What we see in Durham homes

Durham splits sharply. South Durham and the areas near RTP are largely post-2000 with modern 200A panels. The historic neighbourhoods — Trinity Park, Old West Durham, Watts-Hillandale — are frequently 1920s to 1950s housing where 100A service is still common and a panel upgrade is part of the job.

Durham sits in a different county from Raleigh and Cary, so permitting runs through the City of Durham rather than Wake County. Worth knowing if you have been quoted by someone who works mainly in Wake — the process is not the same.

Worth knowing locally. If your home is in a Durham historic district, exterior equipment placement can have additional review. We normally site the unit inside the garage to avoid it.

Permits and inspection in Durham

Electrical permits for Durham are issued by City of Durham Inspections Department, and power is supplied by Duke Energy Progress. We pull the permit in our name, book the inspection and meet the inspector on site. You do not need to file anything or take a day off work for it.

Neighbourhoods we work in

We install regularly across Trinity Park, Old West Durham, Hope Valley, Southpoint and Woodcroft, along with the rest of Durham — around 285,000 people and growing.

What a Tesla Wall Connector install involves

The Gen 3 Wall Connector can draw up to 48A on a 60A circuit, which gets most Teslas around 44 miles of range per hour. Whether your home can support the full 48A depends on the load calculation, not just the panel label — we check that before quoting rather than after.

If your service will not carry 48A, the unit can be commissioned at a lower amperage and still charge overnight comfortably. We will tell you which applies to your house on the call.

Common questions in Durham

Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Durham?
Yes. Electrical permits in Durham go through City of Durham Inspections Department, and the install has to pass inspection. We pull the permit and meet the inspector — it is part of the job, not an extra.
How long does an install take in Durham?
Three to five hours for a standard install, usually finished in one visit. We are 35 minutes from our Garner base, so scheduling is rarely the bottleneck.
Will my Durham home need a panel upgrade?
Durham splits sharply. South Durham and the areas near RTP are largely post-2000 with modern 200A panels. The historic neighbourhoods — Trinity Park, Old West Durham, Watts-Hillandale — are frequently 1920s to 1950s housing where 100A service is still common and a panel upgrade is part of the job.
Can you install a charger I bought myself?
Yes — Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, Emporia, Grizzl-E and most others. Our install price is the same whether you supply the unit or we do.
