The Value of a Dedicated Home EV Charging Setup in Bensalem
The real payoff of a professional EV charger installation becomes clear every morning. No detours to public stations, no uncertainty about whether the chargers near Neshaminy Mall are available. A dedicated home charging setup puts you in control of your energy use and your schedule. We help you find the right charger location, whether inside a garage or a weatherproofed outdoor mount, so the station is easy to reach and cables stay neatly managed.
Safety is central to every installation we do. Many older homes in Bensalem weren’t designed with the continuous high electrical load of a residential EV charging station in mind. Before any work begins, we perform a comprehensive load calculation on your electrical panel. If your panel is at capacity, we can handle a panel upgrade as part of the same project to support a safe charging setup.
Our Bensalem customers also benefit from:
- Free Visual Estimates: Clear, upfront pricing so there are no surprises when the job starts.
- Licensed and Insured Technicians: Every electrician on our crew is fully qualified, giving you complete peace of mind.
- Priority Scheduling: Urgent electrical issues affecting safety or basic power are addressed as quickly as our schedule allows.
- One-Year Parts and Labor Warranty: We stand behind our workmanship with a full year of coverage on parts and labor supplied by our team.
- Community Discounts: Special discounts for local seniors and first responders.
Why Bensalem Homeowners Choose Jim & Sons Electric for EV Charger Installation
You want to know the company you hire can show up, do careful work, and be there if you need them afterward. At Jim & Sons Electric, we work to earn that trust from the first conversation.
We’ve been serving Philadelphia and nearby communities since 2014, and our electricians bring decades of combined experience to each project. That background matters when adding a modern EV charger to homes with older panels, additions, or past electrical changes.

Cost is a real concern, and our free visual estimates let you see exactly what’s involved before you commit.

Our Step-by-Step EV Charger Installation Process for Bensalem Homes
Knowing what to expect makes any project feel less stressful. We follow a clear process for every installation, from the first call through final testing.
- Initial conversation: When you reach out, we ask a few questions about your home, your vehicle, and where you usually park. This helps us plan the estimate and understand your goals.
- Free visual estimate: An electrician visits your Bensalem home to inspect the electrical panel, check available breaker spaces, and review the wiring route to your preferred charger location. We note any obstacles that might affect the length or difficulty of the run.
- Clear recommendations: After the walkthrough, we explain what we found. If your panel has capacity for a new 240-volt dedicated circuit, we describe that option. If it looks tight or outdated, we talk through panel upgrade options and how they affect cost and timeline.
- Upfront pricing: We provide a clear price based on your specific setup and explain how the cost changes if you choose a different charger location or need additional work. No surprises later.
- Scheduling: Once you’re comfortable with the plan, we schedule your installation for a date and time that fits your routine. We arrive on time and keep you informed about any updates.
- Installation day: Our electricians protect work areas, install the new circuit, mount the charger, and make all connections. If power needs to be briefly interrupted during any step, we let you know in advance.
- Testing and walkthrough: We test the charger, confirm the new breaker operates properly, and walk you through any basic features. We label the panel clearly and clean up before leaving.
- Support after installation: If you have questions or notice something that concerns you, you can contact us. Your installation is backed by our one-year parts and labor warranty on our workmanship and supplied parts.
Choosing the Right EV Charger & Location for Your Bensalem Home
Every home and driving routine is different, so there’s no single charger that fits everyone. During our visit, we talk through how you use your vehicle and where you want to park, then discuss options that match your situation.
Level 2 vs. Level 1: Which Charger Is Right for You?
Many Bensalem homeowners prefer a Level 2 charger on a 240-volt circuit, since it adds significantly more range per hour than a standard 120-volt outlet, especially useful for longer commutes or households with multiple drivers sharing one vehicle. In some cases, a standard 120-volt outlet still makes sense: if your daily driving distances are short and the car sits overnight for long stretches, a dedicated Level 1 circuit may be enough. We explain the tradeoffs clearly so you can decide what works for your household.
Charger Location & Mounting Considerations
Location matters just as much as charger type. We look at your garage, driveway, or carport and think through where the EVSE installation will be easiest to reach without stretching cable across walkways. We also consider exposure to rain, snow, and temperature swings, and whether protective covers or specific mounting heights are appropriate. Pennsylvania’s climate makes weatherproof mounting an important consideration for any outdoor installation.
If you already purchased a charger, we can typically install it as long as it’s appropriate for your electrical system and location. If you’re still choosing a unit, we’ll walk you through key features like amperage, cord length, and mounting style without pushing a particular brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does EV Charger Installation Take?
Most residential EV charger installations are completed in a single visit. The exact time depends on the distance from the panel to the charger location and how much preparation work is required. A straightforward installation with a short wiring run might take several hours; a more complex project could take most of the day. When we schedule your job, we give you an estimated time window based on what we observed during the visual estimate so you can plan around it.
Can You Install a Charger I Already Bought?
In many cases, yes. We can install a charger you’ve already purchased, as long as it’s suitable for your home and meets safety standards. During the visual estimate, we review the charger specifications, including amperage and mounting requirements, and confirm your electrical system can support it. If any adjustments are needed, we explain them before installation begins.
Our one-year parts and labor warranty covers the work our team performs: wiring, connections, and mounting. The charger unit itself is typically covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to explain how those two warranties work together so you know exactly what protection you have.
What Does Your Warranty Cover on EV Charger Installations?
Jim & Sons Electric provides a one-year parts and labor warranty on our installation work in Bensalem. If an issue related to our workmanship or the parts we supplied comes up within that year, contact us and we can review the situation. If it falls within the warranty, we address it under that coverage. Warranty terms for the charger unit itself are set by the manufacturer and are typically included with the product. If you’re not sure whether a concern relates to our work or the charger hardware, call us first. We’ll help you sort it out.
