Anyone have personal experience with an electrician in/around Birmingham for installing a Tesla Wall Connector?

Tesla's site lists 2 - one has a non-functioning website and the other "On Time Service" I have no personal experience with other than annoying radio ads!

Thanks!

Sorry to have just now seen this. On-time charged me $1300 for 14-50 outlet 25 feet from the breaker box. They did a good job but their prices are a bit out there.

I know this is an old thread but if anyone finds this searching for electricians in Birmingham, I would steer clear of On-time. They do outstanding work but their prices are at least 2x what everyone else in town will charge. They did a ton of electrical work at our house after a snow storm (about $10,000 worth of electrical repairs) and the work was flawless but for out of pocket work, find someone cheaper. The mom and pop 1 or 2 man team will be plenty assuming they're licensed.

Jose or smallwood will be significantly cheaper. If the plug is going in near the breaker box, it shouldn't take more than an hour. My friend is an electrical engineer and knows all the codes/regulations and walked me through installing the 14-50 50 amp box in my garage.

I had all the parts ahead of time and it was a really quick install.

I used Power Up Electrical when I lived in Hoover. I paid a little bit less than what @doubleohwhat paid. This was for a NEMA-1450, in-wall, on the other side of the garage. I think the biggest thing that affects cost is how far the run is.
