What we do
American Electrical Services handles EV Charger Installation for home garages and driveways throughout Meridian, ID. Whether you're installing a Level 2 charger for overnight charging or need your panel evaluated before the work starts, our licensed technicians take care of every step — from pulling the right permit to making sure your home's electrical system can safely handle the added load.
We install all major charger brands and work with both attached and detached garages, as well as outdoor driveway setups. If your home needs a Panel Upgrade before the charger can be added safely, we'll let you know upfront — no surprises, no pressure.
Why Meridian homeowners call us

- Wanting it done safely — DIY charger installs can void your homeowner's insurance and create real fire hazards; a licensed install protects your home and your warranty

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Meridian, ID?

Will my home's existing electrical panel support an EV charger?
