WaterTight Plumbing and Electrics provides professional electric vehicle charger installation services throughout Leicestershire. Our EV qualified electricians combine over 20 years of electrical experience with specialist training to deliver safe, efficient charging solutions for your electric vehicle needs. As NAPIT certified installers, we ensure your EV charging point meets all current safety standards and regulations.
The transition to electric vehicles requires reliable home charging infrastructure that provides convenient, safe, and efficient charging for your daily driving needs. Our EV qualified electricians understand the specific requirements for electric vehicle charging installations and provide comprehensive solutions tailored to your property and vehicle.
We offer professional advice on charger selection, optimal positioning, and electrical capacity requirements to ensure your EV charging installation delivers reliable performance and represents excellent value for your investment in electric vehicle technology.
Our EV charger installation service begins with a thorough assessment of your property's electrical capacity and suitability for electric vehicle charging. We evaluate your existing electrical system, available parking arrangements, and charging requirements to recommend the most appropriate solution.
From initial consultation through to final commissioning and handover, we manage every aspect of your EV charger installation. Our systematic approach ensures compliance with current regulations whilst minimising disruption to your property and daily routine.
We install a range of EV charging solutions to suit different requirements and budgets. Standard Mode 3 chargers provide reliable 7kW charging suitable for overnight charging of most electric vehicles, offering a practical balance of charging speed and installation cost.
For properties with higher electrical capacity, we can install faster charging solutions that reduce charging times significantly. We also offer smart charging units that can be controlled remotely and integrate with time-of-use electricity tariffs to minimise charging costs.
Every EV charger installation requires careful assessment of your property's electrical capacity to ensure safe and reliable operation. Our electricians evaluate your existing electrical load, available capacity in your consumer unit, and the condition of your electrical installation.
Where additional electrical capacity is required, we can provide fuse board upgrades or electrical supply modifications to accommodate your EV charger safely. This comprehensive approach ensures your installation operates reliably without affecting other electrical circuits in your property.
All our EV charger installations comply with current IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and EV charging standards including IEC 61851. We ensure appropriate circuit protection, earth fault protection, and isolation arrangements for safe charging operation.
Our EV qualified electricians understand the specific safety requirements for electric vehicle charging, including protection against electric shock, proper earthing arrangements, and emergency isolation procedures. All installations include comprehensive testing and certification to confirm compliance with safety standards.
Modern EV chargers offer smart technology features that enhance convenience and help manage charging costs. We install smart chargers that can be controlled via smartphone apps, allowing you to monitor charging progress, schedule charging times, and track energy consumption.
Smart charging features enable you to take advantage of cheaper overnight electricity rates and can integrate with solar panel systems to maximise use of renewable energy for vehicle charging. These intelligent features help reduce charging costs whilst providing convenient control over your vehicle's charging schedule.
EV charger installations may qualify for government grants and incentives designed to encourage electric vehicle adoption. We provide guidance on available schemes and can assist with grant applications where applicable.
Our knowledge of current incentive programmes helps ensure you access any available financial support for your EV charger installation, making the transition to electric vehicle ownership more affordable and accessible.
For properties with solar panel installations, we can integrate EV chargers with renewable energy systems to maximise environmental benefits and reduce charging costs. Our solar-qualified electricians understand how to coordinate EV charging with solar energy generation.
This integration allows you to charge your electric vehicle using clean, renewable energy generated on your property, significantly reducing the environmental impact of your transport whilst potentially eliminating charging costs during sunny periods.
The location of your EV charger significantly affects convenience and safety. We provide expert advice on optimal positioning considering factors such as vehicle access, cable management, weather protection, and security considerations.
Our installation planning ensures your EV charger is positioned for maximum convenience whilst maintaining appropriate clearances for safe operation and maintenance access. We coordinate cable routing to minimise visual impact and protect wiring from damage.
Electric vehicle technology continues to evolve, and we design EV charging installations with future requirements in mind. Our installations include appropriate electrical capacity for potential upgrades and can accommodate additional charging points if you acquire more electric vehicles.
We provide guidance on electrical infrastructure that supports future EV technology developments, ensuring your investment in charging infrastructure remains valuable as electric vehicle capabilities advance.
Following installation, we provide ongoing support and maintenance advice to ensure your EV charger continues to operate reliably. Our electricians can carry out periodic inspections and testing to maintain safety and performance standards.
We offer guidance on proper use of your EV charging equipment and can assist with any technical issues that may arise. Our local presence in Leicestershire means we're readily available for support when you need it.
