Serving Ithaca, NY
In Ithaca, in Tompkins County, Charge Home Solutions provides expert EV charger installation, Tesla Powerwall backup, 200-amp panel upgrades, generators, and everyday electrical service. A clean-energy-focused university city, Ithaca leads its region in EV charging and solar-plus-storage.
In New York, winter storms and aging infrastructure make backup power a growing priority. Cold winters affect EV range and heating loads, so panel capacity matters, so we size every system to the way you actually use power.
From a single dedicated circuit to a full electrical panel replacement, we right-size every Ithaca job with a proper load calculation, no guesswork, no upselling. Surge protection and grounding upgrades quietly protect Ithaca homes full of sensitive electronics, and they are inexpensive insurance against storm-driven spikes.
Because we are Tesla Energy Certified, Ithaca Wall Connector and Powerwall installs are done to manufacturer spec and stay under warranty. We know Con Edison and National Grid requirements across the state. We pull the permit, coordinate inspection, and hand you the documentation.
Most Ithaca homes are served by Con Edison / National Grid, and we handle the interconnection and permitting that come with adding an EV charger or battery on that system. NYSERDA storage incentives can offset part of the cost, and we identify what applies at your address during the free estimate.
EV charging is the request we hear most in Ithaca. A dedicated 240-volt circuit is the heart of the job: correctly sized wire, a dedicated breaker, and a code-compliant run from your panel to the parking spot. Simple garage installs land at the low end of the $400–$1,500 range; long runs and finished walls add labor. Either way, you charge overnight and wake up full.
Battery backup has moved from luxury to mainstream in New York. The Tesla Powerwall 3 delivers 11.5kW of output, enough to start air conditioning, and stores 13.5kWh per unit. One unit carries essentials through an overnight outage; two or three back up most Ithaca homes completely. With the federal credit expired, state and utility storage programs now carry the savings, and /savings-finder/ matches them to your address.
Panel work is where every electrification project starts or stalls. Our Ithaca electricians run a real load calculation before recommending anything: many homes have more spare capacity than owners expect, and smart load management often avoids a $1,500–$4,000 upgrade entirely. When the upgrade is genuinely needed, it's one day of work and decades of headroom.
From first call to finished work, Ithaca projects follow a clear path: free assessment and load calculation, a fixed written price, permit filed with Tompkins County, installation by a licensed and Tesla-certified electrician, and municipal inspection to close it out. You're never guessing about cost, schedule, or code compliance. Financing is available on qualifying projects, and we identify every rebate and tax credit you qualify for as part of the estimate, not as an afterthought.
