FAQ
EV Charger Installer questions, answered
Do I qualify for the SEAI EV home charger grant?+
Most homeowners with off-street parking can claim the SEAI home charger grant. Your TradesHero installer can advise on eligibility and provide the documentation you need to apply.
How long does an EV charger install take?+
A standard installation usually takes 2–4 hours. More complex jobs — long cable runs or a fuse board upgrade — can take most of a day.
Do I need a special electrician to fit an EV charger?+
Yes. Home EV chargers must be installed by a registered electrician and certified. Every TradesHero installer is vetted for Safe Electric registration and insurance.
Can I charge from a regular socket instead?+
A dedicated charge point is faster and far safer than a standard socket for daily charging. A 7kW unit charges most EVs overnight.
