How is my home assessed for an EV charger install?

Q. How is my home assessed for an EV charger install?

A. We'll carry out an initial survey to assess the type of install your property might need. All we need is access to your home and our team will gather all the necessary information.

The role of the survey is to ensure we’ve got all the information we need about your property and whether you’re likely to need any additional equipment or pre-approvals for any installation work that needs doing. Our goal is to make sure your installation goes as smoothly as possible so you’re up and running with your EV charger as quickly as possible.

This quick 30-40 minute visit will allow one of our experts to inspect your home electrics, plan new cabling routes and ask where you would like the charger installed. We'll also check your eligibility for government grants which could lower the cost even further.

We’ll be in touch after the survey with next steps and any other information you need to know, including if there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. We’ll then take care of everything else, the whole process from survey to being ready to install should take around 2 to 3 weeks.

Just book online and we'll have one of our qualified team arrange a survey visit.

Q. How do Air Source Heat Pumps work?

A. Air source heat pumps are a smart, green way to provide eco-friendly heating and hot water to our homes.

The easiest way to think about it is like a reverse fridge. Where a refrigerator pulls in air and removes heat, expelling warm air it doesn't want, a heat pump uses a refrigerant gas to absorb heat outside, then compresses it to become hot and transfers that heat indoors. This warms up water stored in a tank inside your home, which is then used to heat your radiators and your hot water.

They are generally 3-4 times more energy efficient than traditional fossil fuel systems, like gas boilers, and they run entirely on electricity, which makes them one of the greenest options around.

Q. How will I know if my property is suitable for an Air Source Heat Pump?

A. As every home is different, the best way to find out if your property is right for a heat pump, is for one of our experts to pay you a visit and do a survey.

They'll check important things like insulation levels, if you have space for the kit, and what sort of heating you have now. Every system is tailor fitted so a good survey is essential.

You can book a no-obligation appointment on our website and we'll send out one of our team to investigate whether a heat pump is the right fit for you.

At Plug Me In we take the stress out of the heat pump installation journey and do the legwork for you, so you can see if now is the time to make the switch to our green, cost-saving heat pumps.

Q. Are Heat Pumps Noisy?

A. If you're wondering whether an air source heat pump will disturb you or your neighbours, there's no need to worry.

The heat pumps we install are no louder than a quiet fridge. Our install teams will position the outdoor unit in a location that is most likely to further minimise any sound from the system. And the rest of the kit located inside, is virtually silent when running.

So you can keep your home warm without worrying about any disruptive noise for you, or your neighbours.
