Information
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular every year, and for good reason — they’re cost-efficient, environmentally friendly, and convenient. But to get the most out of your EV, you need a reliable charging solution at home. At Mile High Plumbing Electric Air, we provide professional EV charger installation services in Arvada and surrounding areas, giving you the speed, safety, and convenience of charging your vehicle right in your own garage or driveway.
Why Install a Home EV Charger?
While you can technically charge your vehicle from a standard household outlet, it’s slow and not practical for daily use. A professionally installed Level 2 charger provides faster charging times, better efficiency, and peace of mind knowing your electrical system can handle the demand.
Benefits of a home EV charger include:
Faster Charging – Fully charge your vehicle overnight with a Level 2 system.
Convenience – Plug in at home and skip public charging stations.
Safety – Protect your electrical system and your vehicle with a dedicated, professionally installed circuit.
Increased Home Value – EV-ready homes are more attractive to buyers.
Cost Efficiency – Take advantage of lower overnight electricity rates to save money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a standard outlet to charge my EV?

Most EVs are compatible with Level 2 chargers, though adapters may be needed for some models. We’ll help you choose the right unit.
Will a charger installation raise my electric bill?
Yes, but the cost is often offset by savings from not buying gasoline. Many homeowners charge during off-peak hours to reduce costs.

Most EV chargers last 10 years or more with proper installation and maintenance.
