Ex-RAF. Ex-Fire Service.
100% Brechin Local.
I served as a Retained Firefighter with Brechin Fire Service and a Royal Air Force Electrical Engineer. I have seen firsthand what happens when electrical systems go wrong.
That's why I don't cut corners. When I install an EV charger at your home, I apply the same military precision and safety standards I used on aircraft. I know the grid issues in Brechin, Edzell, and Montrose better than anyone, and I ensure your home is safe for the high load of an electric car.

Why Ditch The 3-Pin Plug?
Charging a modern EV with a standard plug is like filling a bath with a teaspoon. Here is why you need a proper 7kW home charger.
3x Faster
Charging
Don't wait 24 hours for a full battery. Our 7kW chargers fill your car in 6-8 hours. Plug in at night, wake up fully charged.
Fire
Safety
Standard sockets melt under continuous high load. We install dedicated circuits with PEN Fault Protection to keep your home safe.
Smart
Savings
Unlock cheap overnight tariffs (like Octopus Intelligent). Schedule your charger to run only when electricity is 7.5p/kWh.
Property
Value
Off-street parking with a charging point is a top requirement for homebuyers in Angus. A neat installation makes your home future-proof.

PopularEV Charger Installation Positions in Brechin
Every home in Angus is different. Here is where we typically install.
House Wall
The standard install. We mount the charger to your external wall and drill through to your fuse box. Neat, tidy, and cost-effective.
Driveway Post
Perfect if you don't park right next to your house. We trench a cable under your garden/drive and mount the charger on a sturdy metal or timber post.
Detached Garage
Popular in Edzell. We run an armoured cable (SWA) to your garage, installing a new mini-fuse box that can power your car and your workshop tools.
Tenement / Shared
For older Brechin properties with shared parking, we can install lockable charging pedestals with key-fob access to prevent unauthorized use.

Safety Warning: The "Extension Lead" Trap
As a former firefighter, I see this too often. NEVER use a standard household extension lead to charge your car. They cannot handle the continuous high current and will melt or catch fire.
We install proper cable management solutions to keep you safe, legal, and insurance compliant.

EV Charger Installation FAQs
? Do you install EV chargers in Montrose?
Yes. From our base in Brechin, we cover Montrose (DD10) and Ferryden daily. We know the local grid well.
? Can I get an EV charger in a Brechin tenement?
Yes, but you may need permission for cable runs on shared walls. We specialize in Angus council planning rules for listed buildings.
? Who is the best EV installer near Forfar?
We are rated 5-stars for EV charger installation in Forfar and Kirriemuir, offering faster booking times than national companies.
? Can I install an EV charger myself?
No. It is a high-load electrical circuit that requires notification to building control and 18th Edition certification. Installing it yourself is illegal and will void your house insurance.
? How much does it cost to install?
Standard installs in Brechin typically start from £900-£1200. This includes the charger (like a Zappi or Ohme), the cabling, safety devices, and labour. Complex cable runs will cost slightly more.
? Do I need to upgrade my fuse box?
Not always. If your current consumer unit has spare ways and RCD protection, we can use it. If not, we often install a small separate 'mini consumer unit' just for the charger.
? What is Load Balancing?
A safety feature (CT Clamp) that monitors your home's total power usage. If you turn on the shower and oven, it automatically lowers the car charging speed to prevent blowing the main street fuse.
? Can I charge my company car at home?
Yes. Most modern chargers (like Ohme) allow you to export a digital receipt of your charging sessions, which you can send to your employer for expense reimbursement.
? Does it work with Solar Panels?
Yes, but you need a specific charger. The MyEnergi Zappi is the best choice for this. It detects when your solar panels are generating excess energy and diverts it into your car for free.
? Do I need a Smart Meter?
Technically no, the charger will work without one. However, if you want to access the ultra-cheap 'EV Tariffs' (like Octopus Intelligent @ 7.5p/kWh), your energy supplier will require a smart meter.
? How long is the warranty?
All the chargers we install (Zappi, Ohme, Hypervolt) come with a 3-year manufacturer warranty as standard. We also guarantee our workmanship for 12 months.
? Will you damage my driveway?
We aim for 'invisible' installs. If we need to bury a cable, we carefully lift driveway blocks or trench through soft ground. We always reinstate surfaces to a high standard.
? Is it really cheaper than petrol?
Yes. Charging at home on an off-peak tariff can cost as little as 2p per mile. A petrol car typically costs 15p-20p per mile. The savings are huge over a year.
