Since January 2005 the Government introduced a new law which means that electrical work can only be carried out in UK houses by a competent person(s). This is often referred to as Part P, which is known as the Part P in Building Regulations. All installations that are now completed are required to be tested in order to prove that it has been safely installed and can operate safely also. The electrician who installs your electrical system should provide you with a certificate which is proof of testing that their work is safe and in full working order.

In many cases, the Domestic Electrician Leeds will notify the local building control of the work which has been carried out, they will then send you another certificate which will have further proof that the work has complied with all the safety standards and it covered by the industry warrant of safety.

All of the electrical work we carry out is certified to the current standard. With the safety of you and your environment always being our main concern.

EV Charging Solutions

Below are some factors to consider when purchasing an EV wall box.

Charging Speed

Charging speed is a key factor to consider when getting a new home EV charging station installed. Home EV charging units can range 3kW to 22kW, and the higher their power range, the faster they can charge your vehicle.

Convenience

You can save time and energy (in both senses) by charging your electric vehicle at home instead of having to travel to a public charging point. There’ll be no waiting time at your home car charging point and you won’t have to rely on the service of others to get your vehicle fully charged. Low cost – With an at home charging station, you can get an unlimited supply of electricity for your charger car at a lower cost. Electric vehicles are generally cheaper to run than petrol and diesel cars, but you can make even more savings by using your own electricity supply to charge your car.

Tethered or Untethered

Another key factor to consider is whether you want to opt for a tethered or untethered wall box charger. Tethered chargers are those which come equipped with a cable attached to the charger, much like standard petrol and diesel pumps. These chargers tend to be more convenient as you don’t have to fish out your cable every time you need to power up your vehicle, however, as the cable is included, there’s a chance that your wall box charger could be rendered unusable if you purchase a vehicle that requires a different type of connector. With untethered car chargers, the EV Charger cable is not included as part of the charger. Instead, you’ll need to get your own charging cable (this is usually included with the purchase of the electric vehicle) and manually connect your vehicle to the charger. Due to this extra step, untethered chargers are typically viewed as a less convenient option than tethered chargers. However, untethered wall box chargers are more future proof than tethered chargers, as should you decide to purchase an electric car that requires a different type of connector, you can simply upgrade the plug configuration instead of having to purchase a completely new wall box charger.

Costs

How much is an EV Charger? This is likely to be one of the first questions on your mind if you’re thinking about getting a car charger installed at your property. When getting a home charging station installed, it’s important that you consider your budget. Depending on the model, EV chargers can cost from £400 up to £1000, this figure can increase when installation fees are added. Total costs will depend on the brand and model you select. When choosing a home EV charger, you should avoid simply selecting the cheapest option, as this could compromise your system’s efficiency and performance. An EV charger is a long-term investment, so you should ensure that the product you choose is a suitable fit for your needs.

Location

You’ll need to select a suitable location at your property for your EV Chargerto be installed. Most car charger installations require off-road parking such as a driveway or garage. You’ll also need to ensure that it is positioned close enough to an electricity panel to get power. If you’re unsure about where you should get your EV charger installed, your qualified electrician should be able to provide you with the advice you need.
