Great question! Your EV charger is an intricate electrical device, and just like any piece of complex machinery, it needs routine maintenance to operate efficiently. Regular testing and diagnostics can catch potential issues early, helping you avoid unexpected failures, increased energy bills, and safety risks like electric shocks or fires.

We perform a variety of tests that cover all your bases. This includes GFCI trip tests to check the effectiveness of your circuit breaker, PE grounding tests to ensure safe grounding, voltage measurement tests to optimize electrical flow, and insulation tests to examine the integrity of your wires. It’s a comprehensive approach designed to make your home EV charging station as safe and efficient as possible.

While some basic checks can be done at home, many tests require specialized equipment and expertise to be performed accurately and safely. Especially when it comes to safety features like ground fault checks or insulation integrity, it’s crucial to have professional diagnostics to ensure the highest safety standards.

The frequency of tests can depend on various factors like your charger’s age, usage, and even the electrical infrastructure of your home. However, as a rule of thumb, an annual diagnostic check-up is generally advisable for peace of mind and optimal performance.

No worries! Most of these tests are quick and non-intrusive, designed to cause minimal disruption to your daily routine. In many cases, you’ll be able to use your charger almost immediately after the diagnostics are completed, ensuring that you can get back on the road as soon as possible.
