Murray EV Charger Installation
Trust Our Family of Pros to Equip Your Home with a Convenient EV Charger
The way we power our homes, as well as our vehicles, is changing fast. At Big Brothers Home Services, we're here to help you keep up with those changes, from routine electrical repairs to whole-home upgrades that improve safety, efficiency, and convenience. EV charger installation is one of the most exciting additions we offer, and it's one we approach with the same care and expertise we bring to every project. If you've made the switch to an EV or are planning to, count on us to make sure your home is ready.
When we come to your property, we look at how your electrical system, parking area, and driving habits all work together so we can recommend a setup that truly fits. For some Murray homeowners, that means a simple wall-mounted unit close to the garage door, while others prefer a charger positioned along a driveway or carport that several vehicles can share. Because our electricians also handle panels, wiring, and other upgrades throughout the Salt Lake area, we can fold your new charger into a bigger plan for improving comfort and safety in your home.
For EV charger installation services in Murray, give us a call at (385) 469-4940 or reach out online. Free estimates, financing, and payment plans are available, all to make investing in convenient at-home charging simple.
What’s Involved in EV Charger Installations?
If you’re bringing an EV charger to your home, it will generally be a Level 2 charger, which is the standard choice for residential use. In some cases, Level 1 chargers are appropriate as well.
As common as these technologies are, installing them involves more than plugging something into the wall. Here's how our licensed electricians handle it from start to finish.
- System assessment – We begin by evaluating your home's existing electrical setup to determine the best installation approach for your specific situation.
- Wiring and circuit installation – We run the appropriate wiring and install a dedicated circuit to safely support your new charger.
- Charger mounting – We install the unit in your preferred location, typically in the garage or on an exterior wall, making sure it’s a clean, secure fit.
- Testing and verification – Before we wrap up, we test everything thoroughly to confirm safe, reliable operation.
The result is a fast, efficient charging solution that's permanently and professionally integrated into your home's electrical infrastructure.
Before we recommend any equipment, we also talk through how you use your vehicle day to day. A commuter in Murray who drives into Salt Lake City during the week may need different charging times than someone who mostly runs short local errands. We explain realistic charging speeds, how a Level 2 EV charger installation compares to the portable charger that came with your car, and what kind of electrical demand you can expect when the charger is in use. That way you understand what will happen when the charger runs at the same time as your furnace, air conditioner, or other large appliances.
Because we work on homes throughout Murray and neighboring cities, we’re familiar with how older homes, newer construction, and finished basements can affect the path of new wiring. In some houses, the panel is already in the garage and the run is straightforward; in others, the panel may be on the opposite side of the home, which calls for a different routing plan. Our team maps out that path with you so you know where cables will go, what surfaces may need to be opened and repaired, and how we’ll keep the finished space looking clean when the project is complete.
What May Need to Be Addressed First
Every home is different, and some properties require a bit of groundwork before installing a charger. Our team will walk you through exactly what your home needs, then handle all of it.
Common considerations include:
- Panel capacity – A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt, 40- to 50-amp circuit. If your electrical panel is older or already operating near capacity, an upgrade may be needed before installation can proceed safely.
- Wiring and outlet updates – Homes without an appropriate outlet near the intended installation area will need new wiring run to support the charger.
- Garage or exterior wiring readiness – Depending on where you’d like the charger located, some additional wiring or weatherproofing work may be required.
The good news is that we're a full-service electrical team, so whether you need a panel upgrade, new wiring, or any other prep work, we can take on everything under one roof. No coordinating with multiple contractors is required.
Many Murray and Salt Lake area homes were built before electric vehicles were common, so their panels and branch circuits were sized with different demands in mind. When we review your system, we look at available amperage, the age and condition of the panel, and any recent additions such as hot tubs, air conditioners, or basement finishes that may already be drawing extra power. We then talk through practical options, such as modest panel upgrades, load management devices, or strategic circuit balancing, so you can choose a path that supports an electric vehicle charger installation while still fitting your budget and long-term plans for the home.
The Benefits of Charging Your EV at Home in Murray
Having a dedicated home EV charger is a game-changer for EV owners. Once you have one, it's hard to imagine going without it.
Here's what you can gain:
- Unmatched convenience – Forget hunting for available public charging stations or waiting in line. With an at-home charger, you simply plug in when you get back and wake up to a fully charged vehicle every morning. It becomes as routine as charging your phone.
- Faster charging speeds – Most vehicles charge completely overnight, so you're always starting your day with a full battery.
- Real cost savings – Home charging is generally more affordable than relying on public charging networks, where per-kilowatt-hour rates and session fees can add up quickly. Charging on your own electricity keeps more money in your pocket.
- Increased property value – As EVs become increasingly common, dedicated home charging infrastructure is quickly becoming a sought-after amenity that sets your property apart.
For many Murray households, charging at home also fits better with the rhythm of daily life than stopping at public stations along State Street or near I-15. You can plug in during off-peak evening hours when you are already home, which may help you take advantage of lower electricity rates depending on your utility plan. Over time, that habit can make owning an electric vehicle feel simpler and more predictable, because your car is fueling up while you sleep instead of taking extra time out of your day.
A home EV charging station can also support more than one vehicle when you plan ahead. We can talk with you about cable length, charger placement, and panel capacity if you expect to add another EV in the future or share the charger with family members. By thinking through those details now, you can avoid relocating equipment later and keep your garage or driveway organized while still having easy access to the charger from the spots where you usually park.
Cost, Timing, and What To Expect From Installation
When you are planning for an EV charger, it helps to know what the project will look like from start to finish. Most residential installations in areas like Murray, West Valley City, and West Jordan can be completed in a single visit once any needed panel or wiring upgrades are in place. We review your goals, gather a few details about your home, and then provide clear pricing before any work starts so you are comfortable with the plan.
Final costs depend on several factors, including the distance between your panel and the charger location, whether drywall or concrete needs to be opened, and whether your current electrical service can support the added load. During our visit, we explain how each of those pieces affects the overall price and talk about ways to keep the project efficient, such as choosing a charger location closer to the panel or combining electrical projects into one appointment. We then walk you through our financing and payment plan options so adding a Level 2 EV charger installation can fit more easily into your household budget.
On installation day, you can expect our technicians to arrive on time, protect nearby floors and surfaces, and keep you updated as work progresses. We shut off power only when needed, label any new breakers, and show you how to use the charger before we leave. Because we are licensed and familiar with local codes that apply along the Wasatch Front, we complete the job to meet current safety standards, and we are always available afterward if you have questions about settings, charging habits, or future upgrades.
