Running a separate circuit from the fuse board protects existing domestic circuits from overheating or tripping. - **Suitability for London homes:** From Victorian houses in Wandsworth to properties with driveways in Battersea and Fulham, running cable cleanly from the electrical intake to your parking space makes charging straightforward. ## What happens on the day Clear access to your electrical intake and the intended mounting position allows the installation to proceed without interruption. - **Clearing access pathways:** Ensure the area around your fuse board, the cable pathway through the property, and the parking space or exterior wall are clear of personal belongings. - **Power interruption:** Power to the property will be switched off for a period while the new circuit breaker is fitted and connected to the consumer unit. - **Testing and demonstration:** Once the unit is mounted and wired, the installation is tested and demonstrated to confirm the unit communicates and delivers charge properly. ## How booking works 1. **Tell us about the job:** Tap Book Now and describe the work in the chat.

Most properties with off street parking or a garage can have an electric vehicle charger installed, provided there is adequate electrical capacity at the main fuse and spare capacity in the consumer unit. ### How long does the installation take on the day? A standard installation typically takes half a day, depending on the distance between the consumer unit and the charger location and how the cable travels through the building. ### Do I need a new consumer unit for an EV charger? Not always. If your current fuse board has a spare way and modern safety devices, the new circuit can be connected directly. If it is full or outdated, an auxiliary enclosure or replacement fuse board may be required. ### What happens if the cable run is longer than 10 metres? The starting price includes up to 10 metres of cable from your consumer unit. If your charger is further away, additional metres are measured and charged on top of the starting rate. ### Can I charge from a normal 3 pin socket instead? A standard 13 amp socket can provide occasional slow charging, but it is not intended for continuous heavy loads over many hours. A dedicated charging point is faster and designed for sustained operation. ## Business facts - Service area: Colliers Wood, Tooting, Streatham, Balham, Wandsworth, Putney, Battersea, Clapham, Oval, Brixton, Vauxhall, Pimlico, Chelsea, South Kensington, Mayfaair, Fulham - Hours: Calls answered 24/7 - Phone: +447455213345 - Email: info@belloelectricsltd.co.uk - Insurance: Public liability £5M, Professional indemnity £1M - Qualifications: BS7671; Testing and inspection; Initial verification; EV charging; PAT Test ## Book or ask a question - [Book Now](https://belloelectricsltd.co.uk/#chat) ## Related services - [PAT testing](https://belloelectricsltd.co.uk/services/pat-testing) - [Electrical faults and maintenance](https://belloelectricsltd.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding)
