# EV charger installation — JD Electricals

> EV charger installation in Basingstoke. 7.4kW home chargepoints on a dedicated circuit, tested and certified. Fixed price agreed before booking.

Installing a 7.4kW home chargepoint on its own dedicated circuit, with the board checked for capacity first and the work tested and certified.

## What an EV charger installation costs

A standard install on a straightforward property is a fixed price. Long cable runs, a board with no spare capacity, or an earthing arrangement that needs work will change it, so we check before quoting.
- EV charger installation (7.4kW home charge point): price on request
- Quotes are free and there is no call-out charge for arranging one.
- The price is agreed before anything is booked.
- Anything found once the job is open is quoted separately and agreed with you first.

## What decides the price

Three things, and all of them are answerable before we arrive.
- **Distance from the board:** The run from the consumer unit to the parking space is the biggest single factor.
- **Board capacity:** The charger needs its own way on the board and enough supply behind it. If there is neither, the board comes first.
- **Earthing:** Some properties need additional earthing arrangements for an outdoor chargepoint, which is checked rather than assumed.

## What is covered

A charger is a dedicated circuit, not an outdoor socket.

### Included
- Checking board capacity and earthing before the work is agreed
- A dedicated circuit from the board to the chargepoint
- Fitting, testing and commissioning the unit
- Certification for the installation

### Not included
- Trenching or reinstating a driveway where the run has to cross it
- Supply upgrades from the network operator, which is their work not ours
- The charger itself where you would rather buy your own unit

## What happens on the day

A straightforward install is a single visit.
1. **Before:** Tell us where you park, roughly how far that is from the board, and a photo of the board. That answers most of the price.
2. **During:** Power is off while the circuit is added, then the unit is commissioned and tested.
3. **After:** You get the certification and a walk through how the unit works before we leave.

## What you end up with

Charging at home on its own protected circuit.
- **A dedicated circuit:** Its own protection at the board, rather than sharing with anything else in the house.
- **Certified work:** Installation certification, which insurers and future buyers may ask for.

## Common questions

The things people ask before booking.

### Can I just use an outdoor socket?

Not for regular charging. A charger draws a heavy sustained load and needs its own circuit and protection. A 13A socket is not designed for it.

### What if my board has no space?

It gets replaced as part of the job. Doing both in one visit is normally cheaper than a charger install followed by a board change.

### Do you supply the charger?

We can, or you can buy your own unit and we install it. Tell us which before we quote.
