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Jorden at Ampt Over Electric got us a great quote (cheapest of all the quotes) to replace our outdated electrical panel.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 consider Level 2 car chargers for the best balance of speed and convenience. Here’s how each level compares.

Best For: PHEVs, backup car charging
MOST POPULAR
Voltage: 240V (dedicated circuit)
Charge Speed: 30–70 km/hour
Best For: Daily drivers, all electric cars
Voltage: 240V (up to 48A)
Charge Speed: Up to 71 km/hour
Best For: Tesla owners
Voltage: 400V+
Charge Speed: 100+ km in 20 min

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 EV charger brands and models. We work with FLO, Wallbox, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, Tesla, and more. Whether you drive a Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, or any other electric car, we’ll help you find the right charger for your home or business.
Level 2 car chargers are the standard for home charging in Calgary. They deliver 30–70 kilometres of range per hour. A typical overnight charge adds 250+ kilometres—more than enough for daily commuting. Brands we install include ChargePoint, FLO, Wallbox, JuiceBox, ClipperCreek, and Grizzl-E. All Level 2 installs require a dedicated circuit and proper breaker, wired to meet CSA C22.1 (Canadian Electrical Code) requirements for electric vehicle supply equipment.
Tesla’s official home charger delivers up to 71 kilometres of range per hour. Our certified team installs, configures, and integrates it with your Tesla app for seamless monitoring. The Wall Connector supports power-sharing when multiple units are installed in one location.
Prefer a portable solution? We install 240V NEMA 14-50 outlets for Tesla’s Mobile Connector and other plug-in car chargers. This option works well if you want flexibility or plan to take your charger when you move. It’s also ideal for drivers who charge multiple vehicles at different times.
Every home is different. Here’s what a typical EV charger installation in Calgary involves. Call +1 368‑993‑7463 for a free quote tailored to your specific 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 scope depends on the distance from your electrical panel to your parking spot, your panel’s available capacity, and the charger you choose. We provide detailed, itemised quotes before any work begins—no hidden fees.
All EV charger installs in Calgary require an electrical permit from the City. 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.
What the permit process involves:
Our certified team handles the entire permit process on your behalf. We submit the application, schedule inspections, and ensure your installation meets all codes on the first visit. All work complies with CSA C22.1 (Canadian Electrical Code) and Calgary-specific 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 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 EV purchases. While vehicle-focused, it can free up budget for your home charging setup.
If you’re 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. Commercial charging stations can attract tenants and increase property value. A scalable EV energy management system (EVEMS) helps manage demand across multiple chargers.
Consider pairing your EV charger with a solar panel installation. Alberta’s micro-generation program lets you supply clean energy back to the grid. Solar-powered vehicle charging is a powerful long-term investment that can increase your home’s value.
We stay current on available incentives and can help you determine which rebate programs apply to your specific situation.
Call us or request a quote online. We’ll discuss your EV, driving habits, and electrical setup. For most homes, we can provide an accurate estimate over the phone. Complex situations may require a quick site visit for planning purposes.
Often within 24 hours, you’ll receive a detailed quote with all items listed—labour, permits, and any required upgrades. No hidden fees. Once approved, we schedule your installation within 1–2 weeks (often sooner).
We pull the required City of Calgary electrical permit, install your charger to code, and ensure everything is properly labelled. Most standard installs complete in half a day. If you need a panel upgrade or extensive wiring, the job may take a full day.
We test the charger with your vehicle to confirm proper operation and walk you through any smart features. Then we schedule the city inspection. You’re charging at home that same day. Our installation process is built to be simple and stress-free for customers.
We understand the appeal of saving money, but EV charger installation is not a typical DIY project. Here’s why professional installation matters:
Level 2 chargers draw significant power—30–50 amps at 240 volts. Improper wiring creates fire hazards and can damage your vehicle’s onboard system. A licensed electrician ensures proper wire gauge, grounding, and breaker protection.
Unpermitted electrical work violates Calgary bylaws and can void your home insurance. Permitted installs include city inspections, giving you documented 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 installation accounts for your panel’s total load, Alberta’s cold weather requirements, and potential future needs like solar panel integration or additional circuits.
Calgary winters bring unique challenges for EV charging. Temperatures regularly drop below −20°C, which affects charging speed and equipment durability. Our installs account for the local climate:
We use charging cables and wiring rated for extreme cold (−40°C). This prevents cracking and ensures reliable performance year-round.
All outdoor installs use weather-rated enclosures that protect internal components from snow, ice, and moisture.
Whenever possible, we recommend an indoor mounting location. This keeps charging speeds optimal in cold weather and provides convenience during winter months. Maintenance is also simpler when the charger is sheltered.
For detached structures without heating, we can install your charger alongside circuits for a space heater—keeping your vehicle charging area accessible even during extreme cold snaps.
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 panel upgrades or extensive wiring are needed, the job may take a full day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline with your quote.
Yes. We regularly install chargers in detached structures by running underground conduit from your main panel. This requires more materials and labour than an attached setup, which is reflected in the scope of work.
If your panel doesn’t have space for a new 240V circuit, we have options. We can install a subpanel, upgrade your main panel, or use a load-sharing device that helps manage power between your charger and other high-draw circuits.
Tesla vehicles can use any J1772 Level 2 charger with an adapter. However, the Tesla Wall Connector provides the fastest home charging speeds and integrates with your Tesla app. We install either option based on your preference.
Yes, but it’s slow. Level 1 charging from a standard 120V outlet adds only 5–8 kilometres of range per hour. Most electric car owners find this insufficient for average daily driving needs in Calgary.
A properly installed EV charger should not affect your other electrical systems. We perform load calculations to ensure your panel can handle the additional demand. If capacity is limited, we’ll discuss panel upgrade options or load management solutions.
Hardwired chargers connect directly to your electrical system for a permanent, clean installation. Plug-in chargers (using a NEMA 14-50 outlet) offer portability if you move. We install either type depending on your needs.
Homes with aluminium wiring require special considerations for any new circuit. Our electricians are experienced with aluminium wiring connections and use approved connectors to ensure safe, reliable operation.
Yes. Many Calgary homeowners add EV chargers when they’re already having other electrical work done, like hot tub installations. Combining projects can reduce overall scope since we’re already working on your electrical system.
