RatingI needed to make some modifications to my main panel, including adding a sub panel for emergencies. The quality of work was truly exceptional, couldn’t have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Ampt Over Electric for all your electrical needs, both big and small.
I hired this company to do several small jobs in my Condo and couldn't be happier with the results. Clear and precise communications for the quote. Ryan was abousletley delightful. Had everything fixed within 2 hours and the price is fair. I will be recommending this company to others and if I need something again will definitely call. Fast friendly and efficient service. Thank you so much to the whole team for making this such a positive experience. Shout out to Ryan because he definitely knows what he is doing!!!!!!
I totally recommend Ampt Over Electic. They were fast and efficient in setting up an estimate, doing the work and making sure I was satisfied.
We hired Ampt Over Electric to replace some old, dead light fixtures in our kitchen. Jeff arrived on time and was very quick, efficient and professional! I would recommend them to anyone looking to get some electrical work done. Thank you for making our kitchen bright again!!
Jorden at Ampt Over Electric got us a great quote (cheapest of all the quotes) to replace our outdated electrical panel. Jeff removed our old panel and installed the new one. He was patient enough to explain to me what he was doing while he worked. Clearly knowledgeable and customer focused. He even helped me clear out my utilities room so the work could be done. We are excited to have Jeff back to replace out outdoor lights with LED’s next!
Jeff did an incredible job installing our hot tub. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely detail-oriented. The wiring was done cleanly and safely, and everything was organized in a way that showed real care and craftsmanship. He clearly knows his stuff and takes pride in doing the job right. It’s not easy finding tradespeople who show up on time, communicate clearly, and leave the site spotless — but Jeff checked every box. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing electrical work or hot tub installation. Solid work all around. Thanks again, Jeff!
Had Jeff from Ampt Over in to do a few jobs that were more than I could do myself. He was very professional, knowledgeable and an extreme pleasure to work with. Will definitely have him back for any BLUE jobs that beyond my abilities. Thank you again for arriving so quickly and finishing the things I would still be here doing.
Had Jeff from Amptover come today to change bathroom light fixtures. Turned out it needed three different junction boxes, which was not what he was expecting, but no problem. Superduper job done in no time flat. Fair price for excellent work! Many thanks to.Amptover And to Jeff and Jorden. Definitely gonna call them From now on for all my Electrician needs.!!
Extremely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend. Jorden is very kind and professional.
Thank you for the amazing and quick service to move my ceiling fan
Choosing the right charger depends on your daily driving habits and electrical panel capacity. Most Calgary homeowners choose Level 2 home chargers for the best balance of speed and value. According to Natural Resources Canada, over 95% of EV charging happens at home — making home charger installation costs one of the best investments for electric vehicle owners. Here is how each level compares.

Level 2 vehicle charging is the sweet spot for home use. You’ll wake up to a full charge every morning without commercial-grade costs.
Our electricians install all major home charger brands. We work with FLO, Wallbox, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, Tesla, and more. We offer home EV charger installation for Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, and all other electric vehicles. We help you find the right home charger for your needs.
Level 2 home chargers are the standard for Calgary EV owners. They add 30–70 km of range per hour. A full overnight charge adds 250+ km. That covers most daily commutes. Brands we install include ChargePoint, FLO, Wallbox, JuiceBox, ClipperCreek, and Grizzl-E. We also offer installation of units you provide yourself.
Tesla’s home charger adds up to 71 km of range per hour. Our certified team installs and configures it. We integrate it with your Tesla app for easy monitoring. The Wall Connector also supports power-sharing when you install multiple units.
Want a portable option? We install 240V NEMA 14-50 outlets. These work with Tesla’s Mobile Connector and other plug-in home chargers. This is a good choice if you want flexibility. It also works well if you plan to take your charger when you move.
Every home is different. Here is what a typical EV charger installation in Calgary looks like. Call +1 368‑993‑7463 for a free quote based on your setup.
Car charger mounting, dedicated circuit from nearby panel, permit, and inspection. This covers most homes.
Longer wire runs to a detached parking spot or separate structure. The scope varies based on distance and routing.
100A to 200A panel upgrade, charger installation, all permits and inspections included.
Varies by brand, amperage, and smart features. We supply units from top manufacturers or install one you purchase yourself.
Your final home charger installation costs depend on a few things: distance from your panel to your parking spot, your panel’s available capacity, and the charger you choose. We provide a full itemised quote before any work begins. No hidden fees.
All EV charger installs in Calgary require a Calgary electrical permit. This is required by Alberta electrical codes and most home insurance policies. Unpermitted work can void your coverage and create problems when selling your home.
The City of Calgary requires all residential EV charger installations to be completed by a licensed electrical contractor and inspected before use. Permits are included in our EV charger installation costs — no hidden fees.
What the permit process involves:
Our certified team handles the full permit process. We submit the application and schedule inspections. We make sure your install meets all codes on the first visit. All work complies with CSA C22.1 (Canadian Electrical Code) and Calgary bylaws.
