Most panel swaps take one day, plus the county or city inspection. See electrical panel upgrades ](/services/panel-upgrade/)[ ![Electric Sandro electrician in a hard hat working at a commercial switchgear cabinet](/images/electric-sandro-commercial-switchgear-work-800.webp) ## EV Charger Installation A Level 2 home charger runs on 240 volts and can fill most electric cars overnight. Most installs take a few hours to a day, depending on the distance from your panel and whether the panel has room. See ev charger installation ](/services/ev-charger-installation/)[ ![Electric Sandro electrician in front of an open main electrical panel](/images/electric-sandro-electrician-main-panel-800.webp) ## Whole-House Surge Protection A whole-house surge protector mounts at your breaker panel and sends voltage spikes to ground before they reach your circuits. Most installs take one to two hours when the panel has room for it.

A swap where wiring already exists often takes one to two hours.
