Both work. A hardwired wall charger (like a Tesla wall connector) is tidy; a 240V receptacle such as a NEMA 14-50 lets you use the charger that came with your car. We'll help you choose.

We check before installing. If there isn't room, options include a load calculation, a smaller charger setting or a panel upgrade.

Yes.

A listed kit that mounts on your panel and mechanically prevents the main breaker and generator breaker from being on at the same time, so you can't backfeed the utility lines.

A whole-home SPD installs at your main panel and helps protect everything downstream — AC equipment, pool automation, appliances and electronics.

Point-of-use surge strips are still a good idea for sensitive electronics. They work alongside whole-home protection.

Yes. Just tell us who the contact person is when you call or text.

Yes — pool and amenity electrical is core work for us.

Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections scheduled.

Yes. We repair or replace mobile and manufactured home pedestals, including meter pedestals, and the feeder to the home. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection. If the meter has to come out, the utility pulls and resets it; we coordinate that with them.

It depends on the park. The park's prospectus or rules say who provides and maintains the electrical equipment on each lot. Some parks own the pedestals; in others, each homeowner does. If you're not sure, ask the park office.

Yes. We coordinate with park or community management, including when the park owns the pedestals. Tell us who the park or community manager is when you call or text.

Check the plug on your RV's power cord. A 30-amp RV plug has three prongs and runs on 120 volts (TT-30). A 50-amp plug has four prongs and runs on 120/240 volts (NEMA 14-50). Text us a photo of the plug and we'll tell you which one you need.

No, not safely as a plug-in. A dryer outlet is a 240-volt circuit wired for a dryer. A 30-amp RV runs on 120 volts, and a mismatched adapter can send 240 volts into the RV and damage it. A 50-amp RV plug needs a proper 50-amp RV outlet (NEMA 14-50) on its own correctly sized circuit. We install the right outlet for your RV.
