01273 115212Frequently Asked Questions About EV Charging
Do I need a new consumer unit for my EV charger? Not always, but if your current board is outdated or lacks the required RCD protection, we may recommend an upgrade to a modern RCBO consumer unit with integrated Surge Protection Devices (SPDs). This ensures the safety of your home and the sensitive electronics in your vehicle. How long does the installation take? A standard back-to-back installation typically takes between 3 and 5 hours. Will an EV charger trip my lights? With our load balancing technology, your charger will intelligently adjust its power draw to match your home's total demand, preventing nuisance tripping of your main supply.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Domestic Ev Charger Installation in Steyning Questions
Answers to common questions about our Domestic Ev Charger Installation in Steyning
How do I know if my Steyning home is ready for an EV charger?
Most homes in the BN44 area can accommodate a charger, but we need to check your main fuse and consumer unit first. A 7kW charger draws a significant amount of power, so we look at your existing electrical load to make sure it won’t trip your breakers. If you have an older fuse box or a TT earthing system common in rural Sussex, we might need to make small adjustments to bring everything up to current BS 7671 standards.
Do I need to get permission from the council to install a charger?
For most domestic properties in Steyning, you do not need planning permission to install a wall-mounted charger, provided it meets certain size and height requirements. However, if your property is a listed building or sits within the South Downs National Park boundaries, it is worth checking first. We can help guide you on the best placement to stay compliant while keeping the installation as discreet as possible.
What is a UKPN notification and why does it matter?
UK Power Networks (UKPN) manages the electricity cables and poles across Steyning and the wider region. When we install a home EV charging point, we must notify them so they can monitor the load on the local transformer. In some cases, if your house shares a "looped" supply with a neighbour, they may need to come out and separate the cables before the charger can be used. We manage this entire communication process for you.
How long does it take to install a domestic EV charger in West Sussex?
A standard installation usually takes between three and five hours. This includes mounting the unit, running the cabling from your consumer unit, and testing the system to make sure the smart features are working correctly. We aim to keep disruption to a minimum and will always tidy up any drilling debris or offcuts before we leave your property.
Can you install chargers for Steyning businesses or landlords?
Yes, we provide commercial EV charger installations for local businesses and rental properties. For landlords, we make sure the installation is fully documented and included in your next EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) to maintain safety compliance for your tenants. Whether it is a single unit for a driveway or multiple charging pillars for a commercial site, we provide the same high level of local service.
