A quick inspection of the consumer unit at your home by Outwood Electrical Ltd will confirm whether it has capacity for additional power loads, typical of home EV chargers.
We make sure consumer units have a dedicated circuit for the EV charger because if the circuit becomes overloaded, only this particular circuit would be disrupted and not all the other circuits at your home in Bury. Another consideration is where the EV charger will be installed as you will need dedicated off road parking. A driveway or garage would make charging the EV convenient and safer. If home EV charger installation is an upcoming project for your home in Bury, Outwood Electrical Ltd are happy to arrange an initial site visit to confirm whether your home is suitable for EV charger installation.
How long will EV charger installation take?
Actual installation on the day only takes between 2- 4 hours for a standard project. The team worked with a busy working parent recently on Blackrod Drive who only had a small window free from work. Our happy customer couldn't believe the EV charger was installed and tested in a matter of a few hours so that they could return to work before the school run.
It's worth mentioning that any prep work such as upgrading the consumer unit will more than likely be carried out before we actually install the EV charger.
How much does EV charger installation cost?
A standard installation costs anywhere between £700- £1,300 but the overall price can vary according to the specific charger you go for. Premium chargers such as Hypervolt or Ohme Pro chargers include features such as automated smart charging, setting you back about £1,500. We’ve installed many EV chargers for homeowners and landlords so we have a wealth of knowledge, giving you advice about the right type of charger for your home and of course choosing a charger to suit your budget.
Who can install an EV charger?
From the checks required on the consumer unit at a property, you can see why you should work with a qualified electrician for EV installation.
