Homeowners today are increasingly modernizing their properties with sustainable technologies and amenities. CoreTrade Electric successfully navigated the challenges of integrating new electrical infrastructure to support both EV charging capabilities and pool equipment for a Washington, DC, residence.
Overview
CoreTrade Electric recently completed a comprehensive electrical infrastructure upgrade for a residential property in Washington DC’s Harrison Street neighborhood. The project centered around adding electricity to a detached garage to support an electric vehicle charging station and an upcoming pool equipment installation.
Project Details
The primary challenge involved creating an electrical connection between the main house and the detached garage structure. The scope of work encompassed several key technical components, including:
- Strategic placement of underground conduit.
- Calculation of appropriate amperage requirements.
- Integration planning for future pool equipment.
- Compliance with local electrical codes and EV charging standards.
- Coordination with future pool contractor needs.
The team implemented a solution by trenching and installing underground conduit to establish a secure power connection to the garage. A 150-amp electrical panel was installed, specifically sized to accommodate the EV charging station’s power requirements and the future swimming pool equipment needs.
Outcome
The successful completion of this project positioned the homeowner’s property for both immediate and future needs. The new electrical infrastructure now provides:
- A fully powered detached garage ready for EV charging installation.
- Sufficient electrical capacity for the planned swimming pool equipment.
- A professional-grade installation that meets all relevant building codes.
- A turnkey solution that allows for seamless integration with the upcoming pool construction project.
CoreTrade Electric was happy to assist this DC homeowner with electrical solutions that meet their immediate needs and anticipate and accommodate future property improvements.
