• Q1: How long does a typical EV charger installation take?

Usually, our expert WarmInstallers can have your home EV charger fully installed and ready to go in just a few hours – often around 2-4 hours for a standard installation. We always aim to be quick and cause minimal fuss!

• Q2: Do I need any special permission to install an EV charger at my home?

If you own your home and have off-street parking (like a driveway or garage), you generally don't need special planning permission for a standard EV charger installation. If you're renting, you'll need your landlord's okay first. We are happy to chat through any specific situations.

• Q3: What happens if my property requires a non-standard installation?

No worries! Our online quote process is pretty smart, but if your setup is a bit more unique (e.g., the charger is a long way from your fuse box, or some extra electrical work is needed), we'll identify this and give you a clear, fixed quote for any additional work before we start. No surprises, remember!

• Q4: Which EV charger is the right one for my specific car and home setup?

There are a few options, but don't sweat it. We’ll help you choose the perfect residential EV charger based on your car, how much you drive, and your home’s electrical setup. Our goal is to get you the best fit, not the fanciest just for the sake of it.

• Q5: Can WarmZilla help me with applying for the OZEV grant (if applicable)?

Government grant schemes for EV chargers can change. We’ll always provide you with the latest information we have on the EV chargepoint grant and guide you on how it might apply to your EV charger installation cost.

• Q6: What warranty coverage do I receive with my charger and installation?

You get double peace of mind! The EV chargers themselves come with a manufacturer's warranty (we'll tell you exactly how long per model), and our WarmZilla installation workmanship is also guaranteed. We’ve got you covered.

• Q7: Approximately how much does it cost to run an EV charger?

Good news – charging your EV at home is typically much cheaper than petrol or diesel, and often a lot less than public chargers! The exact cost depends on your electricity tariff (you can save even more if you charge overnight on a cheaper rate) and how much you drive.

• Q8: Will the EV charger work with my existing solar panels?

Potentially, yes! Many smart EV chargers can be set up to work with home solar panel systems, meaning you could be charging your car with free, green energy. If this is something you're keen on, let us know, and we can look at compatible options.

• Q9: What are my options if I plan to move house in the future?

Some chargers can be taken with you, though it would require professional de-installation and re-installation. It's often simpler to leave it and consider it an attractive feature for potential buyers. We can discuss options if this is a concern.
