EV Charging Point Installation by Speller's Sparks (Trusted Local Electrician)!

Why You Should Choose a Local Electrician Over a Third-Party EV Charger Installer

Thinking of getting an EV charger installed at home? It’s a great move—and having your own EV charge point makes life a whole lot easier. But when it comes to getting it fitted, you’ve got two main options: go with a “big-name” third-party installer or use your trusted local electrician.

Here’s why going local is often the better choice:

EV Charge Point Installation from your Local Electrician Richard Speller, of Speller's Sparks. Discussing why, in his opinion, a Local Business would run rings around any Third-Party-Installer!

1. You know who you’re dealing with

When you choose a local electrician like me, you’re not dealing with a call centre or some faceless online booking system. You’re speaking to the person who’ll actually turn up at your house. That means better communication, no surprises, and a proper chat about what’ll work best for your setup.

Whenever you get any electrical work you should ensure that your electrician is qualified and registered - you'll then know that the person doing the work is able to test and inspect the installation properly and safely!

2. Tailored advice, not one-size-fits-all

Every home’s different—location of the consumer unit, available power capacity, where you park, even future-proofing for solar. I’ll come out, have a proper look, and recommend the right charger and setup for you—not just what’s easiest to fit.

Only the best products and accessories are used on any install that I complete - I don't cut corners! This is the new weather-proof EV Consumer Unit from Fusebox.

3. No cutting corners

Some third-party firms are more focused on volume than quality. I take my time to make sure everything’s done safely, neatly, and to current regs. I’ll also talk through any necessary upgrades—like if your fuse board needs a tweak to handle the extra load—so it’s all above board and future-proof.

4. You’re supporting a local business

By choosing me, you're supporting a small, local business—not a big national company. That means your money stays in the community, and you get the kind of service that only comes when someone genuinely cares about their reputation.

5. Ongoing support if anything goes wrong

If you ever have a question or issue with your charger down the line, you can just call or message me directly. No hold music, no ticketing system—just a helpful human who knows the job inside out and remembers your setup.
