Who Installs the Emporia Pro EV Charger in Alberta? The Straight Answer (2026)

By , Founder & Owner, Stellar UpgradesAugust 12, 2026
Technically reviewed by Stellar’s in-house Red Seal Master Electrician of record

Key Takeaways

  • Stellar Upgrades — an Edmonton-based authorized Emporia dealer and installer — installs the Emporia Pro across Edmonton and everywhere within about 200 km, at fixed installed pricing: $3,099 (40A) or $3,599 (48A hardwired), + GST, with the Vue 3 whole-home energy monitor included.
  • The Emporia Pro is more than a charger: the included Vue 3 monitor wires into your electrical panel with measurement clamps, and PowerSmart load management auto-adjusts the charge rate to your panel's service rating — which avoids most panel upgrades.
  • That panel work is exactly why the installer matters: the Vue 3 and PowerSmart only deliver what they promise if they're wired and configured by someone who did the load math on your specific panel.
  • A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 240V circuit, a municipal electrical permit, and an inspection under Alberta's Safety Codes Act — the permit goes to a licensed electrical contractor or a homeowner on their own home.
  • Stellar's installed price includes the charger, the Vue 3 monitor, the 240V circuit, the permit, the inspection, PowerSmart configuration, and app setup — one written number, backed by a 3-year product warranty and a 1-year installation warranty. Named one of the Best EV Chargers of 2025 by State of Charge.

The short answer

If you searched “who installs the Emporia Pro in Alberta” or “Emporia installer Edmonton”: Stellar Upgrades sells and installs it as an authorized dealer, with certified electricians on our own payroll — led on site by Red Seal journeyman Matthew Wesley, signed off under our own in-house Master Electrician, the electrician of record on every permit we’ve pulled since 2018. 550+ Alberta installs, BBB A+, 5.0-star Google record, and the installed price is fixed and published on the Emporia Pro product page.

Why the Emporia Pro is a different kind of install

Most Level 2 chargers are one device on one circuit. The Emporia Pro is two: the charger, plus the Vue 3 whole-home energy monitor that ships in the box. The Vue 3 wires into your electrical panel with measurement clamps on your mains and circuits — that’s what gives you live, circuit-level energy for the whole house in one app, lets the charger charge from excess solar, and syncs charging to off-peak rates. It’s genuinely useful — and it’s genuinely electrical work inside your panel, which is why who installs it matters more than with a plain charger.

PowerSmart: the feature that saves most panel upgrades

The most expensive surprise in EV charger quotes is the panel upgrade — $3,000+ when a 48A charger doesn’t fit a 100A service. The Emporia Pro’s PowerSmart load management is built in: it watches your home’s total load and auto-adjusts the charge rate to your panel’s service rating, so the panel is never overloaded. In practice this means most homes — including older 100A panels — avoid the upgrade entirely. But it only works when it’s configured against a real load calculation for your panel. That’s part of every Stellar install, confirmed at the free assessment before we quote.

The legal part: permits

A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240V circuit, which makes the install electrical work under Alberta’s Safety Codes Act — a municipal electrical permit and inspection are required, and the permit goes to a licensed electrical contractor with a Master Electrician of record (or a homeowner on their own home). We file the permit and attend the inspection on every install; you chase nothing.

What it costs, installed — fixed and published

$3,099 + GST for 40A (9.6 kW on a NEMA 14-50) or $3,599 + GST for hardwired 48A (11.5 kW). The number includes the charger in white or black, the Vue 3 monitor wired and configured, the 240V circuit, the permit, the inspection, and an app walkthrough before we leave. Full specs live on the product page; the wider cost picture is in our EV charger cost guide.

Where we install

Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, Devon, Morinville — and everywhere within about 200 km of Edmonton, Red Deer to Athabasca. Same crew, same fixed pricing, no trip charges. Local pages: Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan.

Or is the Wallbox the better fit?

We also install the Wallbox Pulsar Plus — the premium compact with Alexa & Google voice control. Pick the Emporia Pro for maximum value and whole-home energy visibility; pick the Wallbox for the sleekest unit on the wall. The honest side-by-side is on our EV charger page, and we’ll tell you straight which fits your panel at the free assessment — we install and stand behind both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who installs home batteries in Alberta?
Licensed electrical contractors. In Alberta a home battery ties directly into your electrical panel, so the installation legally requires a municipal electrical permit under the Safety Codes Act — and that permit is issued to a licensed electrical contractor (with a Master Electrician of record) or, for their own residence only, to a homeowner who lives in the home. Solar companies that are sales organizations rather than licensed contractors must subcontract the electrical work. Stellar Upgrades is the licensed electrical contractor itself: an in-house Red Seal Master Electrician is named on every permit, no subcontractors, 550+ Alberta installs since 2018, BBB A+.
Who installs the Emporia Pro in Alberta?
Stellar Upgrades, an Edmonton-based authorized Emporia dealer and installer, installs the Emporia Pro across Edmonton and everywhere within about 200 km — Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, Red Deer and more. Fixed installed pricing: $3,099 (40A) or $3,599 (48A hardwired) + GST, including the Vue 3 whole-home energy monitor, dedicated 240V circuit, municipal electrical permit, inspection, PowerSmart configuration, and app setup, installed by in-house Red Seal-supervised electricians.
How much does the Emporia Pro cost installed in Alberta?
Stellar Upgrades installs it at fixed pricing: $3,099 + GST for the 40A version (9.6 kW on a NEMA 14-50) and $3,599 + GST for the hardwired 48A version (11.5 kW). The price includes the charger, the Vue 3 whole-home energy monitor, the dedicated 240V circuit, the electrical permit, the municipal inspection, and app setup.
Will I need an electrical panel upgrade for the Emporia Pro?
Usually not. PowerSmart load management is built in — it monitors the panel and automatically adjusts the charge rate to what the service can safely deliver, which avoids the panel upgrade most 48A chargers force. Whether your specific panel qualifies is confirmed with a load calculation at the free assessment, before anything is quoted.
Does the Emporia Pro work with a Tesla?
Yes — order it with the NACS connector, which includes a sensor that opens compatible Tesla charge ports automatically. Every other EV uses the standard J1772 option, at the same installed price.
What does the Vue 3 energy monitor do, and who wires it in?
The Vue 3 comes in the box with the Emporia Pro and shows live, circuit-level energy use for your whole home in the Emporia app — it's how the charger can charge from excess solar and sync to off-peak rates. It wires into your electrical panel with measurement clamps, which is real electrical work: Stellar's in-house electricians install and configure it as part of the fixed installed price.
Does installing an EV charger require a permit in Alberta?
Yes. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240V circuit, which makes it electrical work requiring a municipal electrical permit and inspection under Alberta's Safety Codes Act. Stellar files the permit and attends the inspection on every install.
