Is Your Home Ready for an EV Charger? A Guide for Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Marietta Homeowners

Thinking about installing an electric vehicle charger at home? You’re not alone. With more drivers in North Georgia making the switch to electric vehicles, homeowners in Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Marietta are searching for reliable, local EV charger installation—but often struggle to find a qualified expert. If you're here, you’re already ahead of the curve.

At EaZy Electrical & Plumbing, we specialize in preparing homes for the future. That starts with answering the biggest question EV owners have: Is your home’s electrical system ready for a charger upgrade?

Will My Current Electrical Panel Support an EV Charger?

Before any EV charger can be installed, your electrical panel needs to be evaluated. Most Level 2 chargers (the ones that deliver faster, more efficient charging) require a 240V circuit and 40–60 amps of dedicated power. Whether you're in a historic Roswell home or a newer build in East Marietta, we've seen every type of electrical setup and know that many older homes simply aren’t equipped to handle that without an upgrade.

Here are common signs you may need a panel upgrade:

• Your panel is over 20 years old
• Lights flicker or breakers trip regularly
• There’s no room left on your panel for additional circuits
• You already use multiple high-powered appliances (hot tubs, HVAC, etc.)

If any of these sound familiar, don't worry—we can assess and upgrade your panel as part of the EV charger installation process.

Which is Better for My Home: A Level 1 or Level 2 EV Charger?

There are two main types of home chargers:

Level 1 Chargers

Plug into a standard 120V outlet. Convenient, but very slow—charging can take 24+ hours.

Level 2 Chargers

Require a dedicated 240V circuit. Much faster, typically delivering a full charge in 4–8 hours. Ideal for daily EV use.

For most EV owners in suburban areas like Marietta and Sandy Springs, a Level 2 charger is the better long-term investment for convenience and speed.
