- Smart chargers with app-based controls
- Tethered and untethered charger options

Benefits of a Home EV Charger
Installing a dedicated charger at home gives you a reliable way to charge your vehicle overnight and have it ready when you need it. You can benefit from faster charging, convenient scheduling around off-peak tariffs and a safer installation designed specifically for electric vehicle charging.
A quality charging point can also add appeal to your Hertfordshire property for future buyers.

Workplace Charging Scheme Support
Government support and workplace charging schemes can change over time, with eligibility depending on the organisation, premises and proposed installation. AWB Electrical Services Ltd can help you understand the practical electrical requirements, assess your site and plan suitable charger locations.
We can also help prepare your infrastructure for future expansion, including suitable distribution, cabling routes and charger capacit
Load Management for EV Charging
Where multiple chargers are required, load management can help make the best use of the electrical capacity already available at your premises. This technology balances demand between charging points, helping to prevent overload while allowing several vehicles to charge efficiently.
It can be particularly useful for workplaces, apartment developments, fleet sites, offices and commercial car parks where a full supply upgrade may not be immediately required.
Our EV Charger Installation Process
Discuss Your Requirements
We begin by understanding your vehicle, charging habits, property or business requirements, preferred charger location and plans for future vehicles or additional charge points.
Assess and Design
We assess your electrical supply, consumer unit or distribution board capacity, earthing arrangements and cable route. We then recommend suitable smart chargers and explain any additional work required.
Install, Test and Handover
Our electricians install the dedicated circuit and charger, complete the relevant testing and provide certification. We will also explain the charger controls and answer any questions before leaving the site.
FAQs
What to Know About EV Chargers
Can you install EV charging infrastructure for businesses?
Yes. AWB Electrical Services Ltd installs commercial EV charging infrastructure for workplaces, offices, warehouses, retail sites, managed properties and fleet locations across Hertfordshire. Installations can range from a single charger to multi-bay, scalable charging networks.
What type of EV charger is best for my home?
The best home EV charger depends on your vehicle, electrical supply, parking arrangement and charging habits. We can recommend suitable smart chargers, including tethered or untethered options, following an assessment of your property.
Can you install EV chargers at residential properties?
Yes. We install home EV chargers at houses throughout Hertfordshire, including driveway, garage and outdoor charging locations. Each installation is designed around the property’s electrical capacity and suitable cable route.
How much does an EV charger installation cost?
EV charger installation costs vary depending on the charger selected, cable distance, existing electrical supply, consumer unit condition and whether any additional electrical work is needed. AWB Services provides tailored quotations following an assessment.
How long does it take to install a home EV charger?
Many straightforward home EV charger installations can be completed within a day. More complex work, such as a consumer unit upgrade, long cable route or supply alterations, may take longer. We will confirm the expected timescale before work begins.
Do I need a dedicated circuit for an EV charger?
Yes, a dedicated circuit is normally required for a fixed EV charging point. This helps ensure the charger has suitable protection and operates safely without placing unnecessary demand on existing household circuits.
Can you install EV chargers for all electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles?
Yes. We install EV chargers suitable for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles from major manufacturers. We will discuss your vehicle’s charging connection and requirements when recommending a compatible charger.
Where is the best place to install an EV charger?
The ideal location is usually close to where you park, such as a driveway, garage or designated parking bay. We consider cable routing, charger access, weather protection, electrical supply capacity and safe positioning during the site assessment.
Will my consumer unit need upgrading before an EV charger can be installed?
Not always. We assess your consumer unit, electrical supply, earthing and available capacity before installation. If the existing equipment does not provide suitable space or protection, we will explain whether an upgrade is required.
Can you install an EV charger if I do not have off-street parking?
An EV charger can only be installed where there is a safe and practical way to charge without creating a hazard. If charging would involve crossing a public pavement, you may need permission or an approved solution from your local authority.
Do I need planning permission to install an EV charger?
Planning permission is not commonly needed for a standard domestic EV charger, but requirements can vary for listed buildings, conservation areas, commercial sites and installations affecting public land. We can discuss practical site requirements before installation.
Will my EV charger installation be fully tested and certified?
Yes. EV charger installations are tested on completion, with checks for suitable protective devices, earthing and bonding arrangements. Relevant electrical certification and Building Regulations documentation are provided where applicable.
Can you install tethered and untethered EV chargers?
Yes. We install both tethered chargers, which have a cable permanently attached, and untethered chargers, which use a separate vehicle cable. We can explain the advantages of each option and help you choose the most suitable model.
Can you repair or replace a faulty EV charger?
If an existing EV charger is faulty or no longer suitable, contact AWB Electrical Services Ltd for advice. We can assess the electrical installation and discuss appropriate repair, replacement or upgrade options where required.
Do you provide servicing and maintenance for EV chargers?
We can provide electrical support for EV charging installations, including checks, testing and advice on maintaining safe charging infrastructure. For commercial and multi-charger sites, planned maintenance can help support reliable operation and future expansion.
