EV charger installation in Alton, NH.
Plenty of older houses around Alton Bay still have a 100-amp service. We check yours before we tell you what a Level 2 charger needs.
What's Included
Level 2 chargers on a 100-amp Alton service
A Level 2 charger needs its own 240-volt circuit. On a 100-amp service, that can be most of what is left. We add up what the house already uses, like the range, the water heater, and the heat, and tell you what fits.
If it is close, a load shed module pauses the charger while the big loads are on, and you keep the service you have. If it does not fit, the panel upgrade or a 200-amp service is in the written estimate.
Electrical work in Alton covers the rest of the house.
- Load calculation on the Alton service before we quote
- Dedicated 240-volt circuit, hardwired or NEMA 14-50
- Load shed module when the service is close to full
- Panel or 200-amp service upgrade in the estimate when it is needed
- Permit and inspection
Questions
EV charger questions from Alton homeowners
Will a Level 2 charger work on a 100-amp service in Alton?
Sometimes, yes. We do a load calculation first. If the numbers are close, a load shed module pauses the charger while the range, the water heater, or the heat is running. If they are not close, we tell you that and price the upgrade.
What does a load shed module do?
It watches the total load on the service. When the house gets near its limit, it pauses the charger, then turns it back on when the load drops. The car still charges overnight, and the service is never pushed past what it can carry.
Should I upgrade to 200 amps for a charger?
Only if the load calculation says so. A load shed module is less work than a service upgrade, so we start there when it fits. If it will not, the upgrade is in the estimate.
