Andy is very conscientious and when install was not done perfect he fixed it to make it right. Hard to find contractors who guarantee their work here in the South.

Here is what to expect when you book an EV charger installation with Overwatch Electric.
We visit your property to check your electrical panel, available circuits, and the best route for running wire to your parking area or garage.
We confirm the charger model, circuit size, and any panel work needed, then pull the required permits before touching anything.
Our electricians run the dedicated circuit, mount the charging unit, and make all connections to code. Most residential installs are completed in a single visit.
We coordinate the required electrical inspection so your install is officially approved and your charger is ready to use with confidence.
Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.
Q1
Yes. Most EV charger installations in Columbia, SC require an electrical permit. Overwatch Electric handles the permit application and schedules the inspection so you do not have to manage that process yourself.
Q2
A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120-volt outlet and charges slowly, typically overnight or longer. A Level 2 charger runs on a 240-volt dedicated circuit and can fully charge most EVs in a few hours. Most homeowners find Level 2 worth the upgrade.
Q3
It depends on your panel's age, amperage, and how many circuits are already in use. We check this during the site visit. If your panel needs an upgrade first, we can handle that work as part of the same project.
Q4
Most residential Level 2 installations take three to five hours. If panel work is needed, the timeline extends. We give you a clear timeframe before scheduling so there are no surprises on installation day.
Q5
Yes. We install chargers in garages, carports, and outdoor locations. Outdoor installs use weatherproof hardware and conduit rated for exterior use to keep everything protected and up to code.
Q6
We do. Overwatch Electric installs commercial EV charging stations for offices, retail locations, apartment complexes, and other commercial properties across Columbia, Lexington, and the surrounding area.
Q7
We work with most major brands, including ChargePoint, Enel X JuiceBox, Tesla Wall Connector, and others. If you already have a charger you want installed, we can work with that too.
Q8
Call us at (803) 784-8386 or send a message to Andrew.craig@overwatchelectric.com. We will ask a few questions about your vehicle and property, then set up a time to come out and assess the job.
