Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about EV charger installations in Fairfax, VA
How long does an EV charger installation take?
A standard EV charger installation in Fairfax typically takes 3-5 hours to complete. However, this can vary depending on your home's electrical system, the distance from your electrical panel to the installation location, and whether any panel upgrades are needed. We'll provide a specific timeframe during your consultation.
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Fairfax?
Yes, Fairfax County requires an electrical permit for EV charger installations. As a licensed electrical contractor in Virginia, AJ Long Electric handles all permitting paperwork and schedules the required inspections on your behalf. This is included in our service price, so you don't need to worry about navigating the permitting process.
Will I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
It depends on your current electrical service and available capacity. Many homes in Fairfax have sufficient capacity for a Level 2 charger, but some older homes may require an upgrade. During our initial assessment, we'll evaluate your electrical panel to determine if an upgrade is necessary. If it is, we can include this as part of the installation project. We're also certified to install electrical panel upgrades.
What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V household outlet and typically provides about 4-5 miles of range per hour of charging. Level 2 charging uses a 240V circuit (like what powers your dryer or oven) and provides about 25-30 miles of range per hour, depending on your vehicle and charger model. Most EV owners prefer Level 2 charging for the significant speed advantage, especially if you drive frequently or have a longer commute.
Should I purchase my own charger or get one from you?
You can do either! We offer installation-only services if you've already purchased a charger, and we also provide complete packages that include high-quality chargers from leading brands. The advantage of purchasing through us is that we guarantee compatibility with your electrical system, provide a unified warranty on both the equipment and installation, and ensure you're getting a reliable, well-reviewed model appropriate for your needs.
Are there tax credits or rebates available for EV charger installation?
Yes! The federal government currently offers a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost (maximum $1,000) for home EV charger installations through the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit. Additionally, Dominion Energy in Virginia occasionally offers rebate programs for EV charger installations. During your consultation, we can provide up-to-date information on available incentives and how to claim them.
