Electrician in Nazeing for EV Chargers, Rewires and Electrical Work

We recently installed an EV charger for a local homeowner who wanted the installation to be practical without having cables unnecessarily visible across the outside of the property. Before we started, we looked at where the car would normally be parked, where the charger would be easiest to use and, importantly, how we could route the cable as discreetly as possible.

That attention to the finished job is important to us. When you use JJB Electrical Ltd as your Electrician in Nazeing, we do not simply turn up, fit the equipment and leave. We plan the work properly, explain the options and aim to leave the installation looking like it belongs there.

I have around 20 years of experience in the electrical industry and JJB Electrical Ltd is NAPIT registered, MCS certified, a Which? Trusted Trader and TrustMark registered. We have also built up more than 200 customer reviews. One of the simplest things that separates us from many trades is something customers regularly tell us matters: we turn up when we say we will.

EV Charger Installation in Nazeing

EV charger installations are one of the most requested electrical services we carry out around Nazeing.

A good EV installation starts before the charger goes on the wall. We look at the position of the consumer unit, the available electrical supply, where the vehicle is normally parked and the most sensible route for the new cable.

On a recent installation, the customer particularly wanted to avoid an untidy cable run. We discussed several options before choosing the charger position and concealed the cabling wherever reasonably possible.

During the same project, we found that upgrading the electrical protection was the right approach. We installed a new modern consumer unit incorporating individual RCD protection and surge protection.

Once the charger had been installed, we commissioned and tested it, demonstrated its operation to the customer and cleaned the working area thoroughly before leaving.

It is a good example of how we approach EV work. The installation has to be electrically correct, but we also think about how it is going to look and work for the customer every day.

Electrical Services We Provide in Nazeing

As a general Electrician in Nazeing, we cover everything from changing a light fitting or adding a socket through to complete rewires and renewable energy installations.

EV chargers

We install domestic EV charging equipment and can assess the existing electrical installation before recommending the most appropriate way to connect it.

Cable routing and charger positioning are considered carefully, particularly where customers want to keep the front or side of their home looking tidy.

Consumer unit and fusebox upgrades

One of the common issues we encounter locally is an older fusebox with limited or no RCD protection.

Replacing an older consumer unit can provide individual circuit protection, modern RCD or RCBO protection and surge protection where required.

We test the relevant electrical installation as part of the work rather than assuming that everything connected to an old fusebox is fault-free.

Home rewires

Older electrical installations can develop problems that cannot sensibly be solved by continually adding to the existing wiring.

Where a rewire is necessary, we discuss socket positions, lighting, smoke alarms and how the property will actually be used before work begins. This is particularly useful when customers are renovating or have recently purchased a property.

Solar panels and battery storage

Through our MCS-certified renewable energy work, we install solar PV and battery storage systems.

We can look at solar, battery storage or a combination of the two rather than automatically suggesting the largest possible system. The right solution depends on the property, electricity consumption and what the customer actually wants to achieve.

Security and external lighting

There is strong demand locally for security lighting as well as EV charging.

We install external lighting for driveways, entrances and other areas around the home. We consider positioning carefully so the lighting improves visibility and security without simply flooding the entire property with unnecessary light.

EICRs and electrical testing

We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses.

An EICR is an inspection and test of the existing electrical installation. If we identify a problem, we explain what we have found rather than simply presenting the customer with a list of electrical codes without context.

Small electrical jobs

Not every electrical job needs to be a large project.

We also carry out smaller work such as:

• Changing light fittings
• Replacing sockets and switches
• Installing additional sockets
• External lighting
• Security lights
• Minor electrical alterations
• Electrical fault finding

These smaller jobs are carried out with the same approach as our larger installations.

Older Fuseboxes and Lack of RCD Protection

A common issue we see is an older consumer unit that does not provide the level of protection expected from a modern installation.

RCD protection is designed to disconnect the electrical supply rapidly under certain fault conditions. Modern consumer units can also incorporate RCBOs, allowing circuits to have individual protection so that a fault on one circuit does not necessarily remove power from several unrelated circuits.

We also install surge protection devices where appropriate to help protect electrical and electronic equipment against transient overvoltages.

If you have an older fusebox, it does not automatically mean that the whole property needs rewiring. We can inspect and test the installation first and explain what actually needs attention.
