Can I Install An EV Charger Myself?
Sadly, the answer is no. As electricians with years of experience, we are skilled and trained when it comes to working with new technology such as EV charger installation. We have a wealth of knowledge on the various charger brands available on the market and are always happy to share our advice with clients.
Safety is absolutely paramount to the work we do, we conduct a site visit and risk assessment before installation to rule out any hurdles. The team also checks your current power supply and fuse board to ensure the new EV charger can be supported.
What Happens An During EV Charger Installation?
EV charger installation takes our skilled EV charger installer electricians just a few hours from start to finish.
Once the charging device is attached to a brick wall at your home in Abergavenny, a cable is then run from the charger to your fuse box. This is followed by the installation of a new dedicated circuit with appropriate safety devices.
Our electricians go the extra mile and go through all the controls and smart features to make sure clients are comfortable using the systems such as automatic switch on and off as well as being able to look back at your charging history.
No EV charger installation is complete unless our electricians run through a series of tests to make sure all components such as the cable and charger device are correctly isolated.
Next, electrical tests are conducted to check the earthing and RCD tests which check the role of the residual current device, designed to protect individuals from electric shocks.
