That portable Level 1 charger that came with your car barely keeps up with your daily commute. You’re spending 20-plus hours to get a full charge, constantly doing math on whether you have enough battery to make it through tomorrow’s errands.
A Level 2 home EV charging station installation in Mastic changes that completely. You pull into your driveway, plug in, and by morning you have a full charge. Every single day. It’s as simple as charging your phone overnight.
With over 33,000 electric vehicles registered in Suffolk County as of December 2024, and that number jumping almost 40% in just one year, you’re not alone in needing a real charging solution at home. The difference is whether you’re stuck planning your life around public charging stations or you’ve got reliable charging right in your garage.
Charging at home costs you about $0.03 to $0.04 per mile. Compare that to what you’d pay for gas or even public charging stations, and the math makes sense fast. Plus, PSEG offers rebates up to $300 on Level 2 chargers, and federal tax credits cover 30% of your installation costs up to $1,000.
We’ve been handling electrical work across Suffolk County for over 20 years. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we know exactly what Mastic homeowners deal with when it comes to older electrical panels, Suffolk County permit requirements, and PSEG coordination.
We’re also Tesla certified, which matters when 58% of Long Island’s EVs are Teslas. Whether you’re driving a Model 3, a Jeep Wrangler 4xe, or a Ford Mustang Mach-E, we’ve installed chargers for them all.
You’ll get upfront pricing before we start any work. No surprise bills when the job’s done. We show up in professionally lettered vehicles, in uniform, and we guarantee our work 100%. If something’s not right, we come back and fix it.
First, we assess your current electrical system. Many homes in Mastic were built before 2000 and have 100-amp service. If that’s your situation, you’ll likely need a panel upgrade to 200 amps to safely handle a Level 2 charger. We’ll tell you upfront whether that’s necessary and what it costs.
Next, we pull the required electrical permit through Suffolk County. Almost all Level 2 EV charger installations in Mastic require permits to meet local safety codes. We handle that paperwork so you don’t have to figure out what the county needs.
Then we install your charger. That includes running the proper gauge wiring from your panel to wherever you’re parking, mounting the charging unit, and making sure everything’s wired to code. If you’ve got a Tesla Wall Connector, we install those regularly and know the specific requirements.
Finally, we coordinate the inspection and make sure everything passes. You’re left with a charging station that works reliably and safely every time you plug in.

Your EVSE installation in Mastic includes a complete electrical assessment to determine if your current panel can handle the load. If you need a panel upgrade, we’ll give you a clear price for that work before moving forward. Most panel upgrades in Suffolk County run between $2,000 and $3,500 depending on your home’s setup.
We install all major Level 2 charger brands, including Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, and Grizzl-E units. The charger itself typically costs between $400 and $600, with total installation costs in Mastic ranging from $1,200 to $2,800 depending on the distance from your panel and whether upgrades are needed.
You’ll also get help navigating PSEG rebates and federal tax credits. PSEG offers $200 back on ENERGY STAR certified Level 2 chargers, with an additional $100 for homes in Disadvantaged Communities. The federal government covers 30% of your total installation cost, up to $1,000. We’ll make sure you have the documentation you need to claim both.
Every installation comes with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. We’ve earned the Angie’s List Super Service Award seven years running because we show up on time, do the work right, and don’t leave until you’re satisfied.
Most Level 2 EV charger installations in Mastic take one day if your electrical panel is already adequate. We’ll spend a few hours running the wiring from your panel to your garage or driveway, mounting the charging unit, and making all the connections.
If you need a panel upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp service, that adds time. The panel upgrade itself usually takes a full day, and then we’ll schedule the charger installation once that work passes inspection.
Suffolk County requires permits for this work, which means there’s also inspection scheduling to factor in. We handle all the permit paperwork and coordinate with the county inspector. From the day you call us to the day you’re charging your car, you’re typically looking at one to two weeks depending on permit processing and inspection availability.
It depends on your current panel’s capacity and what else is running in your home. A Level 2 EV charger typically draws 40 to 50 amps. If you’ve got a 100-amp panel and you’re already running central air, electric heat, or other high-draw appliances, you probably don’t have enough capacity left over.
Most homes in Mastic built before 2000 have 100-amp service. That was fine before EVs became common, but it’s often not enough now. Upgrading to 200-amp service gives you the headroom you need not just for your EV charger, but for anything else you might add down the road.
We’ll do a full assessment of your current electrical system during the estimate. If an upgrade is necessary, we’ll explain why and give you an upfront price. Panel upgrades in Suffolk County typically cost between $2,000 and $3,500. It’s not a small expense, but it’s a one-time investment that makes your home safer and more capable.
The portable charger that came with your EV is a Level 1 charger. It plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet and delivers about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging. If you’ve got a 60-kWh battery, you’re looking at 20-plus hours for a full charge.
A Level 2 charger runs on 240 volts, the same as your dryer or electric stove. It delivers 25 to 30 miles of range per hour, sometimes more depending on the charger and your vehicle. That same 60-kWh battery? Fully charged in 4 to 6 hours.
If you’re only driving 20 miles a day, a Level 1 charger might keep up. But if you’re commuting to Patchogue or Riverhead for work, running errands, or taking weekend trips, Level 1 charging becomes a bottleneck fast. A Level 2 home charging station keeps your car ready without you having to think about it.
Technically, if you’re a licensed electrician, yes. But if you’re not, this isn’t a DIY project. Suffolk County requires permits for Level 2 EV charger installations, and those permits require a licensed electrician to pull them and complete the work.
There’s also the safety factor. You’re running a 240-volt, 40-to-50-amp circuit. If the wiring isn’t sized correctly, if the breaker isn’t rated properly, or if connections aren’t tight, you’re looking at potential fire hazards. Your homeowner’s insurance might not cover damage from unpermitted electrical work either.
The cost difference between doing it yourself and hiring a licensed electrician isn’t as big as you’d think once you factor in the permit, the inspection, the right materials, and the time involved. And when you hire a licensed EV charger electrician in Mastic like us, the work is guaranteed and you’re covered if anything goes wrong.
Yes, your electric bill will go up, but it’s still way cheaper than buying gas. Charging an EV at home costs about $0.03 to $0.04 per mile. If you’re driving 1,000 miles a month, that’s $30 to $40 added to your electric bill.
Compare that to a gas car getting 25 miles per gallon at $3.50 per gallon. That same 1,000 miles costs you $140 in gas. You’re saving $100 to $110 every month, or around $1,200 to $1,300 a year.
PSEG also offers time-of-use rates for EV owners. If you charge overnight during off-peak hours, your per-kilowatt-hour cost drops even further. Most Level 2 chargers let you schedule charging times, so you can set it to start at midnight and take advantage of those lower rates automatically.
For the PSEG rebate, your Level 2 charger needs to be ENERGY STAR certified. Most major brands like ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and Tesla Wall Connectors qualify. PSEG offers $200 back, and if your home is in a Disadvantaged Community, you get an additional $100 for a total of $300.
The federal tax credit covers 30% of your total installation cost, including the charger, wiring, labor, and any panel upgrades, up to $1,000. You claim that credit when you file your taxes using IRS Form 8911. You’ll need receipts showing the cost breakdown.
We’ll provide all the documentation you need for both the PSEG rebate and the federal tax credit. That includes itemized invoices, proof of the charger model, and confirmation that the installation meets code. Keep those records when you file, and you’ll get the money back without any issues.
