Why Choose OR Electrics?
Electricity isn't something to take a gamble on. Whether you are upgrading an older Victorian property or need a modern certificate for a rental, we handle this service with strict adherence to BS 7671 regulations. We treat your home as if it were our own, ensuring safety without the jargon.
Switching to an electric vehicle is a brilliant move for your wallet and the planet, but I know the charging logistics—especially in some of our older Leeds properties—can feel a bit daunting. At OR Electrics, I take the stress out of getting plugged in. It’s not just about bolting a box to the wall; it’s about ensuring your home's designated electrical supply can actually handle the high load of charging a car for hours on end without tripping proper safety devices or melting old cables. I treat safety as non-negotiable. Many Victorian terraces or stone-built homes in West Yorkshire have aging earthing arrangements that need bringing up to BS 7671 standards before a charger can be safely installed. I'll assess your Consumer Unit and main fuse to ensure everything is robust enough to cope. I only install reliable, smart-enabled chargers that let you schedule charges for when energy tariffs are cheapest. Whether you have a driveway or a dedicated parking spot, I’ll get the job done neatly, respecting your home with dust sheets and boot covers, so you can drive away with full peace of mind.

In Leeds, where our housing stock ranges from modern new builds to historic Victorian stone terraces and back-to-backs, electrical safety is paramount. Many of these older properties still contain outdated rubber or lead-sheathed cabling that simply can't cope with modern power demands. When you choose OR Electrics for this service, you aren't just getting a quick fix; you are getting a comprehensive solution designed to protect your property and your family from the risks of electrical faults.
We pride ourselves on offering a down-to-earth service that cuts out the confusion. We don't believe in 'cowboy' shortcuts. Every job we undertake is carried out to the latest 18th Edition wiring regulations, ensuring full compliance and peace of mind. From improving energy efficiency with modern solutions to ensuring your damp-proofing doesn't compromise your intake, we handle the unique challenges of West Yorkshire homes with expertise and care.
Can I just use a standard 3-pin plug extension lead instead?
I strongly advise against it for daily charging. Standard sockets aren't designed for the high, continuous heat generated by EV charging, and using extension leads across a pavement is a major safety hazard and trip risk. A dedicated wallbox is safer, faster, and weatherproof.
Will my old fuse box handle an EV charger?
It depends on the age and condition of your Consumer Unit. An EV charger adds a significant load to your home. Part of my service at OR Electrics involves testing your existing setup; if your unit is outdated or lacks SPD (Surge Protection), we may need to upgrade it or install a small dedicated unit to ensure your home stays safe.
How fast will my car charge?
Most domestic dedicated chargers operate at 7kW, which typically adds about 30 miles of range per hour—much faster than a 3-pin plug. This usually means you can get a full charge easily overnight.
Do I need permission to install a charger in Leeds?
Generally, EV chargers fall under permitted development rights if you have off-street parking. However, if you live in a listed building or a conservation area, we'll need to check. If you don't have a driveway (like many back-to-backs), trailing cables across public footpaths is generally not allowed by the council.
