## How a home charger installation works

1. **Choose your charger.** Pick the charger before you ask for quotes, so every installer prices the same job. We compare 26 home chargers A to Z; 25 of them have PEN fault protection built in, which usually means no earth rod.
2. **Survey and a written quote.** Most installers start with photos or a visit: where your consumer unit is, the cable route to the parking space, your main fuse and your earthing. Ask for a fixed price in writing that includes VAT and any extra work.
3. **Your network operator.** Your installer tells the network operator about a new charger. Most single-phase home chargers can be fitted first and notified afterwards; if your supply needs work, such as a bigger main fuse or splitting a shared (looped) supply, the operator has to approve it first.
4. **Installation day.** A standard installation usually takes two to four hours: a new circuit from your consumer unit, the charger on the wall, safety checks and testing. You should get an electrical installation certificate for the new circuit.
5. **Set it up and charge for less.** Connect the app, set a schedule and switch to an EV tariff. The cheapest overnight rate we compare is 6.5p/kWh, on Intelligent Octopus Go and E.ON Next Drive Smart (November 2026).

## Before you book an installer

We list firms that fit EV chargers; we do not check registrations or insurance.

- **Registered for electrical work.** A new circuit for a charger is work a registered electrician should certify. Check the firm on the government-approved register or its scheme's own search. Check: [Competent Persons Register](https://www.competentperson.co.uk/), [NICEIC contractor search](https://www.niceic.com/find-a-contractor), [NAPIT installer search](https://search.napit.org.uk/).
- **Authorised for the grant, if you claim it.** If you rent, or own a flat with private off-street parking, the EV chargepoint grant can cover 75% of the cost of buying and installing a chargepoint, up to £500. Only an OZEV-authorised installer can claim it for you. Check: [GOV.UK chargepoint installer search](https://www.gov.uk/electric-vehicle-chargepoint-installers), [GOV.UK: EV chargepoint grant](https://www.gov.uk/electric-vehicle-chargepoint-grant-household).
- **A fixed quote in writing.** It should name the charger, the cable route, any consumer unit work and who tells the network operator, with VAT included.
- **Warranty on the charger and the work.** The charger has the maker's warranty; the installation needs the installer's own. Ask how long each lasts and who you call if the charger trips or goes offline.

## Questions

### How do I find an EV charger installer near me?

Enter your postcode at the top of this page, or pick your city from the list. We list 408 installer listings from 231 firms across 50 UK cities, each with its Google rating (checked June to July 2026). [Find installers by postcode](https://www.bestchargers.co.uk/find-an-installer/)

### How much does it cost to install a home EV charger?

It depends on the charger, how far the parking space is from your consumer unit, and whether the consumer unit or main fuse needs work. Get a fixed written quote after a survey; our installation cost guide explains what moves the price. [What changes the price](https://www.bestchargers.co.uk/ev-charger-installation-cost-2025/)

### Is there a grant for installing a home charger?

If you rent, or own a flat with private off-street parking, the EV chargepoint grant can cover 75% of the cost of buying and installing a chargepoint, up to £500. Your installer must be OZEV-authorised to claim it. Checked October 2026. [The EV chargepoint grant explained](https://www.bestchargers.co.uk/ozev-ev-chargepoint-grant/)

### Do I need permission from my network operator?

Your installer tells the network operator (DNO) about a new charger. Most single-phase home chargers can be fitted first and notified afterwards; the operator approves it first if your supply needs work, such as a bigger main fuse or splitting a shared supply. [DNO approval explained](https://www.bestchargers.co.uk/dno-approval-for-uk-home-ev-chargers/)

### How long does a home charger installation take?

A standard installation usually takes two to four hours. A long cable run, groundworks or consumer unit work can take most of a day. [How a home charger is installed](https://www.bestchargers.co.uk/how-to-install-a-home-ev-charger-in-the-uk/)

### Will I need an earth rod?

Usually not with a modern charger: 25 of the 26 chargers we compare have PEN fault protection built in, which usually removes the need for one. Your installer makes the final call. [Earth rods explained](https://www.bestchargers.co.uk/do-you-need-an-earthing-rod-for-ev-chargers/)

### Can I install a home charger myself?

A charger needs its own circuit from your consumer unit, and that work should be done and certified by a registered electrician. The grant also needs an OZEV-authorised installer. [Check an electrician is registered](https://www.competentperson.co.uk/)

## How we built this directory

- Every listing fits EV chargers: confirmed on the firm's own website, or Google lists it as an EV charger installer. Each listing says which.
- Ratings are Google's own, checked June to July 2026. We never rate installers ourselves.
- Each city lists local firms first, then national networks; each group runs by number of Google reviews.
- Network operators: from Octopus Energy's public grid supply point data, October 2026. Postcode districts: city_outcode_map in supabase/seed.sql (main); council areas and centres from postcodes.io; GSP groups from api.octopus.energy, each asked with the nearest full postcode to the outcode centre.
