“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

WhatsAppCan my existing consumer unit take an EV charger?
That depends on available space and circuit breaker ratings. A dedicated 7.4kW charger requires a 32-amp circuit with appropriate RCD protection. If your consumer unit lacks spare ways or proper protection, we can install a secondary enclosure or quote for a board upgrade.
What is the difference between charging on a normal socket and a 7.4kW unit?
A standard three-pin socket charges at roughly 2.3kW and is not designed for continuous high-load power delivery over many hours. A 7.4kW charge point uses a heavy dedicated circuit, charges roughly three times faster, and incorporates safety isolation and temperature protection.
Do you need to notify the electricity distribution network?
Yes, installing a high-draw device like a 7.4kW car charger requires notification to the local distribution network operator. We handle the technical notifications and paperwork required under engineering recommendations.
Can an EV charger be fitted to a rented property?
Yes, charge points can be installed on rented houses as long as the property owner permits the addition. We supply the completed electrical installation certificate directly to keep the landlord's records up to date.
What type of connector will the charger have?
Most single-phase 7.4kW units come with a Type 2 connector, either tethered with a fixed cable or as an untethered universal socket that accepts standard vehicle charging leads.
