EV Charger Installation in Garland, TX

Professional EV Charger Installation in Garland

Garland’s significant 1960s–1980s single-family housing creates unique installation considerations, with many homes requiring load calculations and potential panel upgrades. The mix of attached garages and older alleys in some neighborhoods means varied installation approaches. We handle permits through the City of Garland Building Inspection department and coordinate with both GP&L municipal utility and Oncor edge territories as needed.

Common Garland Install Scenarios

• New 14-50 in garage - Popular option for most single-family homes
• Hardwired EVSE - Dedicated charging solution for committed EV owners
• Panel upgrade or load management for older service - Often needed in pre-1980s homes
• Detached garage trench with permit/inspection - Common in older neighborhood layouts
