What we do for Vale homeowners
Our licensed electricians handle the full EV Charger Installation from start to finish — whether your charger goes in an attached garage, a detached shop, or right on your driveway. We assess your existing panel, recommend the right Level 2 charger circuit for your vehicle and your home's setup, pull any required permits, and leave everything clean and code-compliant. If your panel needs room to grow first, we can discuss Panel Upgrades in the same visit so you have a clear picture of the whole project before any work begins.
Why Vale neighbors call us for this
- Slow overnight charging is a real problem. A 120-volt outlet can take 24 hours or more to fully charge some EVs. A proper 240-volt Level 2 circuit cuts that to a few hours.
- Older homes need a professional look first. Many Vale homes weren't built with EV charging in mind. Our licensed techs check your panel capacity so there are no surprises.
- Permit and code requirements matter. Malheur County and the state of Oregon have electrical code requirements for EV circuits. We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.
- DIY wiring is a real risk. A dedicated 240-volt circuit done wrong can damage your vehicle, void your charger warranty, or create a fire hazard. Licensed work protects your investment.
- You need someone who can actually show up. Vale is a smaller community, and not every contractor from the valley makes the drive reliably. We do.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a panel upgrade before you can install an EV charger at my Vale home?
Not always — it depends on your panel's current capacity and how many circuits are already in use. Our licensed technician will assess your panel during the visit and let you know upfront. If a Panel Upgrade is needed, we'll include it in your flat-rate quote so you have the full picture before we start any work.
How long does a home EV charger installation typically take?
Most straightforward Level 2 EV Charger Installation jobs are completed in a few hours. If conduit needs to be run a longer distance or a panel upgrade is involved, it may take longer — but we'll give you a realistic time estimate when we provide your written quote.
Is American Electrical Services licensed to do electrical work in Oregon?
Yes. Our license number is 3671445 and it covers the electrical work we perform for homeowners in Vale, OR and the surrounding region. You're welcome to verify that license before we begin, and it appears on every invoice we provide.
