What work will be done?

Most installations are ‘standard’ installations, see this article to see the scope of a standard installation.

If we see that yours is a ‘custom’ installation, then we’ll let you know once you have submitted your survey. ‘Custom’ installations occur in instances of long or complicated runs of cable to the charger, or if upgrades are required to your home electrical setup.

What happens once we have all the information needed to plan your installation?

Once you have completed your survey, we will pair you with one of our trusted third-party installers, this will be determined by which installer has the best availability in your area.

All of the installers we partner with are registered with Safe Electric and their installations are completed in line with 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).

Who will inform the relevant organisations about your installation? Ohme and our installers will take care of informing ESB & Safe Electric that an EV charger is being installed and will send you an Electrical Certificate of the works completed within 30 days of installation.
