Charge at home — the right way
What we do
Our licensed technicians come to your Hidden Springs home, assess your electrical panel, and walk you through exactly what your garage or driveway setup requires. We handle every step:
- Dedicated 240-volt circuit installation for Level 2 EV chargers
- Panel capacity review and Panel Upgrades when your current setup needs more headroom
- Hardwired and plug-in charger configurations for all major EV brands
- Exterior driveway outlets installed weatherproof and up to code
- Permit coordination so your installation is fully legal and insurable
We work around your schedule and aim for same-day or next-day appointments whenever your calendar and ours line up.
Why Hidden Springs homeowners call us
We hear the same story pretty often out this way:
- "My EV came with a Level 1 cord and it takes three days to get a full charge."
- "I tried to figure out if my panel can handle a charger and got completely lost."
- "A friend had a charger installed by someone who wasn't licensed and it tripped breakers constantly."
- "I want a clean, permanent install in my garage — not a tangle of extension cords."
- "My HOA requires permitted electrical work and I need paperwork to prove it."
Those are exactly the situations we solve every week. Hidden Springs is a tight-knit community with newer homes, and we know the panel configurations common out here. When something doesn't look straightforward, we'll tell you before we start — not after.
The American Electrical Services promise
We keep things simple and honest on every job:
- Flat-rate pricing in writing — you see the full price before we touch a wire, with no surprise charges at the end
- Licensed technicians — every installer holds an Idaho electrical license (license no. 3671445), so your work is code-compliant and your home insurance stays intact
- Same-day scheduling when possible — we know waiting around isn't an option when your EV is sitting on an empty battery
- Workmanship guaranteed — if something isn't right after we leave, we come back and make it right, period
We also offer Electrical Repair, Lighting Installation, Generator Installation, and Panel Upgrades, so if your EV installation reveals a bigger issue, we can handle that in the same visit rather than sending you to find someone else.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for EV charger installation in Hidden Springs, ID?
Yes, a dedicated 240-volt circuit for a Level 2 EV charger typically requires an electrical permit in Idaho. American Electrical Services handles permit coordination as part of the installation, so your work is fully code-compliant and documented for your home insurance and HOA if needed.
Will my current electrical panel support a Level 2 EV charger?
Many newer Hidden Springs homes have sufficient panel capacity, but it depends on your current load and panel size. Our licensed technicians assess your panel during the visit and give you an honest answer upfront — if a Panel Upgrade is needed, we'll explain why and include it in your flat-rate quote before any work begins.
How long does EV charger installation usually take?
Most straightforward Level 2 charger installations in a garage or on an exterior wall take a few hours from start to finish. If additional work like a panel upgrade or longer conduit run is required, it may take longer — we'll give you a realistic time estimate along with your written quote.
