EV charger installation
EV Charger Installation Electrician in Harrogate
Ohme, Sync Energy and other home chargers installed on their own circuit, with your supply checked first and the app set up before we go.
A home charger is a dedicated circuit from your consumer unit to a wall-mounted charge point, with protection designed for charging a car outdoors. We check your main fuse and existing load first, so the charger doesn’t trip you out every time the oven’s on.
Tethered chargers have the cable attached and coiled on the unit. Untethered ones have a socket, so the cable lives in the car and the wall looks tidier. Either way, we run the supply neatly, fit the protection, and set the charger up on its app before we leave.
What we check first
- Main fuse rating and household load
- Spare ways and protection in the board
- Earthing for the outdoor circuit
- Cable route from the board to the charger
- Where the car parks and where its port is
- Tethered or untethered, and any solar matching

Photos of the board, meter and drive are often enough to price it.
- Install
A dedicated circuit runs to the charger, usually in half a day to a day.

EV charging in Harrogate
Many Harrogate homes have long drives or detached garages, which means longer cable runs that need sizing properly. Larger households often want two chargers or load management so the house and cars share the supply without tripping.
EV charger questions
Tethered or untethered?
Tethered is more convenient day to day. Untethered looks neater and suits households with different cars. Both charge just as well.
Can I have two chargers?
Often yes, with load management so they share the supply safely. We check your main fuse first.
Will my board need upgrading?
Not always. If there’s a spare way and suitable protection, it can connect directly. If not, upgrading at the same time is usually the neatest option.
