i had a home ev charging station placed in my garage in may 2022 by west water electric ltd
installer name bryan fajkovic agreed to do the job for $700.00.
in doing the installation an underground cable had to be placed from electrical panel in home to the detached garage. i the home owner had to do all the digging to place the cable to get to the garage. (it was west waters electric's job to the labor work)
upon completion of the work, bryan fajkovic tells me the cost is $1300.00. $600 dollars above the price i was quoted.
i wasn't happy that bryan fajkovic, of west waters electric ltd didn't inform me that the quote had changed. i reluctantly paid him the $1300.00
a few weeks ago i started getting message on my ev app that the charging of the vehicle was reduced because the cable was overheating (a fire hazard)
i called blue crest electric ltd. (bbb) to come in and advise what needed to be done to resolve this issue.
the following are the things blue crest electric found;
1. west waters electric ltd used a wrong breaker a (cutler happer) in a siemens breaker which is illegal and can cause a fire
2. branch circuit for ev charger was entered thru breaker compartment which again is illegal.
i would not recommend using west waters electric for any electrical work as their work is cutting corners which could lead to an electrical fire. read more
