⚡ Why a Site Survey Matters Before Installing an EV Charger ⚡
One of the most important parts of an EV charger installation happens BEFORE the charger is even fitted.
A proper site survey allows us to assess:
✔️ Whether the property has suitable parking/driveway access
✔️ The best location for the EV charger
✔️ Length of cable run required
✔️ Whether an EV consumer unit is needed
✔️ If load monitoring is required
✔️ The maximum demand of the property
✔️ What ENA/DNO notification is required
Every house is different.
Modern homes often already have high electrical demand from:
🔹 Electric showers
🔹 Hot tubs
🔹 Heat pumps
🔹 Induction hobs
🔹 Storage heaters
Without checking the existing installation properly, you risk overloading the electrical supply or running into DNO approval issues later.
A proper survey ensures the installation is:
✅ Safe
✅ Compliant
✅ Cost effective
✅ Designed correctly for your property
At Gault Electrical Solutions Ltd, every EV charger installation starts with a professional assessment — not guesswork.
