Home EV Charger Installation in Pontypool

The Brief

A family in Pontypool had made the switch to an electric car and wanted a reliable home charge point so they could top up overnight instead of relying on public chargers. They asked for a tidy installation that would sit neatly beside their driveway, be safe to use in all weathers, and be properly certified. Above all, they wanted the job done cleanly and to a high standard by a local electrician they could trust.

What We Did

Our work included:

• Surveyed the supply: We checked the incoming supply, the consumer unit, and the earthing arrangements to confirm the home could support a 7kW charger safely.
• Planned a neat cable run: We planned a discreet route from the consumer unit to the driveway, keeping surface cabling to a minimum and clipping it tidily where it could not be hidden.
• Fitted a dedicated circuit: The charger was wired on its own dedicated circuit back to the board, sized correctly for the load.
• Installed the charger with full protection: The unit was mounted securely at a sensible height near the parking space, with the correct fault protection and earthing in place.
• Tested and certified: Once fitted, the installation was tested, the charger commissioned, and the correct certification issued to the homeowner.
• Left everything clean and tidy: We protected the floors and surfaces throughout and cleared up fully before we left.

The Result

The family now have a safe, reliable home charge point and can wake up to a full battery every morning. The cable run is neat and unobtrusive, the charger is protected and certified, and the whole installation was completed cleanly and to a high standard. The homeowners have the paperwork confirming the work was done correctly, giving them full peace of mind.

Job Duration: Completed in a single visit, from survey to final test and certification.
