EV Charger Installers Near Me

As we move through the 2020s, there is a growing interest in EV use in the UK and across the world, both as a more efficient and often more affordable mode of transport as well as one solution to the climate crisis.

With the UK government’s eyes still set on a 2035 ban of non-electric vehicles, home EV chargers can help speed up the process of electrifying our roads. Having a reliable and efficient charging station at home can make things straightforward and save you the time and hassle of driving out to a public charging station.

In this blog, we’ll discuss how you can find EV charger installers in your area to ensure a skilled and reliable professional can fit a domestic EV charger for you.

Let’s dive in!

Understanding EV Charging Needs

Before all else, it’s important to know what your EV charging needs are, including the type of EV charger you’d prefer while ensuring it is a suitable match for your specific electric car.

Types of EV chargers include Level 1 and Level 2. As you might expect level 2 chargers can power up an EV faster than Level 1 products. What’s more, there also exists a range of tethered and untethered EV chargers, with the former featuring a built-in cable whereas untethered chargers require you purchase a cable separately and connect it up.

Depending on the type of EV you have, your charging needs and the layout of your property, a customised solution may be needed to ensure that an EV charger instalment meets your needs and preferences.

When it comes to choosing the specific EV charger model for you, while you can source an option yourself, you might alternatively ask the electrician you choose to hire to find one for you. One way or another, it’s important to check with them to verify that a specific EV charger model is suitable.

Utilising MyJobQuote’s Online Directories

There are several ways you can use MyJobQuote to find electricians near you for an EV charger installation. Firstly, there is our online electrician directory.

You can use this directory to find the profiles of qualified electricians in your area and then evaluate them based on their ratings, reviews and even images of their prior work.

It’s important to also spend time using the comprehensive view of local electricians that this tool can provide you with to get a sense of which electrician(s) will provide the right services, especially where you need a specific, tailored installation.

Verify Installer Credentials

Of course, you’ll be glad to know that MyJobQuote has a rigorous verification process meaning that only suitable and qualified electricians can launch a profile on our site.

In general, though, it’s good to check that an electrician you wish to hire has a solid track record and suitable expertise if hiring them for an EV charger installation. Beyond that, you should request references or/and examples of their prior work so you can get a sense of their skills and reliability.

Engagement and Communication

From start to finish, it’s important to maintain open lines of communication with the installer. This includes having thorough conversations about the installation process, scope of the work and potential challenges that may arise during or in the lead up to your EV charger instalment.

Moreover, you’ll want to discuss any specific requirements you have or might have. Discussing all important aspects and raising questions or concerns you might have are key to making the work go as smoothly as possible and limiting unnecessary headaches later on, such as with installation issues.

Personal experiences and trusted referrals can offer plenty of value in helping you to find a reputable and competent installer in your local area.

Service Terms and Agreements

It’s also important to secure a detail agreement or contract with the installer to ensure you are both on the same page and to limit the risk of unexpected headaches.

This agreement should clearly outline key detail including the following:

• The pricing involved including any added or potential unexpected costs
• The timeline of the EV charger installation project
• The EV charger being installed or/and the installation process involve
• Any warranties or guarantees that apply on the work and equipment

With a clear agreement featuring specified service terms, the project should run smoothly. You’ll also want to ensure that you know exactly what costs might apply and as mentioned above, what potential unexpected costs might apply and in what scenarios.

Finding the right electrician for the job is pivotal to ensure you get a high-quality EV charger installation and (with the correction discussions taking place too) the right EV charger product for you, your home and electric car model.

What’s more, a professional installation from a local EV charger installer can ensure the longevity and efficiency of the EV charging solution you opt for. Ensure you take due diligent and make an informed decision when deciding what electrician near you to install an electric car charger.
