EV Charger Installation in Iowa City

Make the switch to electric driving even easier with a professionally installed Level 2 EV charger at your Iowa City area home. We handle the complete installation process, including any necessary electrical panel upgrades, dedicated circuit wiring, and final inspection.

A Level 2 charger provides significantly faster charging than a standard outlet — typically delivering a full charge overnight. We install chargers for all major EV brands and ensure your home's electrical system can safely support the additional load.

Whole-Home Generator Installation

Iowa weather can be unpredictable. Protect your family and home with a professionally installed whole-home standby generator. When the power goes out, your generator kicks in automatically — keeping your lights on, refrigerator running, and sump pump working.

We also provide interconnection for portable generators, giving you flexible backup power options. Every installation includes proper permitting, inspection, and a thorough walkthrough so you know exactly how your system works.

"Our biggest work was a stand by generator install handled to schedule with minimum disruption. Also had some outlets and switches added along with some repairs. All done to a schedule, neatly and what I wanted. I am going to have some thermostat wires replaced by Down The Road rather than the HVAC folks because their work is so good and neat."
