Ohme EV charger installation in Walsall, Bloxwich and Palfrey. Home smart chargers fitted with the supply checked, a safe cable route and the app set up.
Ohme chargers are popular with Walsall drivers on smart energy tariffs, because the charger can time charging for the cheapest hours. Fitting one is more than bolting a box to the wall. The house supply has to be checked to make sure it can take the extra load. The cable route from the consumer unit to the drive has to be safe and neat. Earthing arrangements for an outdoor charger must meet current wiring regulations.
In Walsall, the cost of an Ohme installation depends mainly on two things. One is the distance from the consumer unit to the charger. The other is whether the board needs upgrading. A short run on an outside wall near the board is quickest. Photos of the consumer unit, the meter and where you park are enough to quote.
Many Walsall terraces have no driveway, and a charger cannot trail a cable across a public pavement. Where you park decides whether a home charger is practical, so that is the first question we ask.
