That portable charger that came with your EV takes nearly 24 hours to charge your battery. If you’re commuting anywhere beyond Speonk, that’s not going to cut it. You’re either planning trips around public charging stations or constantly calculating whether you have enough range to make it home.
A Level 2 home charging station changes that completely. You pull into your driveway, plug in your car, and by morning you have a full charge. Every single day. It adds 25-40 miles of range per hour, which means a full overnight charge while you sleep.
Most Speonk homeowners save between $1,200 and $1,800 per year on fuel costs alone. Charging at home costs about $0.03-0.04 per mile compared to $0.07-0.14 per mile for gasoline. That’s real money back in your pocket every month, and you never have to sit at a charging station again.
Marra Electric has been serving Suffolk County homeowners for over 20 years. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we’ve earned the Angie’s List Super Service Award seven years running. That doesn’t happen by accident.
We know Speonk homes. Many were built in the 1970s and 1980s with electrical systems that weren’t designed for today’s loads. We’ve upgraded panels, rewired homes with aluminum wiring, and installed hundreds of EV chargers across Suffolk County. We recognize the issues before they become problems.
You get upfront pricing, free estimates, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every installation. Our team shows up on time, in company vehicles, and we handle every permit and inspection required by Suffolk County. No surprises, no runarounds.
First, we come out to your Speonk home for a free estimate. We check your electrical panel, measure the distance from the panel to where you want the charger installed, and assess whether your current system can handle the load. Most homes need 150-200 amp service to safely run an EV charger alongside everything else you’re already using.
If your panel needs an upgrade, we handle that first. We pull the permits, coordinate the inspection with Suffolk County, and install a modern panel that gives you the capacity you need. Then we install the charging station exactly where you want it—usually in your garage or driveway.
We mount the charger, run the wiring, install the dedicated circuit with proper GFCI protection, and make sure everything is grounded and weatherproofed to code. Then we test the system, walk you through how to use it, and schedule the final inspection. You’re typically charging your car within a few days of us starting the work.

You get a complete EVSE installation that passes Suffolk County inspections the first time. That includes the charger itself, a dedicated 240-volt circuit, proper breaker installation, GFCI protection, weatherproof enclosures if needed, and all the wiring run to code.
If your panel can’t handle the additional load, we upgrade it. Many Speonk homes still run on 60-100 amp panels that were fine decades ago but can’t safely support modern electrical demands. A panel upgrade isn’t just about your EV charger—it’s about your home’s overall electrical safety and capacity for years to come.
We also handle every permit application and inspection. Suffolk County has specific requirements that differ from Nassau County and New York City. We know exactly what inspectors look for, and we make sure your installation meets every code requirement before they ever show up.
Most installations in Speonk run between $1,200 and $2,800 depending on the distance from your panel, whether you need an upgrade, and which charger you choose. PSEG Long Island customers can get a $100 rebate on qualified Level 2 chargers, and if you’re in a Disadvantaged Community or on the Household Assistance Program, that rebate jumps to $400. We help you navigate those rebates so you’re not leaving money on the table.
Most installations take one to two days depending on whether you need a panel upgrade. If your existing electrical panel has the capacity and the charger location is close to the panel, we can often complete the installation in a single day.
If you need a panel upgrade, that adds time. We have to pull permits, schedule inspections with Suffolk County, and coordinate the work with PSEG Long Island to temporarily disconnect and reconnect your service. The entire process usually takes three to five days from start to finish, but you’re only without power for a few hours during the actual panel swap.
Weather can affect outdoor work, and permit approval times vary, but we keep you updated throughout the process. Once the charger is installed and inspected, you’re charging that same day.
It depends on your current panel’s capacity and what else you’re running in your home. A Level 2 charger typically requires a 40-60 amp dedicated circuit. If your panel is already near capacity or you’re still running on an older 60-100 amp service, you’ll need an upgrade.
Most modern homes need 150-200 amp service to safely handle central air, kitchen appliances, home offices, and an EV charger all running simultaneously. We see this constantly in Speonk—homes built in the 1970s and 1980s that are still operating on electrical systems designed for a completely different lifestyle.
During your free estimate, we assess your panel and let you know exactly what’s required. If you need an upgrade, we explain why, what it costs, and what it gets you beyond just the ability to charge your car. A panel upgrade improves your home’s overall safety and gives you room for future electrical needs.
You legally can’t in Suffolk County, and you shouldn’t anywhere. Professional installation is required to pass local inspections, and DIY installations void most charger warranties and can void your homeowner’s insurance if something goes wrong.
EV charger installation isn’t like replacing an outlet. You’re running a dedicated 240-volt circuit that draws continuous high-amperage loads. One mistake—improper grounding, undersized wire, a loose connection—creates serious fire hazards. Electrical issues cause over 51,000 home fires every year, and many start with amateur electrical work.
Beyond safety, Suffolk County requires permits and inspections for this type of work. Inspectors will fail a DIY installation that doesn’t meet code, and then you’re paying a licensed electrician to fix it anyway. You end up spending more money and creating liability that follows you if you ever sell the home. The few hundred dollars you think you’re saving costs you thousands in the long run.
PSEG Long Island offers a $100 rebate for qualified Level 2 EV chargers. If you’re located in a Disadvantaged Community or enrolled in their Household Assistance Program, that rebate increases to $400. You apply for the rebate after installation, and PSEG processes it within a few weeks.
There’s also a federal tax credit—the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit—that covers 30% of your installation cost up to $1,000. You claim this when you file your taxes, and it applies to the total cost including labor, materials, and the charger itself.
If you’re on PSEG’s Time-of-Day Rate 195, you can save an additional 40% on electricity costs by charging during off-peak hours, which is typically overnight when you’re sleeping anyway. We walk you through all available rebates and rate programs during your estimate so you’re maximizing every dollar.
That depends on your vehicle, your daily driving habits, and your budget. Tesla owners often choose the Tesla Wall Connector because it integrates seamlessly with their vehicle and app. If you have a different EV or want a universal option, ChargePoint and JuiceBox are solid choices that work with any electric vehicle.
The key specs to look at are amperage and charging speed. A 40-amp charger adds about 30 miles of range per hour. A 48-amp charger adds closer to 40 miles per hour. For most Speonk residents commuting locally or into the city, either option fully charges your vehicle overnight.
We help you choose based on your specific situation. If you’re driving 30 miles a day, you don’t need the most expensive fastest charger on the market. If you’re doing 80 miles a day or you have multiple EVs, you might want more capacity. We give you honest recommendations based on what actually makes sense for your household, not what makes us the most money.
Most Speonk homeowners spend between $1,200 and $2,800 for a complete installation. That includes the charger, all materials, labor, permits, and inspections. Where you fall in that range depends on three main factors: the charger you choose, the distance from your electrical panel to the installation location, and whether you need a panel upgrade.
If your panel has capacity and the charger is going in your garage right next to it, you’re looking at the lower end. If we’re running 50 feet of conduit to a driveway charger and upgrading your panel from 100 to 200 amps, you’re looking at the higher end.
We give you upfront pricing during the free estimate. No surprises, no hidden fees. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start any work, and that price includes everything needed to get your charger installed and inspected.
