Altrincham's shift towards EV ownership means a growing number of consumer unit assessments ahead of a charger install, particularly on older boards near the town centre that predate the extra load an EV charger puts on a supply. Garden offices, common across WA14/WA15 as home-working has taken hold, need their own properly certified circuit run from the house rather than an extension lead trailed across the garden — a shortcut we see fail more often than not. We never suggest DIY work behind the consumer unit here; assessing supply capacity for a new load is a job for a qualified electrician, not a guide.

An EV charger draws a sustained load that plenty of older consumer units simply weren't built for, so the first job is always assessing supply capacity, not fitting the charger itself. We see this most on Altrincham's town-centre properties with boards that predate the area's shift to home charging. Garden offices bring a similar conversation — a dedicated, RCD-protected circuit properly certified from the house, rather than an extension lead that trips or degrades outdoors over a Manchester winter.
