AfterFast, Reliable EV Charger Installation Across Irving
EV charger installation in Irving typically runs $900-$2,800 for a standard Level 2 setup, depending on your panel capacity and how far the charger sits from your breaker box. Most Irving jobs are completed in a single day, though homes in the Las Colinas HOA corridor (75038-75039) should expect a 60-90 day architectural review before we can pull wire. If you’re tired of the garage ceiling outlet giving you three miles of range per hour, call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll map out exactly what your home needs.
We’re Gus’s Solar, and we’ve been wiring charger circuits across Irving long enough to know which neighborhoods trip on 100-amp panels and which HOAs red-tag surface-mounted conduit. That local knowledge saves you a second trip, a failed inspection, and a few hundred dollars in rework.
Why Gus’s Solar Is Irving’s Preferred EV Charger Installation Company
Most Irving homeowners we meet have already talked to a national installer who quoted a phone number that changed at the door. That’s not how Gus Petrakis works. Gus puts his name on the truck, quotes from your actual panel and garage layout, and tells you to take two weeks before you sign anything. The price will be the same.
Irving residents in East Irving’s ranch-style neighborhoods (75060-75062) and the newer Las Colinas builds (75063) call us because our crew has worked both. We know that a 1957 rancher off Belt Line Road needs a different panel conversation than a 2005 stucco home off MacArthur Boulevard. We also know the HOA submittal requirements in Las Colinas before we ever step in your garage. Reviews from Irving customers consistently mention the same things: a live person answers the phone, the quote matches the final invoice, and the crew shows up when they said they would.
Our office coordinates scheduling from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and our Irving crews typically reach your home same-day or next-day for estimates. For charger installs, we schedule within the week in most cases, HOA review aside.
Our EV Charger Installation Services in Irving
Level 2 Charger Installation
A Level 2 charger on a dedicated 240-volt circuit gives Irving drivers 25-44 miles of range per hour, compared to the 3-5 miles you’re getting from a garage wall outlet. We hardwire or install a NEMA 14-50 outlet, match your breaker capacity to the charger’s draw, and handle the city permit. In Irving’s older East Side homes, we’ll check your panel ampacity before recommending a charger size, because a 48-amp unit on a 100-amp panel is a breaker-trip waiting to happen.
Tesla Wall Connector Installation
Tesla Wall Connectors are the most common unit we install across Irving, and for good reason: they deliver up to 48 amps, integrate with the Tesla app, and look clean in a garage. We handle the full circuit run, configure the connector for your home’s service size, and set up load sharing if you’re charging two Teslas. We service Tesla, Qcells, and Panasonic battery systems alongside our charger work, so a solar-plus-charger setup is one crew, one day.
Panel Upgrade for EV Charging
Irving homes in 75060-75062 were built when 100-amp panels were standard, and adding a 48-amp EV charger plus a solar inverter on that service is asking for nuisance trips. We do main breaker upgrades, subpanel additions, and load calculations. In East Irving, a panel upgrade runs $1,500-$3,000 before we touch the charger circuit. In Las Colinas, we often find 200-amp service already in place, which means the charger install is straightforward.
Garage & Driveway Charger Wiring
Not every Irving home has an attached garage. For driveway parking, we run weather-rated conduit and install a pedestal or wall-mount charger that handles Texas heat and rain. We route through the attic where possible, matching the material to your wall finish. In Las Colinas, HOA rules often require conduit to run inside the wall or through the attic, so we plan for that before the first hole is drilled.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
Our electricians work with Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, and SunPower chargers and solar hardware every week, so we know the install specs and the quirks. We keep common breakers, disconnect boxes, and conduit fittings on our Irving trucks, which means fewer supply-house runs and a faster finish. Whether you bought a Qcells solar array, a Panasonic battery, or a Tesla Wall Connector, we’ll wire it to your panel the right way and stand behind the work.
Common EV Charger Installation Problems We See in Irving Homes
- The builder left you a 15-amp garage outlet that says “Level 2 ready.” We see this in master-planned communities across Irving. That outlet delivers 3 miles of range per hour and trips when the garage door opener kicks on. A dedicated 60-amp circuit fixes it.
- 100-amp panels can’t handle the load. East Irving homes from the 1950s and 1960s were never designed for a 48-amp charger plus central air plus a solar inverter. When the temperature hits 100°F, the breaker trips. A panel upgrade is the fix.
- HOA red tags on surface-mounted conduit. Las Colinas architectural committees prohibit exposed conduit on garage exteriors. If your installer didn’t plan for in-wall or attic routing, you’re re-running the circuit. We plan for the HOA rules first.
- The charger trips when the solar system is producing. In Irving’s hot afternoons, solar panels generate heavily while your AC runs hard. Without proper load management, the charger and inverter compete for capacity. We configure dynamic load management so the charger throttles instead of tripping.

FAQs - EV Charger Installation in Irving
Sixty to ninety days is realistic. Las Colinas architectural review committees usually require photorealistic renderings and an in-person hearing for any visible garage modification, including conduit runs. We handle the submittal package for you. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll start the clock early so you’re not waiting on paperwork after the charger is on the truck.
No, not safely at full draw. A 48-amp Wall Connector needs dedicated capacity that a 100-amp panel with central air and a dryer doesn’t have. You’ll need a panel upgrade first, which runs $1,500-$3,000 in the 75060-75062 zip codes. We can size the charger down to 32 amps temporarily, but we’ll be straight with you: upgrading the panel is the right fix.
Your solar inverter is pushing power onto the bus bar at the same time your charger is pulling, and on a 100°F afternoon with the AC running, the total load exceeds the panel rating. In Irving’s summer heat, this is common on undersized panels. The fix is dynamic load management or a panel upgrade. We configure the charger to monitor the load and back off automatically, so you charge overnight at full speed without tripping breakers.
Typically not. Rapid shutdown applies to solar PV systems, not a dedicated EV charger circuit. If you’re pairing a charger with solar in Irving, that’s a different story and we’ll include any rapid shutdown requirements in the quote. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll tell you exactly what your setup needs.
No, as long as the charger circuit is installed by a licensed electrician and doesn’t modify your solar equipment. We coordinate with your solar system’s wiring so the charger sits on its own breaker. If we installed your panels, this is one crew, one warranty conversation. If another company installed them, we’ll still do the work clean. Either way, call (877) 550-6892 for a free estimate.
