I have found that the cost of quote is no guide to the quality of install. A bad installer can pad a quote to increase profit, whilst doing a poor job. Only by informing yourself and asking questions about what will be done, do you get an indication of what will be done for the quote. Comparing materials specified in each quote is also necessary.

Good Job!! If the holster holder didnt cover up the old Rolec holes then seeing that you collected brick dust when drilling new hold in a dust pan then you got put some silicone in the old exposed holes and then apply the collected brick dust to stick to the clear siliocne👍

[jimhartley]

Brilliant explanation on why you never skimp on electrical installs and a high quality finish, pleasure to watch 👍🤩

[martprice]

Yes, but what was wrong with it? Why was it not working? Everything you mentioned? There’s nothing to do with it not working

[iCry_]

I'm no EV specialist, nor engineer, but in all instances of data cabling and running power/data in server rooms cat5 (which I assume is the same cat5 you reference) is never to be run alongside power. We run time and data sensitive datacentres and not a simple EV charger, but the principle I think is the same. If I am wrong and the cable is not network cat5, shoot me!

Good ol’ eddy current making an appearance!!

[jakegriffiths]

A great aesthetic tip for ohme pro series is to install the holster for charging above the charger so customer can wrap cable around keeps it nice and neat

[TheWillowens]

I agree with you on everything in this video except one thing. I wouldnt use an SWA gland because it counts as an exposed conductive part. Because the PEN protection is now built into the charger itself you can still have an issue if the neutral is lost through to Earth despite the case of the charger being class 2. I use compression glands, tightened, with the armourings earthed at supply side but insulated within the charger.

I love the Henley block covering up the polarity sticker and the missing seals, the last guy must’ve been a quality spark, the ip breaches show it! At least u could pull the fuse guilt free 😜🤣😭

[connordines]

Absolutely shocking! Great work on the new charger though! I do occasionally install EV chargers don’t know how people are doing 2-3 day I easily spend most of day on some

[funnycatvideos]

Honestly how long Will all those plastic components last in In a sunny environment? Also with the wire It's like running an extension cord along your house, should have buried it in PVC. No matter what a person charges there has to be a better way to install this unit.

Good job. Eddies of course with a metal box on AC. So the prewired flex is to be terminated into an exturnal double pole isolator as the charger is classed as fixed equipment being over 3Kw hence the lenth.. This is just like an AC unit, oven, shower, induction hob.... We have to do this in the EU anyways.

I had the same charger ( ohme home pro ) installed recently by Octopus.
I was surprised to say the least when the van turned up and a young girl ( very earky 20's) got out. She stood about 5'2 ! she was lovely and did an absolutely brilliant job of installation . Explained everything to me.
I paid £975 inc installation cost.

Where’s the torque driver for connecting the consumer unit

[stesjmgtr]

The steel in a modern consumer unit is simply not thick enough for eddy currents to be an issue

[johnbiggs]

Unfortunately the price you pay has no bearing on the quality of the install. Cheap does not necessarily mean bad and expensive does not necessarily mean good. Go with a spark or company with great word of mouth reputation, and great "Trustpilot" etc feedback, , and of course ask them to itemise the details of the install. Then you have a chance of getting a decent job.

[olly]

A very enjoyable vlog and nice to see a professional install, safe and pleasing to the eyes. You did your nulling on the pivoted jaw of one of your clips by the way, you naughty man. 😜

[ashleybignell]

The added bonus of all that scrap. Nice install

[ashleybignell]

Just for Info. Page 8 of product manual/install instructions say you can shorten the supply cable providing you use ferrules. No need to worry about affecting warranty.

"Data Boy" here. You would put most of my colleagues to shame!
