EV Charger Installation in Burnaby, BC
A Level 2 charger is a large continuous load. Installing it properly starts with whether your panel can carry it.
What a proper EV install includes
Most home EV chargers run at 32 to 48 amps continuously for hours at a time. That is a bigger sustained load than almost anything else in a house, which is why the install begins with a load calculation rather than a breaker.
In Burnaby, that's single-family homes needing a load calculation as often as it's multi-unit strata buildings weighing load-managed charging across several stalls at once.
- Load calculation to confirm the existing service can carry the charger
- Dedicated 240V circuit sized for the specific charger
- Hardwired or receptacle installation, indoor or outdoor rated
- Load management or sub-panel options where capacity is tight
- Multi-unit and workplace charging scoped as a commercial project
Why Burnaby jobs vary
Ongoing high-rise redevelopment in Metrotown, Brentwood, and Lougheed keeps commercial tenant-improvement and distribution work steady, alongside older single-family stock further from the SkyTrain corridors.

Common questions
Can strata buildings in Burnaby install load-managed EV charging?
Yes — load-managed charging across multiple stalls is a common solution for Burnaby strata buildings where a per-unit panel upgrade isn't practical.
Can you install a charger I already bought?
Yes, provided it is certified for use in Canada. Send the model and we will confirm the circuit and mounting requirements before scheduling.
Do I need a service upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. It depends on your existing service size and the rest of the load in the property. The load calculation answers it, and load management is often an alternative to a full upgrade.
