Rural homes with space for a charger
Poundgate is a small settlement of individual houses and cottages rather than a village street, and in a rural spot like this, off road parking is more common than parking on the street. That makes home charging realistic for a lot of households. What it does not guarantee is a fuse box ready for the job, and older boards are frequently the stumbling block.
Charger installers usually want a modern consumer unit with proper RCD protection and space for a dedicated circuit before they connect anything. Replacing the board first, from £425 for a dual RCD unit or £625 for a full RCBO board, turns the charger fitting into a simpler job rather than a surprise extra.

Getting the board ready before the charger arrives
A 7 kW home charger draws a heavy, steady load for hours at a time, usually overnight. Combined with an electric shower, cooker or immersion heater, that can push an older supply hard. Before a charger goes in, someone needs to check the main fuse rating, the meter tails and whether the consumer unit has room for a dedicated circuit.
We look at all three when we replace your board and leave a spare way labelled for the charger, so whoever fits it is connecting to a modern, fully tested board. If the main fuse looks undersized for what you want to run, we explain how to ask UK Power Networks about an upgrade.

- Spare way labelled for a charger

Poundgate questions
Asked in Poundgate
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not always. Many homes with a 60 or 80 amp main fuse can take a charger, especially one with load management that slows charging when the house is busy. A 100 amp fuse gives more headroom. The rating is often marked on the main fuse carrier, so a clear photo of it helps us advise.
Usually, yes. The charger needs its own circuit, and a modern board gives it a proper protected connection point. Doing it the other way round can leave the charger wired into a temporary arrangement that has to be undone when the old fuse box is finally replaced, which costs you twice.
It can if the charger leaks a small DC current and the protection is not designed to cope with it. Chargers either include their own DC fault detection or need a suitable RCD type, and the charger installer should confirm which. We make sure the board's own RCD protection works properly alongside whatever charger you choose.
