There are no installers in my area, can I arrange my own and will this affect the warranty?

Yes. You can arrange your own installer for a Simpson & Partners Home Series charger. Any qualified electrician can carry out the installation, and this will not affect the warranty as long as installation meets the guidelines and is done by a qualified professional.

Why is standard installation from £425 excluding VAT?

Every installation is different and costs vary. The 'from' price provides a rough indication of what to expect to pay, giving transparency while accounting for variables like site conditions and installer requirements.

What information do I need to provide in the survey?

Installers typically ask for photos of where you want to put your charger, a close‑up photo of your consumer unit with the lid open, a photo of your fuse box, and a rough distance between the consumer unit and charger location.

Can I use my own installer?

Yes. Any qualified electrician can install Simpson & Partners products. Sharing installer guides with your electrician ahead of time is recommended for the best outcome.

Standard installation

Standard installation* is considered installation of one Home Series Wall mount 7kW charger. It also includes a pre-installation survey online, by video, or in person (if you are unable to send digital photos), a cable run of up to 10m, drilling through one wall where the incoming supply is on the internal surface of an external wall, a new consumer unit, all electrical cerifications and Building Control notification, DNO application/ notification as relevant. It doesn't include working at height, or trenching the cable into the ground (or hanging above it), running a cable under floorboards or through ducting / ceiling voids/wall voids without a draw cord (to pull the cable through), or if the floorboards have not been lifted.
‍
Non-Standard installation** typically includes costs related to materials and labour. For example, trenching into the ground, longer cable runs, installing a Home Series Wall mount 22kW charger (the cables are more expensive than 7kW models), or Home Series Freestanding and Business Series (all models).

Should I Upgrade to 3-phase power supply?

It’s up to you, but it’s not a widespread practice by any means. A 3-phase supply allows for faster EV charging (up to 22kW). It’s also useful if you have two EV’s (they can share the load) or if you have high-demand appliances like heat pumps, hot tubs, an indoor swimming pool or multiple ovens. Many commercial premises such as warehouses, farms, factories, shops and restaurants have three phase power. The residential buildings that might have three phase power could include new build large homes, barn conversions (which used to be/ still are working farms that power machinery), homes in tower blocks (there could be a lift). Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason as to why some building have three-phase or single phase. There's notihng stopping you from exploring upgrading to 3-phase, but just know that it can be time consuming and expensive.

What is the difference between single-phase and three-phase power?

Single-phase power is the standard electricity supply for most UK homes — around 85% of domestic properties use it. It delivers electricity through one live wire and is protected by a single fuse (typically rated at 60, 80, or 100 amps). With single-phase, the maximum charging rate for an EV charger is usually 7.3kW, which is ideal for overnight charging and suits most households. Three-phase power, on the other hand, is more common in commercial buildings or larger homes. It uses three live wires, allowing electricity to flow more efficiently and at higher capacity. If your property has a three-phase supply, you can install a charger capable of delivering up to 22kW —useful for larger battery EVs or homes with multiple electric vehicles needing faster turnaround. In short: • Single-phase = up to 7.3kW charging, standard for most homes • Three-phase = up to 22kW charging, suited for high-demand setups, commercial car parks, multi-dwelling residences.

How Easy Is It to Upgrade to 3-Phase Power?

The short answer is it’s not that simple (or cheap) to upgrade your property to 3-phase power supply. But here are the steps on how to upgrade to 3-phase: You’ll need to reach out to your Distribution Network Operator (DNO). If you don’t know who your DNO is, contact your electricity provider or search “who is my DNO”. Your DNO are responsible for the infrastructure that supplies electricity to your home or business. Assessment: The DNO will assess whether a 3-phase upgrade is feasible for your property. The feasibility study outcome depends on your location, existing supply and how close you are to a 3-phase network. Costs can vary widely, from a few hundred to several thousand pounds. It really depends on the complexity of the work. How long does it take? It may take several weeks or months to complete, especially if roadworks or new cabling are required. You will bear the full cost of this work as there are no grants available.
