EV Car Charging
EV Car Charger Installation in Loughton
The Future is Electric… But Is Your Home Ready?
Electric vehicles are no longer “the future” — they’re here, and they’re becoming part of everyday life across Loughton, Debden, Woodford, Woodford Green, Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill and Chingford.
But here’s the truth…
There is more to a job than just the price.
Anyone can “fit a charger”…
But not everyone understands what’s happening behind the scenes — inside your fuse board, your earthing, your supply, and your safety.
Your EV charger isn’t just another appliance.
It’s one of the biggest electrical loads your home will ever see.
And just because something works…
Doesn’t mean it’s safe.
Why You Might Need an EV Car Charger Installation
If you’ve recently bought — or are thinking about buying — an electric vehicle, installing a home EV charger is one of the best upgrades you can make.
But it’s not just about convenience.
It’s about:
- Charging your vehicle safely overnight
- Avoiding overloaded circuits
- Protecting your home and family
- Making sure your installation complies with current regulations
- Future-proofing your property as EV use continues to grow
We’re seeing more and more homes locally where people are plugging into standard sockets…
And that’s where problems begin.
Sockets weren’t designed for that kind of continuous load.
Heat builds up.
Connections weaken.
Risks increase.
Sometimes it’s better to know the truth…
Than to keep it in the dark and unknown.

There’s More To It Than Just “Fitting a Box”
We often get called in after another installation has gone wrong…
Or when something “doesn’t feel right”.
Common issues we see:
- Chargers installed onto already overloaded fuse boards
- Incorrect earthing arrangements
- No RCD or wrong type of protection
- Cables undersized for the load
- No consideration for future demand
- Poor positioning or unsafe installation routes
These things don’t always show up straight away…
But over time — they become problems.
That’s why we take a different approach.

Common Problems We Help Solve
“Can I just add a charger to my existing system?”
Sometimes yes… but often no without upgrades. We assess this properly.
“My fuse board looks fine — do I need to change it?”
Looks can be deceiving. We check what’s happening inside.
“It’s working — so it must be safe?”
Not always. That’s one of the biggest misconceptions we see.
“I’ve been quoted much cheaper elsewhere…”
We understand. But what’s included? What’s been checked? What’s been assumed?
There is more to a job than just the price.
