A hamlet near the town edge
Country addresses within easy reach of town
Though small and rural, Graylands lies close to Horsham's northern edge, and its homes share some features with the town and some with the countryside. Off road parking is usual for homes outside town, which makes car charging practical, while supplies and earthing can vary from one property to the next. That mix is why we ask for photos of both the board and the meter.
Our boards are sized from your current circuit count plus what you are planning. Dual RCD protection on 10 ways costs £495, but a home adding a charger, a battery or a garden office does better with full RCBO on 10 to 12 ways at £695, which keeps each new circuit independent of the others.
- Board and meter photos checked
- Spare ways planned in
- RCBO for independent circuits
- Off road charging in mind

Making room for a home charger
A 7kW home charger draws around 32 amps for hours at a time, more than almost anything else in the house. It needs its own circuit, its own protection, and a board with a spare way to connect to. Charger installers are often reluctant to connect where the existing board is an old fuse box or has no RCD protection, so the board often comes first.
We leave a clearly labelled spare way for the charger and check the earthing arrangement, which matters for car charging on supplies earthed through the network cable. Your charger installer then connects to a board that is ready for them. If you already have a newer board without surge protection, a retrofit is £165.
- Spare way for a 32A charger
- Earthing checked for EV use
- Board ready for your installer
- Surge retrofit £165

Graylands questions
Asked in Graylands
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Sometimes. If your board is modern, has a spare way and suitable RCD protection, and the supply has enough capacity, a charger can often connect to it, or to a small separate unit beside it. If the board is an old fuse box or already full, replacing it first is usually the tidier and safer route.
Not usually on its own, but it adds a large, long lasting load on top of everything else. Many chargers can be set to reduce their output when the house is busy, and the charger installer should check your main fuse rating and notify UK Power Networks. Our part is making sure the board is ready to receive the circuit.
On a dual RCD board, a charger circuit would share an RCD with other circuits, so one fault could take several down at once. The wiring regulations require each charging point to have its own RCD protection, which an RCBO provides neatly. That is one reason many people adding a charger choose RCBO, from £625 for 8 ways.
