What to ask before you hire
- Your county license number, so I can check it before I sign?
- A certificate of insurance sent to me by your insurer, not a photo?
- Can my panel and service carry the charger, or is an upgrade needed?
- Who files for the electrical inspection?
- Where will the charger go, and how far is the wire run?
- Do any utility or state incentives apply?
