Why Westerville Homeowners Choose We Power Electric LLC

Every electrician on our team is licensed and qualified, with hands-on experience across residential and commercial installations. That breadth matters because EV charger projects vary widely: some are straightforward circuit additions, while others require a panel evaluation or service upgrade before a charger can safely operate.

A few things that set our service apart:

• Free surge protection included with every panel change or service upgrade
• Discounts for military members, first responders, teachers, and senior citizens
• Community investment through active charity involvement in the areas we serve

Westerville Electric Division Rebates & Permit Requirements

Westerville operates its own municipal electric utility, the Westerville Electric Division, which gives local homeowners access to programs that residents served by investor-owned utilities typically don’t have. The Electric Division’s PowerUp program includes a Residential EV Off-Peak Charging Program that may offer a one-time $300 rebate for enrolling. Participants may also receive a discounted energy credit for charging between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weekdays and during all hours on weekends. Enrollment requires a three-year participation commitment, so it’s worth understanding the terms before signing up.

The program has a specific installation requirement: a qualified electrician must install a separate dedicated 240V circuit with an exterior meter base, and a residential electric permit from the Westerville Planning & Development Department is required before work begins. We’re familiar with both requirements and can handle permit coordination as part of your project. Eligibility and rebate amounts are determined by the Westerville Electric Division, and we’re happy to help you understand what to expect when you contact them.

On the federal side, the Section 30C tax credit that had covered up to $1,000 of home electric car charger installation costs is no longer available for installations placed in service after June 30, 2026. If you installed a charger before that date, consult your tax preparer about whether it applies to your return.

Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging: Which Do You Need?

Most homeowners making the switch to home EV charging end up choosing a Level 2 setup. Here’s why the difference matters.

Level 1 Charging
Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and charges slowly. For drivers with short daily commutes and overnight time to charge, it can be sufficient, but it leaves little margin if your schedule changes or your mileage increases.

Level 2 Charging
Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit and charges significantly faster than Level 1. Chargers can be hardwired directly into your electrical system or connected through a 240V outlet, and many current models include smart Wi-Fi connectivity for scheduling and monitoring.

Whether your existing panel has the capacity for a new 240V circuit depends on available breaker space and current load. We perform a load calculation during your estimate to determine whether a panel or service upgrade is needed before installation can proceed. We install universal, high-amperage charging equipment compatible with major electric vehicle makes and models, so you won’t have to plan around your charger as your vehicle changes.

Our EV Charger Installation Process

We start with a free onsite estimate. Our electricians inspect your electrical panel, check available breaker space, and assess the distance to your preferred charger location. That visit gives us everything we need to put together an accurate written quote covering the dedicated circuit, wiring, and any panel or service upgrades required before we touch anything.

Once you approve the scope, we complete the installation and test the charger to confirm it’s operating correctly. We also coordinate any required inspection, including permit-related inspections for Westerville Electric Division program participants.
