The Benefits of Having an EV Charger at Home

One of the biggest benefits of having Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) at home is increased convenience. There's no need to be on the road to work and realize you need to find a charging station nearby. Your car can charge up overnight while you're asleep and be ready for a new day.

Eliminating the need to find a charging station also eliminates the need to pay for getting an electric car charged on a regular basis. Owners can find an immediate return on their investment in EVSE every time they charge up at home rather than paying someone else.

Furthermore, the presence of EVSE can be a long-term investment. As the market for electric cars grows, the value of having EVSE in a home is likely to be seen by prospective buyers. The result may well be a higher return when it's time to sell the house.

Choosing the Right EV Charger for Your Home

When it comes to installing an EV charger at home, it's important to choose the right one to meet your needs. With various options available, our Santa Barbara electricians can help you select the best EV charger for your specific vehicle and charging requirements.

Factors to consider when choosing an EV charger include:

  • Charging speed: Determine the charging speed you need based on your vehicle's battery capacity and your daily driving habits.
  • Compatibility: Ensure that the EV charger is compatible with your vehicle's make and model to avoid any compatibility issues.
  • Installation requirements: Consider the installation process and any electrical upgrades that may be needed to support the EV charger.
  • Smart features: Look for EV chargers with smart features such as scheduling, monitoring, and remote access for added convenience.

Signs Your EV Charger Needs Repair

If you already have a charging station at home, it's important to be aware of the signs of damage. The sooner a technician can be summoned, the better the chance there is of a cost-effective solution. Those warning signs include:

  • Physical Damage: Dents, cracks, or burns indicate that the station may require repair. The same goes for damage to the insulation of the charging cable.
  • Power Issues: Insufficient power output could be due to worn-out breakers, faulty wiring, or problems with the socket itself.
  • Power Surges: Sudden spikes in power output during charging can damage the components within the EV charger, leading to malfunction or unsafe operation.
  • Tripped Breakers: Frequent tripping of breakers may indicate issues that range from overloading on wattage to internal wiring flaws.
  • Discoloration: Strange coloring around plugs suggests overheating caused by excessive resistance in the circuit or poor wire insulation. These can pose fire hazards and should be addressed promptly.
  • Unusual Noises: Rattling, buzzing, or humming noises coming from the EV charger may indicate loose components or damaged parts.

It's important to act quickly in contacting our Santa Barbara EV charger techs. Letting damage go unchecked can increase the cost of the eventual repair job, and it is often dangerous.

    Laughlin Electric was great. Easy to book an appointment. They sent a reminder of that appointment and info on who was coming. Cody was the best. Arrived when expected. Listened to what I needed sorted out and gave me options on how to go about it. He then quoted me a price and did the work. Basically did everything I would want and expect. They will be my first call for electrical work.

    Rob from Laughlin is incredible at his job. He installed a new ceiling fan box and wired a motion-activated closet light where there was no light previously. He was focused on minimizing holes in our walls (very minor paint/stucco rework needed) and was mindful to control dust and debris created during the work. He has significant expertise and was able to offer us a range of options to complete our tasks. He is super professional and very easy to talk to - we will recommend him and Laughlin to our friends and neighbors for sure. Thanks Rob for a job very well done!

    Laughlin Electric is truly the best! Lucas came out to our home to give us an estimate and he was able to stay and start the project the same day! We were on a timeline with some other projects and Lucas was so accommodating and professional. I would highly recommend Laughlin Electric and Lucas to anyone. Thank you Lucas, we appreciate you so much!

    Lukas Hutchison is full of knowledge and expertise. Young guy, but God does he know what he’s talking about. I had an issue with an overheating 14-50 car charging plug. Lukas informed me of multiple possible problems with the plug, but had a solution for all of those issues. While taking a look at the wiring in the wall he even took the time to trim down the wires because the previous install wasn’t “perfect”. Would def recommend these guys if you’re in need for electrical help. Very professional and attentive to detail. Thanks for your help, Lukas!

    I use Laughlin Electric regularly and have had all excellent experiences with them. Incredible service, you get appointment days and times very quickly, and their quality of work is top tier. Their technicians are great, and I have worked a lot with Cody. He has exceeded expectations on every project he’s done for me. Large or small projects, he can do anything I throw at him. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend them enough for any electrical needs you have.
