A full charge. A fresh start.

  • Charger placement and cable routing planned around how you park
  • Electrical capacity assessment before any equipment is ordered
  • Dedicated circuit, permitting, and inspection handled for you

    I've worked with a lot of electricians over the years, both personally and professionally. As a realtor, reliable trades are everything. Jordan and his crew at Tension Electric are truly among the best — recessed lighting, panel upgrades, EV chargers, removing old knob and tube wiring, even entire house rewires. Efficient, on time, reliable, well-priced and always pleasant to work with.

    Jordan and his team installed our Level 2 charger, and we were quite pleased with the results. He communicated clearly through the entire process, explaining our options, completing work on schedule, and cleaning thoroughly after.
