About this service

Switching to an electric vehicle is a great move, but charging it requires more than just running a standard extension lead out the window—in fact, that's a serious fire risk. As an experienced Electrician in Leeds, I install dedicated 7kW home charging points that get you back on the road faster and safer. Many older properties in Leeds have incoming supplies that struggle with high loads. I ensure your installation includes 'load balancing' to protect your main fuse from blowing when you urge the kettle, shower, and car on at the same time. I install chargers with built-in PEN fault protection (O-PEN), which means we usually don't need to dig up your driveway to install an earth rod, keeping the finish neat and tidy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install an EV charger if I live in a terrace with no driveway?

To be honest, it's difficult. Cables cannot trail across public footpaths in Leeds due to tripping hazards and council regulations. You typically need dedicated off-street parking to safely and legally install a home charger.

Will an electric car charger blow my house fuse?

It can if not installed correctly. That's why I install chargers with 'CT clamps' for load management. If your house starts using too much power (like when the electric shower is on), the car charger automatically slows down to stop the main fuse from popping.

Do I need to upgrade my fuse box (consumer unit) for an EV charger?

Not always. If your current unit has spare ways and RCD protection, we can often use it. If not, or if it's an old rewireable fuse board, I usually recommend installing a small, separate 'mini consumer unit' or a Henley block specifically for the car to keep it safe and independent.

What is the difference between tethered and untethered chargers?

A tethered charger has the cable permanently attached (like a petrol pump), which is convenient but can look a bit untidy. An untethered (socketed) charger looks cleaner on the wall, but you have to get your own cable out of the boot every time you charge.
