Serving San Antonio, TX
In San Antonio and Bexar County, Charge Home Solutions installs Tesla-certified EV chargers, Powerwall, and licensed electrical work. The city is served by CPS Energy, the nation's largest municipal utility, and after Texas's 2021 winter freeze, home batteries became a popular way to stay powered when the grid falters.
We pull the City of San Antonio or county permit and run a load calculation before quoting, older homes near Alamo Heights and Monte Vista often need a 200-amp upgrade for a Level 2 charger, while newer Stone Oak and Schertz builds usually have capacity. We factor in CPS Energy programs where they apply.
