EV charger replacement in Accrington for early or failed units. A newer charge point brings faster charging, off peak scheduling and an app that still works. The existing cable can often be reused, which keeps the job short.
Early units run at 3.6kW, have no scheduling and often no app support left. If yours has failed, cannot be updated, or the maker has stopped supporting it, a new unit makes more sense than chasing parts for something ten years old.
More Information
The supply cable is normally the expensive part of an install, and it is often perfectly good. We test it for size, condition and insulation. If it passes and suits the new unit's current, the swap becomes a short job with no digging or chasing.
Newer chargers deliver 7kW, schedule around off peak tariffs and can watch solar export. They also seal better against weather and report faults remotely. For most drivers the tariff scheduling on its own changes what charging costs each month.
Replacing a charger should be a straightforward swap, and it usually is once the existing cable and protection have been checked. We test what is already there, tell you honestly whether it can stay, and mount the new unit on the same fixings where the pattern allows. Tested and certified at handover.

STILL NOT SURE?
Often yes. If the cable is the right size for the new unit's current and tests sound, it can stay. Older 3.6kW installs sometimes have thinner cable that will not carry 7kW, in which case it needs replacing. We test before quoting.
Usually two to three hours where the existing cable and protection can be reused. That covers taking the old unit off, mounting the new one, connecting, testing and setting up the app. A full reinstall with new cable takes most of a day.
We take it away and dispose of it through the correct waste stream, since it counts as electrical waste. If the unit still works and you would rather keep it or pass it on, say so and we will leave it with you instead.
