What to ask before you hire
About Bear Copper Electric

- Ask for a certificate of their liability insurance.
- Ask for the workmanship warranty in writing: how many years, and what it covers.
- Check each certification on the maker's or group's own website. Contractors must renew them.
Worth asking any EV charger installer
- Is my panel big enough, or does it need an upgrade first?
- Where will the wire run, and what does each extra foot cost?
- Who pulls the permit, and who meets the inspector?
