AfterFast, Reliable EV Charger Installation Across Loomis
EV charger installation in Loomis typically runs $800-$2,400 for a standard Level 2 setup, with panel upgrades adding $1,800-$4,500 when your existing service can’t handle the load. Most jobs are done in a single day once we’ve confirmed your panel capacity and run the wiring path. We know Loomis homes, we know the ranchette layouts off King Road and Val Verde Road, and we’ll tell you straight what your house actually needs before we quote a number. Call (877) 550-6892 and Gus’s crew will come out, look at your panel, and give you a price that won’t change at the door.
Why Gus’s Solar Is Loomis’s Preferred EV Charger Installation Company
Gus Petrakis started this company in 2011 and put his own name on the truck. When you call about EV Charger Installation, you’re talking to a locally owned business that answers the phone with a live person, 24/7. No call center, no ticketing portal. The crew that shows up at your Loomis property is background-checked and uniformed, and Gus’s own crew does the work. Nobody gets handed off to a subcontractor.
What that means for you: we’ve seen the 100A panels in the mid-1980s custom homes off Horseshoe Bar Road that trip the main breaker the day a Tesla Wall Connector goes in. We know which homes need a service upgrade first and which ones can get away with a load calculation and a smaller charger. That local knowledge saves you money and keeps you from buying equipment you can’t use.
We stand behind the work with a 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it isn’t right, Gus makes it right, in writing. And pricing is upfront: the number we quote is the number you pay. Bring me a bill, I’ll bring you the math. Take two weeks. Think about it. The price will be the same.
Our EV Charger Installation Services in Loomis
Level 2 Charger Installation
A Level 2 charger puts about 25-30 miles of range into your EV per hour, which is what most Loomis homeowners actually need for overnight charging. We run the wiring from your panel to your garage or carport, mount the charger, and handle the permit. On Loomis ranchettes with detached garages, we often trench conduit through decomposed granite soil, which adds to the labor but protects the wire run for decades. Prices for the installation itself run $500-$1,200, plus the charger unit if you haven’t bought one yet.
Tesla Wall Connector Installation
The Tesla Wall Connector draws 48A continuous, and that’s where a lot of older Loomis homes hit a wall. A mid-1980s custom build with a 100A panel often can’t support it without either a load management device or a full panel upgrade. We’ll check your existing load, especially if you’re on a well pump that’s already pulling 240V around the clock. We install these regularly in Loomis, and we’ll tell you before you buy the charger whether your panel can actually run it.
Panel Upgrade for EV Charging
Homes built between the mid-1980s and 2000s in Loomis frequently top out at 100A or 125A service. A 48A charger plus your AC, well pump, and dryer will trip the main. We handle the full panel upgrade, typically 200A service, including the PG&E coordination and permit. In Loomis this usually runs $2,500-$4,500 depending on whether the meter socket needs replacing and how far the service drop is from the panel. You’ll have the capacity for the charger, future solar, and a battery if you decide to add one later.
Garage & Driveway Charger Wiring
Attached garages are straightforward: surface-mount conduit or in-wall wiring from the panel to the charger location. Detached garages and shops on Loomis parcels are a different job. A 200-foot run to a detached shop means trenching, often across irrigation lines and through that granite-hard Loomis soil. We stock the right conduit and wire gauges for these distances, and we’ll map the trench path to avoid your well lines and sprinkler zones before we start digging.

Trusted Brands We Service in Loomis
We work with Tesla Wall Connectors, Enphase EV chargers, and battery-backed setups using FranklinWH systems. If you already have an Enphase solar array on your Loomis home, pairing it with an Enphase charger makes sense for managing your solar production. For Tesla owners, we stock Wall Connector units and the wire, breakers, and conduit locally, which means faster turnaround on a Loomis install. We also service SolarEdge systems if that’s what’s already on your roof.
Common EV Charger Installation Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- 100A-125A panels from the 1980s and 1990s that can’t carry a 48A charger. The charger trips the main breaker the first night it draws full current. This is the single most common call we get in Loomis, and the fix is a panel upgrade or a lower-amperage charger.
- Detached garages and shops with no subpanel capacity. Many Loomis outbuildings were wired for lights and a 110V outlet. Running a 240V charger out there means new conduit, heavier wire, and sometimes a subpanel, which means trenching across the property.
- Charger installed without checking the PG&E rate schedule. If your charger pulls at night and your solar is generating at noon, you’re buying expensive peak or off-peak power instead of using your own electrons. We size the system and timing around your actual true-up math.
- Tile roofs or poor south-facing orientation limiting solar-paired charging. Not every Loomis roof has a clean south exposure. We solve this with ground-mount arrays in the pasture, which is practical here because parcel sizes allow it, and then route that solar to your charger.

FAQs - EV Charger Installation in Loomis
Loomis sits at 400-600 feet elevation, which largely puts it above the winter tule fog that blankets Roseville and Rocklin just 10-15 miles west. That means your solar array produces more kilowatt-hours in December and January, so a solar-paired EV charger in Loomis generates more of the electricity that actually charges your car during fog season. On a same-sized system, you’re getting perhaps 10-20% more winter production than a valley-floor home, and that flows directly into your PG&E true-up math. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll run your specific numbers off your actual bill.
Usually not at full speed. A 48A Tesla Wall Connector draws 48A continuous, and a 100A panel typically can’t support that alongside your AC, dryer, and any other 240V loads without tripping the main. There are a few options: a lower-amperage setting on the charger, a load management device that sheds the charger when other loads spike, or a panel upgrade to 200A. On a 2.5-acre ranchette off King Road, our crew retrofitted a 200A panel for a homeowner whose 100A panel couldn’t support the 48A load, and paired the charger with a ground-mount array in the backyard pasture because the tile roof had poor south exposure. We’ll look at your panel before you spend anything.
Loomis is in PG&E territory, and the current net metering rules in California pay less for exported solar than you pay for import, so the goal is to use your solar production in real time rather than sell it back. For EV charging, that means sizing your array so your midday surplus covers your car’s draw, and timing your charging to happen during solar production hours when practical. If you’re driving 1,000 miles a month, the math matters a lot. We’ll build the array size around your true-up statement, not a brochure.
Trenching. A 200-foot run to a detached shop means digging through Loomis soil, which is often decomposed granite, and crossing irrigation lines, which means hand-digging around sprinkler zones and well lines. That trench work adds $1,000-$2,500 on top of the charger install, depending on whether we’re also running conduit for a subpanel. The wire gauge matters too: for a 48A charger at that distance, you need heavier copper to avoid voltage drop. It’s worth doing right once rather than under-sizing and having the charger fault out later.
Driving 1,000 miles a month in an EV that gets about 3.5 miles per kWh means you’re consuming roughly 285 kWh a month for the car. A 6-8 kW solar array in Loomis, with this town’s fog-free winter advantage, can often produce enough to cover that plus your household load, assuming your roof or a ground-mount has good sun exposure. But there’s a catch: if you charge at night and export your solar at noon, the net metering math doesn’t work in your favor under current PG&E rules. We size the system so your charging window overlaps with production as much as possible, and we’ll show you the true-up math before you commit. Call (877) 550-6892 for a free estimate.
