Power your electric vehicle with a convenient, safe, and cost-effective home EV charging station.
At Welzig Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electric, we provide professional EV charger installation across Colorado—giving you faster charging, long-term savings, and the peace of mind that comes from expert workmanship. Whether you drive a Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Ford Lightning, or Chevy Bolt, our team makes charging at home simple, reliable, and affordable.
Why Install a Home EV Charging Station?
Public charging networks are growing across Colorado, but they still can’t match the convenience of home charging. A home EV charging station means you can start every morning with a full battery, save money over time, and enjoy safer, more reliable charging. Instead of planning your day around finding a public station, you can charge on your schedule.
- Faster charging times compared to standard outlets or public chargers
- Lower long-term costs than paying per kWh at public networks
- Safe, code-compliant installation from licensed electricians
- Everyday convenience—plug in at night and wake up to a fully charged car
- Increased home value—buyers increasingly expect EV-ready homes
To put costs in perspective, many public charging stations in Colorado charge between $0.30 and $0.50 per kWh. At home, the average cost is closer to $0.12 per kWh. That difference adds up to thousands of dollars in savings over just a few years of ownership.
Installing your own home car charging station is not only about convenience and cost savings—it also supports Colorado’s move toward a cleaner energy future. By charging at home, especially during off-peak hours, you’re helping reduce strain on the grid and contributing to lower emissions overall.
Our EV Charger Installation Services
At Welzig, we make EV charger installation simple, seamless, and stress-free. Our licensed electricians follow Colorado codes to ensure your system is installed safely, inspected properly, and ready for years of reliable use. We handle everything from start to finish, so you don’t have to worry about permits, wiring, or safety checks.
- Inspection & Consultation: We evaluate your electrical panel, wiring, and overall capacity to determine what type of charger your home can support.
- Equipment Options: We’ll help you choose the right electric car charger for home, whether you want a wall-mounted system or a portable solution.
- Professional Installation: Our electricians install your home EV charging station, run dedicated circuits if needed, and ensure proper grounding.
- Testing & Safety Check: We perform full diagnostics, confirm GFCI protection where required, and verify the system is safe, efficient, and reliable.
Many Colorado homes—especially older ones—need additional electrical capacity. If that’s the case, we can also complete an electrical panel upgrade to support your new Level 2 charger. This also prepares your home for future technologies like solar panels, battery storage, or additional EVs.
Types of Home EV Charging Stations
Level 1 Charging (120V)
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V outlet and is the slowest option. While it requires no special equipment, it only adds about 3–5 miles of range per hour. For occasional drivers or as a backup solution, Level 1 may be enough—but most Colorado EV owners quickly find it too limiting.
- Plugs into a standard outlet
- Affordable, no special equipment required
- Best for light use or short commutes
Level 2 Charging (240V) — Most Popular
Level 2 charging requires a dedicated 240V circuit and professional installation, but it delivers the power most EV owners need. These chargers add 25–40 miles of range per hour, making it possible to fully charge most vehicles overnight. They’re the most popular choice for homeowners in Colorado.
- Requires a dedicated 240V line
- Delivers full overnight charging
- Qualifies for rebates and tax credits
Some homeowners ask about Level 3 “fast chargers.” While these are common at commercial stations, they require massive power loads and aren’t practical for residential use. For nearly all homes, a Level 2 home EV charging station provides the perfect balance of speed, cost, and efficiency.
Colorado EV Charger Rebates & Incentives
One of the biggest advantages of installing a charger at home is the financial support available to Colorado homeowners. Between state programs, utility rebates, and federal tax credits, you can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
- Colorado State Rebates: Homeowners may qualify for up to $500 toward EV home charger installation.
- Utility Company Incentives: Programs from providers like Xcel Energy and Platte River Power Authority offer rebates for installing a home EV charging station.
- Federal Tax Credits: The federal government currently offers up to 30% back (up to $1,000) for qualified residential installations.
The process is straightforward: once your charger is installed, we’ll guide you through utility rebate forms and provide the documentation needed for your federal tax credit. This ensures you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
