it inside the garage is preferred as it protects the unit and cable from weather, extending their lifespan, and generally provides a more secure charging environment. All Level 2 chargers are weather-rated for outdoor use if a garage isn't an option.

Our FAQ
Find Quick Answers About Our Work and Processes
-
Do we need to have a company representative be present when work is going on?You do not need to be present when work is completed. We are licensed, bonded, and insured for your protection, and all of our electricians are thoroughly screened and background checked. If you have questions about the work being completed, then we do encourage you to be present at the time the technician arrives. It comes down to your preferences, and we will work with you to accommodate your schedule.
-
How soon can we get scheduled?We do our very best to try and work within your time frame, allowing for all materials to be received so we can arrive, inspect, and install.
-
Do you offer any warranty on your work?Yes, NLMS does warranty our labor and materials. Materials come with manufacture warranties. Some manufactures offer a warranty up to 10 years, but most are at least backed by a 5-year limited warranty. NLMS also warranties our craftsmanship. Normal labor warranties are backed by 1 year; however, we believe all issues deserve a full inspection as to why the situation happened and if in any way the issue was installation related, NLMS will be happy to further investigate and work with you on providing a solution. You are in good hands with us, it is our reputation on the line and that cannot be compromised!

What are the advantages of LED lighting over Fluorescent or CFL?Most fluorescent lights and compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) contain mercury among other hazardous materials. As such, these lighting products must be disposed of carefully and properly, so that they do not contaminate landfills or cause danger to anyone. Fluorescent lights are also subject to flickering, and some people can be very sensitive to this, and even experience strained eyes, headaches, and even migraines. On the other hand, LED lights utilize solid-state technology, which enables stable dimming without flickering. Additionally, fluorescent lights can take a significant amount of time to reach their full brightness levels, especially when it is cold. LED lights, on the other hand, turn on instantly in any environment and temperature.
-
What’s better for lighting, incandescent, halogen or LED?LED lighting is more efficient than incandescent or halogen lighting by approximately 85%, partly because approximately 80-90% of energy emitted from those bulbs gets converted to heat instead of light. Because of this, LED lights do not require nearly as much energy to produce the same amount of light. By design, LED lights will also last about 50x longer than incandescent or halogen lighting.
