The Service
What Is Home EV Charger Installation?
Home EV charger installation covers fitting a dedicated electric vehicle charge point at your home — usually a 7kW smart charger on its own circuit, correctly rated, RCD-protected and connected to your supply.
Because an EV charger is a sustained high load, it needs its own circuit from the consumer unit, the right cable and protection, and a load assessment to confirm your supply can take it. Smart chargers also need a data connection for app control and scheduling.

Why It Matters
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
Charging an EV from a household socket for long periods is not recommended — it can overload the socket and circuit. A dedicated charge point is the safe, fast, standard way to charge at home.
An EV charger is notifiable work that must be correctly rated, RCD-protected and certified. Done properly, it's safe, efficient and ready for the future.
Costs & Pricing
Costs & What Affects Pricing
Pricing for electrical work depends on the job. Here are the factors that typically affect the cost of this service.
- The charger type and power rating (typically 7kW)
- The cable run length from the consumer unit
- Whether the consumer unit needs an upgrade for the load
- Whether the charger is tethered or untethered
- Whether solar integration or load balancing is included
A straightforward install is usually quick; long cable runs or a consumer unit upgrade cost more. Tell us about your home and we can help.
