Protect your home: 3 things to ask before hiring an EV or Generator installer. 📜👇
High-voltage installations like standby generators and EV charging stations require precise load calculations and strict code compliance. Lately, we've noticed an uptick in local "low-ball" offers that end up costing homeowners thousands in repairs later.
If you are getting quotes, here are three major red flags that mean you should walk away:
1️⃣ "We don't need a permit for this job." * The Truth: This is a massive red flag. Legitimate, licensed electrical contractors always pull permits for EV chargers and generators. Unpermitted work is illegal, voids manufacturer warranties, and can cause your homeowner’s insurance to deny a claim if an issue occurs.
2️⃣ The price is drastically lower than other quotes. * The Truth: If a quote seems too good to be true, they are likely cutting corners on wire size, using sub-par breakers, or skipping the required load calculations for your panel.
3️⃣ They cannot provide a copy of their Master or Contractor License.
The Truth: "Licensed and insured" shouldn't just be a line on a truck. A reputable pro will gladly show you their credentials.
At Ferrero Electric LLC, we do things the right way. We calculate the loads, pull the municipal permits, handle the inspections, and stand behind our work.
Don't risk your family's safety or your property's value to save a quick buck.
