No, it is not recommended to install a hardwired EV charger at your home in Medway yourself. Did you know that fitting an EV charger is classed as notifiable work under Building Regulations in the UK? That is so a registered electrician can ensure safety standards are met during installation and provide proper certification to confirm complaint work. An EV charger installer Medway charges between £800 - £950 but factors such as the length of cable run and location of your home's consumer unit influence the overall cost. Eru Electrics specialise in domestic services, exactly like EV installation which takes the skilled team only a few hours.

Why should I work with an EV charger installer Medway?
Homeowners at Beresford Road in the Chatham/Rochester area contacted us after a previous DIY scare and didn't want to risk further injury or damage to their 3 bedroom property. The husband is in his late 50’s and thoroughly enjoys DIY work around the home but didn't have much electrical experience. He had unfortunately had an incident with a light fitting which he had wired incorrectly, this caused the circuits throughout the whole house to trip, much to the annoyance of his wife. We don’t like to take sides but, on this occasion, we explained why the wife is always right and not just because of his lacking electrical DIY skills.
