Dr. Tope Ade says, "I had Charles of ESS Electric do some work in my newly built home in May; he installed new lights in my home office and also a new outlet for my TV; I watched Him do the work with precision and excellence. We had a hitch when he was carefully drilling around the basement ceiling in order to avoid cutting holes through my walls and he handled it with the utmost respect and integrity. He ensured that the issue was fixed and completely resolved before we closed out the sale. His customer service is above the chart; anything higher than excellent will apply to him; he kept at it an ensured that I was extremely satisfied and happy before we closed out on the job. This is a young man in business and I think his diligence, excellence, integrity and customer care is worth studying. Charles, remain consistent and as you grow and hire people to work for you, ensure that they keep up to your standards. When Im ready to build out my basement, Charles will definitely be my choice for any electrical work I need to get done. Thank you! Ill give you 7 stars if available! God bless you!"See more

“Many EV charging problems actually stem from simple issues like damaged cables or worn connectors — typically quick fixes for a knowledgeable pro. Catching these early may prevent more costly repairs or replacement later.“

Maurice C. says, "I can’t recommend John highly enough. When the power went out in my garage, I was preparing myself to spend hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars on rewiring. After talking with several people, I kept hearing the same advice: “Check the breakers in your house.” I did, and everything appeared to be on, so I assumed the problem had to be something major. John took a much more thorough approach. Instead of jumping to expensive conclusions, he methodically diagnosed the issue and discovered that the problem wasn’t where everyone else thought it was. Within a short amount of time, he located a tripped breaker in a completely different location that nobody had considered. That level of expertise, attention to detail, and troubleshooting saved me hundreds of dollars and a lot of unnecessary stress. Rather than selling me an expensive repair I didn’t need, he found the actual problem and fixed it quickly. Because of that experience, I’ve already booked him again to install additional lighting in my garage. If you’re looking for an electrician who is honest, knowledgeable, efficient, and committed to finding the right solution instead of the most expensive one, this is the person to call. Highly recommended."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Yes, EV chargers can often be repaired, so you don't generally need to buy a new one. A qualified technician can fix common issues like faulty cables, connector problems, or software glitches. Replacement is usually only necessary in the case of complex internal failures. Be sure to check your manufacturer's warranty to see what's covered.

A problem with the power supply, like a tripped circuit breaker, is the most common reason an EV charger stops working. Damaged cables or connectors are also frequent culprits. Before calling for a repair, try resetting the charger to clear any potential software glitches, as this can often solve the issue.

You can expect most EV chargers to last for about 10 years, depending on factors like frequent use, exposure to the elements, and the quality of the initial installation. Getting your charger installed correctly from the start is one of the best ways to make sure it has a long, reliable life. The U.S. Department of Energy also recommends regular maintenance, such as storing cables properly and keeping your charging equipment clean.

Yes, it's usually worth it to hire an electrician instead of doing the work yourself.

Electrical work can be very dangerous. The pros spend many years working and studying before they become licensed and certified. That knowledge and training can help them work safely and perform the job without harming themselves or your home. 

Even a small wiring repair job can be unsafe if not done correctly. Hiring someone that has specialized training on how to do each specific job is the safest choice.

Common signs it’s time to repair your EV charger include:

  • Your vehicle is taking much longer to charge than usual or isn't reaching a full charge.

  • The unit shows no signs of power, or it fails to start a charging session when you plug in your car.

  • You notice new or flashing fault lights, error codes, or other warning messages on the display.

  • You find visible damage, such as a frayed cable, a cracked casing, or a broken connector plug.

  • The charger, cable, or plug feels unusually hot to the touch while in use.

Before hiring someone to repair your EV charger, be sure to ask your pro these questions:

  • Are you a licensed electrician, and do you carry insurance for this type of work?

  • How much experience do you have with my specific brand and model of EV charger?

  • What is your process for diagnosing the problem?

  • Can you provide a detailed, itemized estimate before you begin?

  • How long do you expect the repair to take?

  • Do you offer a warranty on your labor and any parts you install?

  • Will you use original manufacturer parts or aftermarket alternatives for the repair?
