When a Level 2 charger stops working, our crew runs a full diagnostic and repairs the common faults: GFCI nuisance trips, communication faults, circuit board failures, and physical damage. We service the major brands and will tell you honestly when a repair beats a replacement or when it is time to upgrade to a faster unit. The diagnostic is $150 CAD, with a typical repair running $250 to $800 CAD. The important thing to know before you buy a replacement: a large share of “broken charger” calls turn out not to be the charger. The circuit, the breaker pairing, the receptacle, or the connector is the culprit at least as often as the unit itself. Replacing a working charger is an expensive way to not fix the problem. That is why the diagnostic comes first, and why it is credited against whatever repair you authorize. ## What do the common faults look like? **Repeated breaker trips.** Usually GFCI stacking, where the charger’s own ground fault detection and a GFCI breaker interfere with each other, or moisture in an outdoor receptacle. Sometimes a genuine ground fault in the circuit, which is the one you actually want found. **Charging will not start.** Often a communication fault. Level 2 charging depends on a control pilot handshake between vehicle and charger, and a damaged cable, corroded pins, or a failing board breaks that conversation without cutting power. **Charging is slower than it used to be.** Frequently a configuration change rather than a fault, especially on units with app-set amperage. Occasionally thermal derating from a connector that is heating up under load, which is a real warning sign. **Scorched or melted connector housing.** Heat from a poor connection. Stop using it, switch the circuit off, and call us. This one is not a wait-and-see fault. ### Common problems we solve - **GFCI nuisance tripping** from incompatible breaker and charger pairings. - **Water ingress** in outdoor receptacles and enclosures after a Toronto winter. - **Failed circuit boards** on units past their manufacturer parts warranty. - **Damaged cables and connectors** from being driven over or left in a doorway. - **Non-compliant original installs** that were never permitted or inspected. ## How does the diagnostic work? We test in order, from the panel outward. Breaker and circuit first, including insulation and ground integrity. Then the charger’s supply, its internal protection, and its status codes. Then the connector, the pins, and the cable. Then the vehicle handshake with your car actually plugged in. You get the fault in writing along with the fix, the price, and an honest read on repair versus replacement. Where the unit is still inside its manufacturer parts warranty, typically 3 to 5 years depending on brand, we file the claim rather than selling you a part you are entitled to receive. After the repair we run a full charge session with the vehicle connected. A charger that powers up is not a charger that works, and we do not call it done until we have watched it deliver current cleanly. ## When is replacement the better buy? Three situations point that way. The board has failed on an out-of-warranty unit and the part costs 70 percent of a new charger. The unit is an early-generation 16A or 32A model and you would genuinely benefit from 48A. Or the enclosure has physical or water damage that makes a reliable repair unlikely. In any of those cases we credit the $150 diagnostic toward the new install, whether that is a hardwired Tesla Wall Connector [/tesla-wall-connector-installation/ →](/tesla-wall-connector-installation/) or another Level 2 unit, and we quote the replacement with the ESA permit and inspection included, exactly as we would a fresh install. If the new unit is ENERGY STAR certified, it may also qualify for the Home Renovation Savings program [/ontario-ev-rebate-filing/ →](/ontario-ev-rebate-filing/) , which we file for you. If the fault is sparking, smoking, or a burning smell, do not wait for a scheduled repair slot. Switch the circuit off at the panel and call our 24/7 emergency EV charger service [/emergency-ev-charger-service/ →](/emergency-ev-charger-service/) , which targets a 2-hour on-site response for safety-critical calls across the GTA.

Why Us ## Why choose us for ev charger repair? ### We diagnose before quoting parts Half of all charger faults are the circuit or the connector, not the charger. Replacing a working unit is the expensive mistake. ### Warranty claims handled If the unit is still inside its manufacturer parts warranty, we file the claim rather than selling you a part you should get free. ### Multi-brand service Tesla, ChargePoint Home Flex, Grizzl-E, JuiceBox, Wallbox, Emporia, Sun Country Highway, and FLO. ### Repair-vs-replace told straight When a repair costs 70 percent of a new unit, we say so and credit the diagnostic toward a replacement. ### Nuisance trips actually solved GFCI stacking, moisture ingress, and shared neutral issues each have a different fix. We find which one you have. ### Verified under real load We do not call it fixed until a full charge session runs clean with the vehicle connected. Process ## How does ev charger repair work? Four clear steps, with the ESA permit and inspection built into every one of them. 01 ### Describe the Fault What the charger does, what the lights show, and what the panel is doing. Some faults we can narrow down on the phone. 02 ### On-Site Diagnostic We test the circuit, the charger, the connector, and the vehicle handshake to find the actual failure point. 03 ### Written Options You get the fault, the fix, the price, and an honest read on whether repair or replacement is the better buy. 04 ### Repair and Verify We complete the authorized repair and run a full charge session to confirm the fault is genuinely gone.

Paul H. Bay Ridges, Pickering > "Charger kept tripping every second night. They traced it to the breaker pairing, swapped it, and it has not tripped since." Aisha R. Amberlea, Pickering > "Old bungalow, full panel. Instead of pushing a $4,000 upgrade they installed a subpanel and got the charger in for far less." Ron D. Don Mills, North York FAQ ## EV Charger Repair questions, answered How much does EV charger repair cost in Toronto? The on-site diagnostic is $150 CAD and is applied to any authorized repair. Typical repairs run $250 to $800 CAD depending on the fault and the parts. If the unit is still within its manufacturer parts warranty, we file the claim so you are not paying for a covered part. Why does my EV charger keep tripping the breaker? The usual causes are GFCI protection stacking between the charger's internal ground fault detection and a GFCI breaker, moisture in an outdoor receptacle or enclosure, a degraded connector, or a genuine ground fault in the circuit. Each has a different fix, which is why we test rather than guess. What is a communication fault? Level 2 charging depends on a handshake between the vehicle and the charger over the control pilot line. If that signal is degraded by a damaged cable, corroded pins, or a failing board, the session will not start even though power is present. The status light pattern usually points straight at it. Should I repair or replace my charger? Repair usually wins when the fault is the circuit, the connector, or a single replaceable component, and the unit is under five years old. Replacement usually wins when the board has failed on an out-of-warranty unit, or when you would benefit from moving from 32A to 48A anyway. We give you both numbers and let you decide. Which charger brands do you service? Tesla Wall Connector and Universal Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Grizzl-E Classic and Avalanche, JuiceBox Pro 32 and 40, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, Emporia, Sun Country Highway, and FLO Home G5, plus commercial units. My charger connector looks scorched. Is that urgent? Yes. Discoloured, melted, or scorched connector housings and pins mean heat from a poor connection, and that is a fire risk. Stop using the charger, switch the circuit off at the panel, and call us. If it is sparking or you smell burning, treat it as an emergency and use our 24/7 dispatch. Can you repair a charger installed by someone else? Yes, and we do it regularly. We will also tell you if we find the original install was unpermitted or non-compliant, and what it takes to bring it up to code with a proper ESA permit and inspection. How quickly can you get to a broken charger? Standard repair calls are usually booked within one to two business days. Safety-critical faults, meaning sparking, smoking, burning smells, or repeated tripping with visible damage, go to our 24/7 emergency dispatch with a target 2-hour on-site response.
