Home Charger Installations

The installation of home chargers can seem complicated but, here at Chargebase, we aim to make this easy. So, here are the main steps in your installation…

Surveying your home

We will survey your home from photographs you provide to ensure that your charger can be safely connected to your home. Where necessary, we will contact your electrical network provider to gain authorisation for your charger to be connected (a legal requirement).

We will also advise you of any non-standard costs before you pay. The price we quote is the price you pay – no extra costs!

Installing your charger

This involves fitting your charger to your home and running up to 10 metres of safe and immensely strong cabling to your fuse box. The cabling is correctly connected to your home according to the latest regulations to ensure that it is as safe as possible. we will fully test your charger to ensure it is 100% ready to go.

Connecting To Your Home

Your charger connects to your fuse box. If there is a space to do so the connection is made and a suitable safety cut off device is fitted by us. If not, you will need a Secondary Consumer Unit installed to allow us to connect your charger safely.

Load Management

Not all homes have enough spare capacity for their chargers, even with a 100A supply to them. In these cases our chargers can be equipped with load management technology to get around this. Each one uses a special monitoring clamp (see left) to make sure there is always enough power for your charger and, if not, they can turn themselves down until there is – clever stuff!

Your electrical certificate

We will provide you with an electrical certificate for your EV charger installation to show that it has been safely installed to the latest electrical regulations. All our chargers also meet strict government regulations and safety standards.

Your Guarantee

We will guarantee your charger and installation for 3 years.

One Last Thing…

We are not only a specialist EV charger installation company, we are also a home and commercial electrical company. Because of this, often our customers ask us to undertake additional electrical work in their homes whilst we install their chargers. If you would like any additional work completed by us please let us know.

My Wallbox EV charger was fitted by your technicians yesterday to my complete satisfaction and its all working perfectly.
They did a very professional job, and were very pleasant, neat and tidy. Highly Recommended.
A new Mini Consumer Unit had to be fitted under the stairs and then an armoured cable was run from there into the kitchen and under the kitchen units, out into the garden and down to the wall by the garage.

Just called for some advice on how to start the process on having a charger installed, the person who I spoke to on the phone was so helpful and informative. Unfortunately I could not take things further with the company due to not covering my area, I did not realise until half way through the conversation! But thank you for your advice and help!

Chargebase were a doddle to deal with, from first contact to following up on requests for information so they could plan the install, to booking the appointment and they have the team come for the install - it was totally first class. The fitter, Marcelo was excellent - didn't leave any mess and completed the job quickly, send the paperwork through in a timely fashion.

I can happily recommend Sunita and the team. Our installation was not straightforward as we required the charger to be located away from our house, but Marcelo was able to install exactly what we needed. An excellent and professional service.

Our installation required a long cable with various alternative approaches possible. Sunita at Chargebase was most helpful and proactive in discussing the options. The installation was carried out promptly and efficiently. A pleasure to deal with this company. Would highly recommend.

Great service by the team and were able to slip us in just before the government funding stopped. Evaluated all the options once on site and we’re able to come up with a better solution. Thanks!

From start to finish I can honestly say this was an excellent the service from the whole team, especially from Sunita who managed the engagement process, procurement of charger and arranging installation so so well.

This excellence has been reinforced by the professionalism, attitude and general good humour from Marcelo yesterday in fitting the charger. He’s done a wonderful job in the technical aspects of the work, but made it so much better by being a thoroughly decent and nice human being too.

He would be at the top of my recommendations for future work and would reinforce your use of him in the future.

End to end the process has been superb; the engagement and support in getting the whole thing set up properly and communicating well with me has been exceptional.

Thank you again and i would thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend both Chargebase and Marcelo!

Great service Although there were a lot of painful pre-installation checks they made it as pleasant as possible. The installation was amazing the installer was professional helpful and friendly I go as far to say probably one of the best people I’ve had work at My Home

From the first contact Chargebase were different. The agent saved me a month of frustration by talking me through all the things to know about EV charge points. The installation was quick, friendly and very tidy. I would highly recommend.

Sunita at Chargebase was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She helped us work out the best route for the cable, saving us money on my original thoughts, and was extremely responsive and helpful through the whole process. When the car arrived sooner than expected she also managed to arrange to have the charger installed almost the next day which was amazing. In terms of the installation, Marcelo and Mario were also great and took time to confirm exactly what I wanted and then did a very neat installation job. I have already recommended Chargebase to several friends who are looking at EVs as they were truly exceptional.

From start to finish Chargebase were able to help me with my questions and provided a professional electrician who was able to work around our home commitments. It was easy to arrange a very fast appointment on a day that suited us, and the install is neat and tidy with an explanation of each stage of that installation..

Would I recommend, yes.

Positives: Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and quick. They deal with several brands of charger and so are able to find the right one for the job. I am very happy with the end result.
Negatives: Take the full payment before they will even book an install appointment. After the install there was an outstanding issue with the install (now resolved - and not their fault, it was an issue with the charger itself not the installer) and they were much slower responding after the install was complete in order to get it resolved. Also, their website does not include their registered company number or details so it is tricky to be sure they're genuine (they are!)

Really quick response to my internet enquiry, Sunita was fantastic to deal with, always quick to reply to emails and phone calls, great at explaining my charger options and not at all pushy, allowing me the final choice. Marcello my electrician was excellent, very neat and tidy. Only 14 days from initial enquiry to fitting, very impressed, thoroughly recommended.

Dealing with Chargebase was a really good and trouble-free experience. They were absolutely professional and efficient from start to finish and they provided really good advice on aspects such as the best unit for our needs as well as the optimal (rather than easiest) cable routing so as to ensure a neat installation. It was a pleasure dealing with Sunita and Ross on the planning, administration and follow-up aspects as well as with Marcello who completed the installation in an efficient, neat and pleasant way. I would highly recommend them as supplier for an EV charge point!

Great service all round. Very quick, efficient and friendly. They went the extra mile in the charge point fitting to tidy away all the the cabling. Highly recommend

Sunita and the team were great. All my calls and questions were answered. Two great guys came to install an outside unit not going though my mains fuse box. Which is a little more cost but a better piece of mind, not to overload the fuse box in the house. I love the small charging unit, not like other home chargers.
Definitely recommend. Great work. Many thanks

The whole team at Chargebase were a pleasure to deal with, first off I had a long chat with Ross about the different options of electric car chargers. Sunita was always quick to respond to email and phone questions and kept me up to date with the progress of my order, Chargebase also processed the paperwork for the government grant for the installation.
Marcelo their installer was superb, great attention to detail and very professional. He was even able to put up with all the questions I had.
100% recommend.

really professional service from start to finish- total time from initial order to install was 7 days. Sunita communicated by phone and email and was really helpful in choice of charger and on the technical issues re install. Install by Marcello who was prompt, careful, considerate and really neat in his installation. Overall really excellent and sets a high standard for other companies!

Excellent end to end service. I spoke to quite a few companies to get a quote for my EV charger installation. Chargebase were the most professional and helpful. My installation was not a straightforward one because of the location of my meter. The electrician that came to install my EV charger did an amazing job and exceeded my expectations.

Sunita and the team, installed my EV charger earlier this year and gave an excellent service. Our house was hit by lightning which blew much of the electrics and Sunita has been very helpful in sourcing a replacement charger and electrician to assist.

Very good service from initial inquiry through installation and commissioning. Installation itself was done within a few days and the connection itself is small and neat. Would definitely recommend using Chargebase for anyone looking for a home charging point.
