Installation Process
If you have off-street parking and you are the homeowner, then it should be straightforward to get a home charger installed. In fact, around 60% of UK residential properties have off-street parking and therefore ideally suited for home electric car charging. If you do not have off-street parking or live in rented accommodation, or a flat, for example, then you can still get a charger installed but it will depend on your individual circumstances. Those in rented accommodation will require permission from the landlord, as would those living in flats/apartments even if you own the property. Other factors to consider include the length and complexity of the cable run, how the installer (such as Smart Home Charge) will connect the charger to a power source, to name a few. All smart home chargers need to connect to the internet, either through Wi-Fi or through a 4G/5G mobile connection. It’s worth checking if you can get a stable connection to either by standing where you’re likely to put the charger and seeing if you can connect to another device like a smartphone.

- Your Order
Add your 7.4kW Smart Home EV Charger to your cart and checkout. Once we have received your order we will be in touch to arrange your Technical Site Survey. Your order includes the 7.4kW Smart Charger, delivery and Technical Site Survey. - Book your Technical Site Survey
We will send you a booking link via Email and SMS so you can schedule a date and time for your Technical Site Survey. - The Site Survey
Our engineers will visit, deliver your EV Charger and perform the Technical Site Survey, so they can work out if there are any issues or complications with the installation. Once completed our team will be in touch via Email and SMS to advise of the cost of the installation (the average cost is ยฃ695.00 inc VAT). We will send you an invoice for 75% of the installation cost, which needs to be paid before the installation can proceed. If you decline our installation offer, we will send you your 3 year warranty information and any DNO will be the responsibility of your appointed installer. - We will contact your DNO
An EV charger draws a lot of power from the grid, therefore itโs a requirement that your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) is notified before we can install your home charging point. As part of our service, we will notify your DNO on your behalf. Typically, a DNO will take up to 10-14 days to approve or decline your installation โ in most cases, everything gets the go ahead and weโll book an installation date for you. In some cases, the DNO may want to perform upgrades before we install your charge point, or it may ask us to lower the power of your charge point until they have completed any upgrades. If the DNO does want to carry out any works at your property, it should contact you directly about this. Your DNO may charge for the upgrade works or they could perform it for free. Any potential works and associated costs or delays to your installation caused by the DNO are unfortunately out of our hands. - Weโll arrange the installation
Once the DNO has confirmed that the install can go ahead, our booking team will get in touch and send you our earliest available installation date. You will receive an email and a text message. A few days before installation, we will send you a text message with some guidance on how to get ready for the installation date. While we canโt give you an exact time as to when your engineer will arrive at your property, we will give you an arrival window in advance. Our engineers will also require clear access to all work areas, so we ask that you ensure that all work areas are clear before our engineers arrive at your property. The engineer will run through the proposed works with you and double check youโre happy with the cable route. The engineer may spot an alternative route and charger location, but they will check your preference if this is the case. They will then get to work and inform you in advance when the power needs to be switched off. - Weโll set up the app
Our engineer will install the charge point and cabling, before commissioning the EV charger so it is online and connected to the companion app. The engineer will pair the app to the charger, so you can use it for scheduling and other smart features. You can find plenty of supporting information on your EV charger and app in our troubleshooting guides, or you can refer to the instructions. - Weโll check youโre happy
The engineer will run through the completed installation work to check youโre happy with everything, before asking you to complete a short questionnaire during which you will sign off the work. Once the engineer has left, youโll receive a Customer Satisfaction Survey so you can rate the engineer on the day as well as our overall service. We will send you an invoice for the remaining 25% of the installation cost. Once the balance has been paid, we will send you the accredited paperwork signing off the work and your 5 year warranty information.
