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.

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 get an installation quote before ordering?

Yes. To get an accurate quote, select a local installer and enter your details to begin the survey process. Trusted installers will review the information and provide a quote for approval.

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 certifications 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** will typically include higher costs for materials and labour. For example, trenching into the ground, a longer cable run over 10 metres, 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).

What does Single-Phase mean?

Single-phase is the phrase given to describe the electrical power supply that comes from the national grid into your property. Single-phase power supply is the most common type of electricity supply in UK homes, about 85% of domestic properties use it. It means electricity flows through one live wire, protected by a single fuse (usually rated at 60, 80, or 100 amps). With a single-phase power supply, the maximum charging rate for an EV charger is typically 7.3kW, which is perfect for most home charging needs.

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.

Why is standard installation from £425 excluding vat?

Every installation is different and every installation cost varies. We've been in the charging industry for years and there are too many variables to stick to a one price fits all. Having said that, we have given a 'from' price for standard installation for transparency and to give our customers a rough indication of what to expect to pay for. We believe this is a very fair cost. All Trusted Partners are local independent electricians that we have known for years, selected for their commitment to great workmanship and high levels of customer service.

Trusted installation.
