At Addison Electrical, we design, install and execute safe, scalable EV charging installation services for commercial properties and homes across Manchester and the Northwest. We are NICEIC certified and have over 60 years of electrical experience under our belt.
Installing EV charging isn’t just about fitting a unit to a wall. Done properly, it reduces risk, supports future demand, and protects your electrical system. Done badly, it leads to overloads, compliance issues, and expensive rework.
Most EV charger issues don’t come from the hardware; they come from poor electrical planning. Expert electricians handle installations differently. Here’s why you should work with us;
● NICEIC-approved: fully compliant, tested, and certified
● Full electrical assessment first: no guesswork, no shortcuts
● Designed for future demand: long-lasting solution
● 60+ years of experience: proven electrical expertise, not just EV installs
You’re not just getting a charger installed. You’re getting an electrical system that’s designed to handle it properly.
For businesses, landlords, and property operators, EV charging is now a crucial part of your infrastructure, not an add-on.
So we design and install systems for:
● Offices and commercial premises
● Retail parks and customer car parks
● Industrial units and warehouses
● Property portfolios and developments
● Fleet and workplace charging
What we deliver:
● Full load capacity assessment
● Scalable infrastructure design
● Multi-charger and load-balancing setup
● Distribution integration
● Ongoing maintenance and support
This ensures your system can expand as demand increases, without needing to start again.
For homeowners, the priority is simple: safe, reliable charging that works properly from day one.
A correct installation includes:
● Electrical capacity and load checks
● Earthing and circuit protection
● Safe cable routing and positioning
● Full testing and NICEIC certification
Retrofitting can be a cost-effective way to upgrade to EV charging using your existing electrical infrastructure.
In the right setup, it can:
● Reduce upfront costs
● Minimise disruption
● Deliver solid energy efficiency improvements
However, not every system is suitable for retrofit.
If your existing infrastructure is outdated or near capacity, a full installation is often the only way to:
● Avoid overloading your system
● Meet compliance requirements
● Achieve maximum efficiency and performance
That’s why we don’t guess.
We carry out a full site assessment to determine whether a retrofit or full upgrade is the right long-term decision, and show you the cost and performance difference between both.
This is where most cheaper installations fail. We’ve seen poor planning and wrong installation cause serious issues such as:
● Electrical systems are overloaded due to no capacity assessment
● Incorrect or undersized cabling
● Missing or inadequate circuit protection
● Unsafe earthing setups
● Poor charger positioning and cable routing
These aren’t just electrical issues. There are safety risks that can lead to more expenses. As experienced EV charger installers in Manchester, we always begin each project with a proper assessment. There’s no shortcut around that.
We keep the process simple, but thorough. Here’s how it typically goes;
● Consultation & Site Survey: Full electrical load and infrastructure assessment
● Design & Recommendation: Clear proposal based on your usage, capacity, and future needs
● Installation: NICEIC-compliant installation by qualified electricians
● Testing & Certification: Full system testing and documentation
● Ongoing Support: Maintenance and future upgrade support
This way, there’s clarity at each step of the process.
EV charging isn’t a standalone system. It needs to work with your wider electrical setup. We can support with:
● Electrical inspection & testing
● Reactive maintenance
● LED and energy-efficient installations & upgrades
● Emergency lighting and compliance
This joined-up approach reduces risk and avoids conflicts across your system.
We install EV chargers across:
● Manchester city centre
● Greater Manchester
● Cheshire and surrounding areas
● The wider Northwest
Being local means faster response times and better long-term support.
Most residential installs range from £500–£2,000+. Commercial projects vary depending on scale and infrastructure. A site survey is the only way to get an accurate figure.
Simple installs can be completed in a day or less. More complex systems may take longer, depending on the upgrades required.
Technically, yes, but without proper EV training and NICEIC certification, critical steps are often missed. That’s where most issues come from.
Unlock unmatched precision and reliability with services from Addison Electrical, where cutting-edge expertise meets unwavering commitment to safety and customer satisfaction.
EV charging is becoming standard. The difference is whether it’s installed properly or becomes a problem later. We’ll assess your setup, design the right solution, and install it to full compliance.
