EV Charger Installation in Jenkintown, PA

What Is EV Charger Installation?

EV charger installation involves safely installing a dedicated charging station in your home—most commonly a Level 2 charger—for faster and more efficient charging. Unlike standard wall outlets, Level 2 chargers require proper electrical capacity, dedicated circuits, and professional installation to meet safety and code requirements.

Many homes in Jenkintown and surrounding Montgomery County communities were not originally designed for EV charging. A licensed electrician ensures your electrical system can safely support a charger and upgrades components when necessary.

Level 1 vs. Level 2 Home Chargers

Level 1 chargers use standard outlets but charge slowly and are best for limited driving needs. Level 2 chargers provide significantly faster charging and are the preferred option for most homeowners. Wescott Electrical helps you determine the right charger type based on your vehicle, driving habits, and electrical capacity.

We used Danny for a wide variety of jobs after we purchased our home in Malvern. Danny installed new recessed lighting, ran new electrical for our cooktop, fixed and installed new outlets / switches, and even installed our smart doorbell all for a great price! Danny was great in getting out to us in a quick turnaround to run new electrical for our cooktop before the appliance company delivered it so we could use it in time for the holidays. We’ve had no issues with any of the work Danny has done, he always showed up on time and left the area he worked in clean. We always tell our friends if they need an electrician to call Danny!!

Wescott electrical is a throw back to an era when there was a local company that was great at what they do and cared about their community. After our first project we were impressed with the work, the fairness and transparency of their quote and by their ability to balance professionalism with a personable and kind demeanor. We have continued to use them whenever the need arises. Their work is clean and quick. They care about what the job and their clients. And it’s wonderful that they’re even great with our little one, who is fascinated by the work they’re doing. We couldn’t recommend them more.

Wescott Electrical is the best electrician I have used in over 40 years of owning properties in our area. Knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and fairly priced. As opposed to larger “mill” operations, you get personal attention, better prices, and better work. They wont try to talk you into things you really don’t need. I had them handle our rehab project in Ambler and they did a great job at a great price. As a former electrical engineer, I know quality work when I see it – and that is what Wescott Electrical gave me. Highly recommended!
