EV Charger Installation for Longview Properties
Many homes in Longview's historic core date to the oil boom of the 1930s and 40s, and original wiring and undersized panels from that era are a routine part of the work here. A Level 2 home charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit and, often, more panel capacity than the home currently has — which is why the first real question isn't which charger to buy, it's whether the panel can support it as-is.
Coverage extends across Longview, including Downtown Longview and Eastman Road Corridor, and the surrounding area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of Longview or just the downtown core?
Coverage extends across Longview and into the surrounding Gregg County area — call to confirm for a specific address near the edge of the service area.
Do you handle commercial electrical work tied to the oil and gas industry?
Yes — commercial and light-industrial electrical work is a regular part of the work in the Longview area.
Do downed lines from piney-woods ice storms get priority response?
Yes — downed lines and storm-related outages are treated as priority calls, the same as any other electrical emergency.
Are original panels from the oil-boom era still common in Longview homes?
Yes — original wiring and undersized panels from the 1930s-40s oil boom era are a routine part of the work in Longview's historic core.
Does my panel need to be upgraded to add an EV charger?
Not always — it depends on existing panel capacity and what else is already on it. A load calculation determines whether the charger fits as-is or needs a panel upgrade or load management device first.
Hardwired charger or an outlet — which is better?
Both are used depending on the charger model and homeowner preference; a hardwired connection is permanent, while a NEMA 14-50 outlet allows swapping charger units later.
Can I add a second EV charger later without redoing the panel?
Often yes, using a load management device that shares available capacity between two chargers rather than requiring a full panel upgrade.
