What’s Included in Your Home EV Charger Installation
Every property is different, so we assess your electrical installation before fitting your charger. This includes checking the available supply, consumer unit, earthing arrangements and suitable cable route. We then install the dedicated EV charging circuit, required electrical protection and your chosen charger before completing testing, certification and commissioning. We can install popular home EV chargers including myenergi Zappi, Andersen, Simpson & Partners and Hypervolt, and can advise which option best suits your property and charging requirements.
Why Install an EV Charger at Home?
A professionally installed home EV charger gives you faster, easier and smarter charging at home, without relying on public chargers or a standard domestic socket.
- Fast 7.4 kW home charging – charge your EV conveniently on a suitable single-phase supply (typically around 6–10 hours for a full charge, depending on the vehicle and battery size), so you can plug in when you get home and wake up ready to go.
- Scheduled overnight charging – set your car to charge automatically at the times that suit you, including cheaper off-peak periods when available.
- App monitoring and control – see your charging status, energy use and charging history directly from your phone.
- Lock and unlock from your app – keep control of who can use your charger, so the neighbours can’t help themselves to your electricity.
- Plug in without getting a cable from the boot – with a tethered charger, the charging cable is already there waiting. Park up, plug in and you’re done.
- Make the most of cheaper EV tariffs – smart charging helps you take advantage of lower-cost charging periods and reduce the cost of charging at home.
- A charger that looks good on your home – modern chargers are available in different designs and finishes, including personalised colour options to complement your property’s exterior.
- Safe, tested and certified installation – your new charging circuit is installed with the required electrical protection, fully tested and certified when the work is complete.

Can I have an EV charger installed with my existing consumer unit?
Often, yes. You don’t automatically need a new consumer unit to have a home EV charger installed. We assess your existing consumer unit, electrical supply, earthing and available capacity first. If your existing installation is suitable, we can install the charger without replacing the consumer unit. If any upgrades are required, we’ll explain what is needed before the work goes ahead.
How long does a home EV charger installation take?
A straightforward home EV charger installation can often be completed in around half a day — for example, where the charger is close to a suitable consumer unit, such as in a garage. Installations with longer cable routes or additional electrical work may take a full day. We’ll assess the installation beforehand so you know what work is required.
Do you test and certify EV charger installations?
Yes. Every EV charger installation is fully tested and certified on completion, and you’ll receive the appropriate electrical certificate for your records. Your charger will also be set up and commissioned ready for you to use.
Do you offer a warranty on EV charger installations?
Yes. Our EV charger installation work is covered by a 1-year workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind after the installation is complete. The EV charger itself is covered separately by the manufacturer’s warranty, with the warranty period depending on the charger you choose.
