What would yours cost?
Those are the usual ranges. Tell us what's wrong and we'll tell you the price for your home.
What affects the price?
- Charger model and power
- Distance and cable route from the consumer unit
- Electrical upgrades and protective measures
- Groundworks, access, and regional labour rates
What's included in the price?
- The charger, standard installation labour, and cabling for the quoted scope
- Testing, setup, and required electrical certification
How long does it take?
A standard home installation commonly takes two to four hours; electrical upgrades or groundworks extend it.
Do I need one?
A dedicated home charger can be more convenient than a domestic socket; an installer must assess supply capacity, earthing, cable routing, and protective measures for the actual property.
How do you avoid overpaying?
- Check current grant eligibility before ordering
- Choose the cable route before the survey
- Compare quotes with the same charger and stated groundwork
