Charging at Home on Your Schedule
DNI Heating and Air installs EV chargers for homes in Boulder, Colorado.
When you own an electric vehicle in Boulder, waiting at public charging stations takes time you could spend doing something else. A dedicated EV charger installed at your home lets you plug in when you park and wake up to a full battery, without routing your trips around commercial charging locations or dealing with occupied stations.
DNI Heating and Air installs Level 2 EV chargers that connect directly to your home's electrical system and deliver faster charging than a standard outlet. The installation includes mounting the charger unit in your garage or exterior wall, running the necessary wiring to your electrical panel, and making sure the circuit can handle the load. If your panel needs capacity added or upgraded for the charger to work safely, that gets addressed during the installation process.
If you're ready to charge at home in Boulder or want to know what your setup requires, contact DNI Heating and Air to schedule an installation evaluation.
How the Installation Works and What You'll Notice
Your installation begins with an evaluation of your electrical panel and the location where you want the charger mounted. DNI Heating and Air checks whether your current panel has the capacity to support the charger's amperage draw, measures the distance from the panel to the charging location, and determines what size circuit and wire gauge are needed. Most Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to what an electric dryer uses.
Once the charger is installed and operational, you'll notice that your vehicle charges in a few hours rather than overnight, depending on your battery size and charger output. You can plug in after work, run errands, and come back to a vehicle that's ready for the next day without planning around charging stops or waiting in line at public stations.
DNI Heating and Air also services and repairs EV chargers if you run into issues like a unit that won't start a charging session, connection errors, or physical damage to the cable or housing. The work follows local electrical codes in Boulder and includes testing the charger's output to confirm it's delivering power correctly and safely to your vehicle.
We're Here to Answer What You're Wondering
What does a Level 2 EV charger do that a regular outlet can't?
A Level 2 charger runs on 240 volts instead of 120, which delivers more power and charges your vehicle several times faster than plugging into a standard household outlet. Most vehicles gain around 25 miles of range per hour with a Level 2 charger, compared to 3 to 5 miles per hour on a standard outlet.
How do I know if my electrical panel can handle an EV charger?
DNI Heating and Air inspects your panel during the evaluation to see if there's available capacity and space for a new breaker. If your panel is older or already near its limit, you may need an upgrade to safely support the additional load the charger requires.
How long does the installation take?
Most installations in Boulder take between four and eight hours, depending on the distance from your panel to the charger location and whether any panel work is needed. You'll have a working charger the same day in most cases.
What happens if my charger stops working after it's been installed?
DNI Heating and Air provides service and repair for EV chargers, including diagnosing connection failures, testing the circuit, and replacing damaged components. If the issue is with the charger itself or the wiring, they'll identify it and get it working again.
Can the charger be installed outside or does it need to be in a garage?
Many EV chargers are rated for outdoor installation and can be mounted on an exterior wall near where you park. DNI Heating and Air will confirm the unit's weather rating and install it in the location that works best for your home layout and daily use.
