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Jorden at Ampt Over Electric got us a great quote (cheapest of all the quotes) to replace our outdated electrical panel.Jeff removed our old panel and installed the new one.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

Level 2 charging provides the sweet spot for residential use. You’ll wake up to a full charge every morning without the infrastructure costs of commercial-grade equipment.
Our electricians install all major EV charger brands and models, from entry-level units to premium smart chargers. Whether you drive a Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, or any other EV, we’ll match you with the right charging solution for your home.
Level 2 chargers are the standard for home charging in Calgary. They deliver 30-70 kilometres of range per hour, meaning a typical overnight charge adds 250+ kilometres—more than enough for daily commuting and errands. Brands we install include ChargePoint, JuiceBox, ClipperCreek, Grizzl-E, and more. All Level 2 installations require a dedicated 240V circuit and 30-50 amp breaker, wired to meet the Canadian Electrical Code Section 86 requirements for electric vehicle supply equipment.
Tesla’s official home charger delivers up to 71 kilometres of range per hour when paired with compatible vehicles. We install, configure, and integrate with your Tesla app for seamless monitoring and scheduling. The Wall Connector works with all Tesla models and supports power-sharing when multiple units are installed.
Prefer a portable solution? We install 240V NEMA 14-50 outlets compatible with Tesla’s Mobile Connector and other plug-in chargers. This option works well if you want flexibility, plan to take your charger when you move, or need to charge different vehicles at different times.
Every home is different, but here’s what Calgary homeowners typically pay for professional EV charger installation
Charger mounting, dedicated circuit from nearby panel, permit, inspection
Longer wire runs to detached garage or distant parking spot
100A to 200A panel upgrade, charger installation, all permits included
Depends on brand, amperage, and smart features selected
Your final cost depends on the distance from your electrical panel to your parking spot, your panel’s available capacity, and whether you choose a basic or smart charger. We provide detailed, itemized quotes before any work begins—the price we quote is the price you pay.
All EV charger installations in Calgary require an electrical permit from the City. This isn’t optional—it’s required by both the Alberta Electrical Code and most home insurance policies. Unpermitted electrical work can void your coverage and create problems when selling your home.
What the permit process involves:
Our team handles the entire permit process on your behalf. We submit the application, schedule the inspection, and ensure your installation passes on the first visit. All work complies with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and Calgary-specific bylaws.
While Alberta doesn’t currently offer province-wide residential EV charger rebates for single-family homes, several programs may help offset your costs:
The iZEV (Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles) program offers up to $5,000 toward eligible EV purchases. While this is vehicle-focused rather than charger-specific, it can free up budget for your home charging setup.
If you’re a condo board, property manager, or business owner, the Alberta Municipalities Electric Vehicle Charging Program offers rebates up to 46% of eligible costs. The City of Calgary’s ChargeYYC program has also supported multi-residential EV charging infrastructure.
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’ll discuss your EV, driving habits, and home electrical setup. For most homes, we can provide an accurate estimate over the phone. Complex situations may require a quick site visit.
Sometimes within 24 hours, you’ll receive a detailed quote with all costs itemized—equipment, labour, permits, and any necessary 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 and documented. Most standard installations complete in half a day. If you need a panel upgrade or extensive wiring, the job may require a full day.
We test the charger with your vehicle to confirm proper operation, walk you through any smart features, and schedule the city inspection. You’re charging at home that same day.
We understand the appeal of saving money, but EV charger installation isn’t a typical DIY project. Here’s why professional installation matters:
Level 2 chargers draw significant power—typically 30-50 amps at 240 volts. Improper wiring creates fire hazards and can damage your vehicle’s onboard charging system. A licensed electrician ensures proper wire gauge, grounding, and breaker protection.
Unpermitted electrical work violates Calgary bylaws and can void your home insurance. If something goes wrong, you’re personally liable. Permitted installations include city inspection, giving you documented proof of code compliance.
Many EV manufacturers require professional installation to maintain your vehicle’s warranty. Tesla specifically recommends licensed electricians 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 both charging speed and equipment durability. Our installations account for Alberta’s climate:
We use charging cables and wiring rated for extreme cold (-40°C) to prevent cracking and ensure reliable performance year-round.
All outdoor installations use NEMA 3R or NEMA 4 rated enclosures that protect internal components from snow, ice, and moisture infiltration.
Whenever possible, we recommend installing your charger in a garage. This protects the equipment, keeps charging speeds optimal in cold weather, and provides convenience during Calgary’s winter months.
For detached garages without heating, we can install your charger alongside electrical circuits for garage heaters—keeping your 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 installations take 2-4 hours. If panel upgrades or extensive wiring are needed, the job may require a full day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline with your quote.
Yes. We regularly install chargers in detached garages by running underground conduit from your main panel. This requires more materials and labour than an attached garage installation, which is reflected in the cost.
If your panel doesn’t have available space for a new 240V circuit, we have options. We can install a subpanel, upgrade your main panel to a higher capacity, or use a load-sharing device that manages 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 for Tesla vehicles and integrates with your Tesla app. We install both options.
Yes, but it’s slow. Level 1 charging from a standard 120V outlet adds only 5-8 kilometres of range per hour. Most EV owners find this insufficient for daily driving needs in Calgary.
A properly installed EV charger shouldn’t 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 are permanently connected to your electrical system—they look cleaner and can’t be accidentally unplugged. Plug-in chargers (using NEMA 14-50 outlets) offer portability if you move or want to use your charger at different locations.
Homes with aluminum wiring require special considerations for any new circuit installation. We’re experienced with aluminum wiring connections and use approved connectors to ensure safe, reliable operation.
Yes. Many Calgary homeowners add EV chargers when they’re already having other 240V electrical work done, like hot tub installations. Combining projects can reduce overall costs since we’re already working on your electrical system.
