EV Charger Installation in Cannock

Cannock and the surrounding Chase district have a high proportion of homes with driveways, which makes home charging a practical option for most households here.

Longer commutes are common in this part of Staffordshire, so the ability to leave home every morning with a full battery is worth more than raw charging speed.

We cover Hednesford, Heath Hayes, Norton Canes, Bridgtown, Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley, Rugeley and Penkridge. Estate housing here often has an external meter and front parking, making for a short cable run.

We are independent, so we are not tied to one manufacturer. We can install and commission the mainstream home charge points UK homeowners are choosing from, and help you pick the one that genuinely fits your household.

• Ohme — strong tariff integration for drivers who want to automate off-peak charging
• Zappi — popular where a home already has solar PV or a battery
• Hypervolt — compact British-designed unit with app control
• Tesla Wall Connector — a sensible choice for Tesla households
• Easee — small footprint with load balancing built in

If you regularly drive long distances, prioritise a reliable smart charger with good tariff integration over headline power figures — a single-phase home cannot exceed around 7kW regardless.

If you have already bought a unit, that is fine — we can install a customer-supplied charger as long as it is a compliant Type 2 product with the correct protection.

Almost all UK houses have a single-phase electricity supply, and that limits a home charge point to around 7kW. That is not a compromise — it is simply the practical ceiling for a domestic property, and it is plenty for overnight charging.

A 7kW unit charges roughly three times faster than a standard three-pin lead and will typically take a car from low to full across a night. Faster 22kW charging needs a three-phase supply, which very few homes have.

Where homes have been extended or had electric heating added over the years, we check total demand before finalising the charger design so the main fuse is never the weak point.

1. Assessment

We check your incoming supply, main fuse rating, earthing arrangement and consumer unit, and look at where the car parks. This is what determines whether the job is simple or needs extra work.

2. Agreeing the position

We agree exactly where the charger will go, checking cable reach to the car's charging port, weather exposure and how you will use it day to day.

3. Cable route and installation

A dedicated circuit is run from the consumer unit to the charger using appropriately sized cable and containment, with penetrations sealed and clips lined up neatly.

4. Testing, certification and handover

The circuit is tested, the charger commissioned, and the paperwork issued. We then set up the app with you and show you how scheduled charging works before we leave.

There is no single national price, because no two properties are the same. The things that genuinely move the cost are:

• the charger model you choose
• the distance from your consumer unit to the charger position
• the condition and spare capacity of your consumer unit
• the cable route — internal, external, through a garage or under a driveway
• any ground works or ducting needed to reach detached parking
• whether load management is required to work within your main fuse rating
• any additional electrical upgrades identified during the assessment

Straightforward front-drive installations sit at the lower end. Rear garages, ducting and board upgrades push a quote higher.

We are based in east Birmingham and serve homeowners throughout Cannock and the surrounding areas, including Hednesford, Heath Hayes, Norton Canes, Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley, Rugeley, Penkridge.

We do not have an office in Cannock — we are a local Birmingham-based electrical contractor that covers it, which is why we can keep prices sensible and turn work around quickly.
