Frequently asked questions about EV charger installation

Everything you need to know before booking a home EV charger installation in Edinburgh.

Most home EV charger installations are completed in around 3–4 hours, depending on the cable run distance and whether any upgrades to your consumer unit are needed. We’ll confirm the expected timeframe when we provide your quote so you can plan your day.

EV chargers are typically installed on an exterior wall, in a garage or carport where you can park directly next to the unit. If you don’t have a private driveway or off-street parking, installation can be more challenging and may require additional considerations. Get in touch and we’ll assess whether a home installation is feasible for your property.

It depends on the age and capacity of your existing consumer unit. An EV charger requires a dedicated circuit, and if your board doesn’t have a spare way or lacks RCD protection, an upgrade may be needed. We check this as part of our assessment and include any necessary upgrades in the fixed-price quote — no surprises on the day.

Yes — significantly. Home electricity rates are typically much lower than public charging network tariffs, and you can reduce costs further by using off-peak rates. Most smart chargers let you schedule charging to start and stop at set times, so you can take full advantage of cheaper overnight electricity.

We supply and install chargers from a range of trusted manufacturers. If you already have a preferred unit, we’re happy to fit it. If you’re unsure which charger is best for your vehicle and budget, we can recommend the right option based on your driving habits, car model and home setup.

What Our Customers Say

“Craig and his team were excellent. We needed a partial rewire, and they worked incredibly efficient and tidy while being transparent about the work being done. When they left, it was like they were never there. I can’t recommend them enough and will use them for any future electrical work.”

From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, prompt, and efficient. They made sure everything was set up to my satisfaction and took the time to explain how the heaters worked. Very happy with their service.”
