What happens on the day
Every charging unit installation follows an orderly process, from reviewing the domestic electrical intake to completing all mandatory electrical safety checks before handing over the system.
- Fuse board and supply assessmentWe inspect your existing consumer unit, main fuse and bonding connections upon arrival. This confirms that the domestic electrical installation can safely take the added 7.4kW continuous demand of a home charging unit.
- Cable routing and unit mountingThe charging unit is secured firmly to the chosen exterior brickwork or garage wall. We clip the heavy-duty power cable along the discussed line, taking care around doorways, corners and external pipework for a tidy finish.
- Electrical testing and initial chargeBefore completing the job, we carry out instrumental dead and live tests on the new circuit, check earth loop impedance and test residual current devices. We then plug in the unit to verify that charging initiates properly.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

WhatsAppCan my existing fuse board support a 7.4kW charger?
Many modern consumer units have adequate capacity and space for an additional 32-amp circuit. During our assessment, we inspect your main incoming fuse and existing circuit breakers to confirm that your electrical setup can safely handle the extra continuous load.
Where is the best place to position the charging unit?
The ideal spot is an external wall or garage wall directly adjacent to where you park the vehicle. We recommend positioning the unit so the charging cable reaches your car inlet easily without stretching tight or lying across garden walkways.
How long does installing a home charger take?
Most standard domestic installations take between three and five hours. The duration depends on the length of the cable path, whether cables pass through internal ceiling voids or external walls, and the position of your consumer unit.
Do you need to dig up the driveway to run the cable?
In most homes, cables can be neatly clipped along external brickwork, run through an attached garage, or routed through underfloor spaces. Surface clipping avoids the need to disrupt driveways, paving slabs or decorative lawns.
What paperwork do I receive after the charger is fitted?
You receive a formal electrical installation certificate detailing the circuit testing readings, proving that the installation complies with current UK wiring regulations and can be handed over to building control or future buyers.
