DCC Load Management System Install

DCC Load Management with EV Charger Install

An electrical calculation has determined that your electrical service cannot accommodate a new EV Charger Load, we always recommend a service upgrade for detached homes and load management systems for non-detached homes.

How it works:

The load management system will monitor your electrical panel’s total power. Once 80% of your panel capacity has been met the DCC will disconnect your EV Charger from the panel. The charger will be reconnected once the value has dropped below 80% for approx 15mins.

Budget:

Install package prices start from $2900 plus tax, and electrical permit costs vary. Additional charges that are not included in the electrical scope – drywall/paint repair, roof repair, building envelope repair, asbestos testing/abatement (required for homes built prior to 1990). Price is subject to a site visit.

Step 1: Prepare Budget:

Step 2: On-Site Visit