Alberta does not currently offer a province-wide residential EV charger rebate for single-family homes. However, several programs in Canada may help offset your home charger installation costs:
The Canada Greener Homes Initiative (NRCan) and the iZEV program support clean energy adoption. The iZEV rebate offers up to $5,000 toward eligible electric vehicle purchases. While vehicle-focused, it can free up budget for your home charging setup.
If you are a condo board, property manager, or home business owner, the Alberta Municipalities Electric Vehicle Charging Program offers funding for eligible commercial and multi-residential charging stations. A scalable EV energy management system (EVEMS) helps manage demand across multiple chargers.
Consider pairing your EV charger with a solar panel installation in Calgary. Alberta’s micro-generation program lets you supply clean energy back to the grid.
We stay current on available incentives and can help you determine which programs apply to your situation.
Call us or request a quote online. We discuss your EV, driving habits, and electrical setup. Most homeowners get an accurate estimate over the phone. Complex setups may need a quick site visit.
You get a detailed quote within 24 hours. It lists all items: labour, permits, and upgrades. No hidden fees. Once approved, we book your install within 1–2 weeks. Often sooner.
We pull the City of Calgary electrical permit. We install your charger to code. We make sure everything is labelled correctly. Most standard installs take half a day. If you need an electrical panel upgrade in Calgary, the job may take a full day.
We test the home charger with your vehicle. We confirm it charges correctly. We walk you through the smart features. Then we schedule the city inspection. Most homeowners are charging the same day. Our process is simple and stress-free.
EV charger installation is not a DIY project. Here is why professional installation matters for Calgary homeowners:
Level 2 chargers draw 30–50 amps at 240 volts. Improper wiring creates fire hazards. It can also damage your vehicle. A licensed electrician ensures proper wire gauge, grounding, and breaker protection. According to the Electrical Safety Authority, EV charger installations must be done by a licensed electrical contractor to meet safety codes.
Unpermitted electrical work violates Calgary bylaws. It can void your home insurance. Permitted installs include city inspections, giving you proof that everything meets current codes.
Many EV manufacturers require professional installation to maintain your warranty. Tesla recommends licensed professionals for Wall Connector installation.
A professional handles your panel’s total load and Alberta’s cold weather requirements. We also plan for future needs like solar panel installation in Calgary or additional circuits.
Calgary winters bring unique challenges for EV charging. Temperatures regularly drop below −20°C, which affects charging speed and equipment durability. According to Natural Resources Canada, cold weather can reduce an electric vehicle’s driving range by 20–40% in temperatures below −20°C. Our installs account for the local climate so your home charger performs reliably all year.
We use charging cables and wiring rated for extreme cold (down to −40°C). This prevents cracking. It also ensures reliable year-round performance for your home charger.
All outdoor home charger installs use weather-rated enclosures. These protect against snow, ice, and moisture.
When possible, we suggest an indoor mounting spot. Indoor chargers perform better in cold weather. They are also easier to access in winter. Maintenance is simpler when the charger is sheltered.
For unheated garages, we can install your home charger alongside a space heater circuit. This keeps your charging area accessible in extreme cold.
From our South Calgary locations, we reach most service calls within 30-45 minutes. Same-week scheduling available for all communities.
Most standard installs take 2–4 hours. If an electrical panel upgrade in Calgary or long wiring runs are needed, it may take a full day. We give you a clear time estimate before we start.
Yes. We install home chargers in detached garages regularly. We run underground conduit from your main panel. This requires more materials and labour than an attached setup. We cover all of that in your quote.
We have options. We can install a subpanel. We can upgrade your main panel. Or we can use a load-sharing device. This helps manage power between your charger and other high-draw circuits. We will walk you through the best fit for your home.
Tesla vehicles work with any J1772 Level 2 charger using an adapter. But the Tesla Wall Connector is faster. It also connects to your Tesla app for easy monitoring. We install either option based on what you prefer.
Yes, but it is very slow. A standard 120V outlet adds only 5–8 km of range per hour. Most electric vehicle owners find this too slow for daily driving. A Level 2 home charger adds 8–10x more range per hour.
A properly installed home charger will not affect your other circuits. We do load calculations first. This ensures your panel can handle the added demand. If capacity is limited, we discuss your electrical panel upgrade in Calgary options with you before starting.
Hardwired home chargers connect directly to your electrical system. They are permanent and clean-looking. Plug-in chargers use a NEMA 14-50 outlet. They are portable if you move. We install either type based on your needs.
Homes with aluminum wiring in Calgary need special care for new circuits. Our electricians are experienced with this type of work. We make sure any new EV charger circuit is safe and code-compliant.
Yes. Many Calgary homeowners add home chargers during other electrical work. Common combos include hot tub electrical installation in Calgary. Bundling projects saves time. We are already working on your electrical system, so the scope is smaller.
