What we fit

Home EV charger installation in Cheshire.

A home charger turns charging into something that happens while you sleep. The car is full every morning, at whatever your overnight rate is, and you stop planning journeys around other people’s chargers.

Every home EV charger installation we do across Cheshire can do something better still when it sits alongside solar: charge on what the roof is making rather than what the grid is selling.

In short

Since the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021, a home charger has to be smart: it comes with default charging hours set outside the weekday peaks (8 to 11 in the morning and 4 to 10 in the evening), the owner can override them, and it applies a random delay of up to ten minutes to each charge. A 22 kW charger needs a three-phase supply and most UK homes are single phase, so a home charger is normally 7 kW or so; Hypervolt publishes its Home 3 Pro at 7.4 kW single phase. In England a wall charger is normally permitted development, with new rules from 21 October 2026; in Wales the 2019 rules apply. A home charger is notified to the network operator. Under the Energy Networks Association’s connect-and-notify process, where the home’s maximum demand stays at 60 amps per phase or less the charger is fitted first and notified within 28 days; above that, the operator is asked first.

The roof studio

Turn the house, fill the roof.

A Cheshire semi on a turntable. Drag it round, then tell it about your roof and your house — the panels, the battery, the current running through it and the numbers all move together.

Of what the roof generates

Used in the house70% Exported30%

Worked out for a typical Cheshire roof at the pitch and aspect you picked, on a unit rate of 28p and an export rate of 6.5p — rates this tool assumes, dated September 2026, rather than any tariff you have been offered. Nothing here is a quotation: your roof, your shading and how much electricity you use while the sun is up are what the survey settles.

Take the figures with you.

Copy what the studio worked out for your roof, or send it straight to us with a survey request. None of it is a quote: the survey replaces every figure above with your own.

Book a survey with these figures How we size a system
Every assumption behind the numbers
Unit rate
28p for every unit (kWh) you’d otherwise buy from the grid.
Export rate
6.5p for every unit the house and battery can’t use and send back to the grid.
Your yearly use
Worked out from your monthly bill at the 28p unit rate, after a standing charge of about 36p a day — and never less than 1,100 kWh a year.
What a panel makes
Each panel is 440 W (0.44 kWp). A kWp makes 880 kWh a year facing south, 760 facing east–west and 620 facing north-ish. For this part of Cheshire the EU’s PVGIS model gives 951 for a south roof at a typical pitch — the studio stays below it.
Pitch
Shallow (28°) makes 95% of a typical 38° roof; steep (48°) makes 97%.
Shading
A bit of shade costs 10%; heavy shade costs 24%.
How many panels
Two rows, growing with your bill from three columns to eight — six panels up to sixteen.
How much you use yourself
The share of what the roof makes that the house uses: 30% if you’re usually out, 46% in and out, 62% usually home. A battery adds 24 points and a car charger 6, up to 86% — and never more than 62% of your whole year’s use.
Saving
The units you use yourself at 28p, plus the units you export at 6.5p.
Payback
The yearly saving set against what a system like the one you’ve built typically costs to install: a base figure, an amount for each panel, and more again for a battery or a charger. The answer is held between 4 and 25 years. The studio never shows that cost, because only a survey can price your roof — so treat the years as a rough guide, not a figure to hold us to.

Monthly and yearly sunshine for this area: PVGIS 5.2, EU Joint Research Centre. The unit rate, the export rate and the standing charge are the studio’s own assumptions, set in September 2026 — not a tariff we have quoted you. Your own rates are on your bill, and a survey works from those.

EV charging

Charging on your own generation.

A solar-aware charger watches what the house is exporting and puts that into the car instead. On a good day the surplus does the work; on a dull one the charger tops up from the grid at whatever rate you have chosen.

That is a setting, not a slogan: Hypervolt publishes an Eco mode that puts solar and home-battery energy first, and a Super-Eco mode that uses nothing else. Which suits you depends on your supplier and how far you drive.

EV charging

What we check before quoting.

  • The incoming supplyThe main fuse and the board decide what can be added and whether load management is needed. This is the check that stops a charger tripping the house every evening.
  • The routeWhere the cable can run so it is protected, tidy and not across a doorway or a drive that gets dug up next spring.
  • Where the car parksTethered or socketed, which side the car’s inlet is on, and whether the cable will reach without being dragged over a wall.
  • EarthingAn outdoor charge point needs the right earthing arrangement for the supply it is on — usually a device that monitors it and disconnects if the supply goes out of limits.
  • The networkCharge points are notified to the network operator. We do that; you do not chase it.

EV charging

Answers to the three questions we get most.

“Will it charge overnight?”
Yes, and most tariffs make that the cheapest window. The charger can be told to work only inside it.
“Can it use my solar?”
If the charger supports surplus diversion, yes — that is exactly what the eco modes are for.
“Do I need a special cable?”
A tethered unit brings its own. A socketed unit takes the cable that came with the car.

EV charging

Fitted to be lived with.

The unit goes where you actually park, at a height that suits whoever uses it, with the cable dressed so it is not lying in a puddle. The isolation is labelled, the route is protected, and the board is left tidier than we found it.

We fit Hypervolt and the Tesla Wall Connector.

Philip GilbertGoogle review · March 2026

I recently had a Tesla charger installed by Daniel, and I’m extremely pleased with the whole experience. From start to finish, Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, and very efficient. He explained the installation process clearly and made sure everything was set up perfectly for my Tesla.

The work was completed to a very high standard, and Daniel paid great attention to detail to ensure the charger was installed safely and neatly. He was also friendly, punctual, and happy to answer any questions I had.

I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to install a Tesla charger. Excellent service and a great job. Thank you

Daniel CurleancaGoogle review · March 2026

Electrifyd did a great job at installing my EV charger. They were very professional throughout and efficient. Once the charger was installed they took the time to help me set it all up on my Tesla app. They assessed my home for solar panels at the same time and provided a very helpful, comprehensive and competitive quote. I would highly recommend their services.

Thomas PesnotGoogle review · June 2026

Daniel and his son delivered quick, efficient and very professional service.I used their company to install two EV chargers for my home and my business. I’m very pleased with the work they did and planning on using their services to provide me with solar panels in near future. Can’t recommend them enough!
