Home charge points (purchase/problems/questions) (See mod note post#1)

Hi folks,

Can anyone recommend an EV charger installer? Bought a new build which has plenty of ducts so want to see what my options are to have an EV charger installed. Based on Dublin for what it's worth!

Thanks

Have access to them via work, and yes have solar panels and heat pump! Thanks for response

He wasn't avoiding anything, why is everyone here so suspicious? There was never any need to go near my attic I was just talking to him about installs in general when he was tidying up and how the regulations were continually changing. His company didn't allow them to go into the attic space and at that time (2021) it was practically impossible to get the go ahead to install anything in the meter box.

I just had a bathroom fan installed as part of the seai grant and all the wiring is done through the attic so definitely allowed

Jesus you're an oddball, did you read my post at all? There was no need whatsoever to go near the attic it was only mentioned in conversation as he was finishing up, he wasn't talking me out of anything (more suspicion). Regarding accessing the meter box, he agreed 100% it would have saved him a lot of drilling but it wouldn't be worth the hassle for him because accessing the meter box would involve getting more company bosses involved etc and would certainly have delayed the install, anyway he had, and I had, good quality drills and bits to get the job over the line that day which is what we both wanted.

You definitely have an uncanny ability to misread everything, you assume everyone is lying. What a weird outlook on life 🤔

Right, time to get this back in perspective with a what I posted earlier and put a stop to this attack. 1) I never grilled anyone, I simply asked Toots was the cable inside going through the attic #8672. He replied it was going through the attic #8680.

2) #8672 I said it looks tidy, I thought power would have been fed underneath, backed up by zg3409 who said it's best practice to connect from the bottom. I never said the wrong isolator was fitted in fact I said it was the correct one #8681.

Post #8691 was where you accused me for the second time of lying. I offered him the use of a mains power masonry drill as he had a battery drill with him but he said it should be man enough for the job, I put his spare battery on his charger in case he needed it as he was going to another job in the afternoon.

I still stand over what I was told by my installer. His company did not allow them to enter attic space.

Agree.

Anything else is just FUD @CoBo55. Assume it's not intentional but this is how old wives tales start and then become "fact" unless challenged.

Cable runs are allowed through the attic.

Bad information is pervasive. Don't propagate it. The installer in your case was talking waffle (for whatever reason) someone saying something with their mouth doesn't make it true.

Any recommendations for North Dublin installers? Also is a connection to the fuse box necessary? Mine is a at back of the house on the opposite side that I want to get the charger installed. Actually want to get it installed right beside the meter. First time getting a plug in and all new to me.

Thanks

I'd like to replace a Tesla gen 1 Wall charger (connector broke a pin and the whole unit needs replacing), seems the Tesla gen 3 is quite cheap at 535€ on the website... I don't need a zappi for solar at double the price, but Nigel is saying the Tesla doesn't comply with some regulations?

I assume it's a straight replacement for the old gen1, no other work required, so any electrician from this list should be able to do it?
