Plan the right charging setup
Plugging into a regular household socket is slow and puts continuous demand on domestic wiring. A dedicated wallbox provides rapid, controlled charging suited to everyday travel.
- Faster daily chargingA dedicated home unit charges your electric vehicle several times faster than a standard three pin plug, allowing you to top up fully overnight while electricity rates are lower.
- Protecting your electrical systemEV chargers draw high electrical loads over long periods. Running a separate dedicated circuit directly from the fuse board avoids overloading existing household sockets and wiring.
- Workplace and commercial chargingWe install vehicle charging points for commercial premises and landlords across Derby, Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote, supporting company vehicles and staff commuting.
What happens on the day
We arrange a suitable installation day and carry out the work with minimal disruption to your home or business.
- Supply assessment and positioningBefore mounting, we confirm the position of your consumer unit, verify spare capacity, and confirm the best exterior location for reaching your vehicle parking space.
- Cable installation and connectionWe run the dedicated supply cable neatly along exterior walls or through floor spaces, securing it in place and connecting it into a dedicated circuit breaker.
- Unit setup and power testingWe isolate the power briefly to make the final connections, power up the charging unit, run safety checks, and tidy all work areas before leaving.

WhatsAppCan my existing fuse board support an electric vehicle charger?
Most modern consumer units can accommodate an extra dedicated circuit breaker for an EV charger if there are spare ways available. During our initial checks, we inspect your board and main incoming fuse to ensure the overall electrical capacity is sufficient. If your unit is full or outdated, we explain the options for adding a small separate enclosure or upgrading your main board before work starts.
Do I need permission from the electricity network to install a charger?
Chargepoints add significant electrical load, so the local Distribution Network Operator must be notified. In most domestic settings with standard supplies, we submit an installation notification directly to the network operator following the work. Where a property has a looped supply or limited capacity, permission must be requested before connection, which we handle as part of our service.
Where is the best place to mount the charging unit?
The ideal location is close to where you regularly park your vehicle, allowing the charging lead to reach the car port without stretching or creating a trip hazard across footpaths. We also consider the neatest path for the cable run back to your electrical meter or consumer unit to keep exterior wiring discreet.
Can I charge my car during cheaper overnight energy periods?
Yes. Current regulations require all new home chargers to have smart functionality. This allows you to set charging schedules through a mobile app or your vehicle dashboard, ensuring charging takes place during off-peak hours when your energy tariff offers lower electricity rates.
How long will my electricity be switched off during installation?
We only need to turn off the main power supply for a short period while connecting the new circuit into your consumer unit and carrying out specific dead-circuit electrical tests. Most of the physical cable routing and wall mounting is completed with your power running normally.
