Mike Holmes-With the rise of electric vehicles across Canada, many homeowners in Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto are upgrading their homes with EV chargers. But according to experts like Mike Holmes, the surge in installations has also led to an increase in fire risks caused by improper electrical work.
A common misconception is that EV chargers can simply be plugged in and used. In reality, Level 2 chargers require dedicated circuits, specific wiring sizes, and breakers designed to handle sustained high loads. Homes in older cities like Ottawa and Montreal often need panel upgrades before installation can be done safely.
Moisture control is another overlooked factor. Regions like Edmonton and Calgary face extreme seasonal temperature changes that can cause condensation in garages. Without proper insulation or protective equipment, wiring can corrode and overheat. This makes professional installation not just recommended but essential.
