How It Works
From your first click to your first charge, we've made home EV charging simple. Here's what to expect at every step.
Submit Your Details
Tell us about your property with a quick photo assessment. We'll need photos of your fuseboard, ESB meter, electricity bill, earthing, a gas meter overview and separate gas/water bonding photos where safely accessible, plus a short walkthrough video. Tell us if you have no gas or cannot find a connection.
- Take photos of your fuseboard (consumer unit)
- Photograph your ESB meter
- Photograph your electricity bill
- Show any visible earth rod/earthing details
- Gas meter: take a separate overview of the meter and surrounding pipework, if safely accessible
- Gas bonding: look underneath the gas boiler and photograph the green/yellow cable and metal pipe clamp (or tell us there's no gas)
- Water bonding: look on the pipes beside the immersion tank in your hot press and photograph the green/yellow cable and metal clamp
- Record a short walkthrough video of the proposed cable route
We Review Your Photos & Confirm Standard Installation
We review your photos to check whether your home fits Standard Installation pricing or needs an electrician visit. Any extra work is explained and priced before you pay.
- Six checks: fuseboard, meter, earthing/bonding, parking, cable route, bill
- If everything is clear from your photos, your job is declared Standard
- If we can't confirm from photos, an electrician visits and quotes any extras transparently
- Either way, you see the final price before you pay
SEAI Approval, Then Pay and Arrange
Once your property is approved, we apply for your SEAI grant on your behalf. Approval timing is set by SEAI. Once the grant is approved, you pay for your installation order. You pay the confirmed price for your selected charger and agreed installation scope. Packages start from €1,599 upfront, from €1,299 after an approved €300 grant. We then arrange a date with you and confirm the installer.
- We apply for your SEAI grant before you pay anything
- Tell us your date preferences; a slot is confirmed separately
- Pay your confirmed package price securely online
- Receive €300 back from SEAI after approval of your completed claim
- We handle all grant paperwork for you
Professional Installation & Ongoing Support
Our Safe Electric certified electricians install your charger, typically in 2-4 hours. After install we're still here — we file your SEAI declaration, handle any warranty claims, and answer any questions long after the job is done.
- Safe Electric certified electricians
- Clean, professional installation
- All electrical work and materials included
- Start charging your EV immediately
- We help complete your claim; SEAI pays the €300 grant after approving the required documents
- 2-year workmanship warranty plus a 3- to 5-year manufacturer warranty, depending on the charger
- Ongoing customer support for any questions after install
Before Your Installation
To ensure a smooth installation, here's what you can prepare:
- Clear access to your fuseboard
- Ensure parking area is accessible
- Have your MPRN number ready (from your electricity bill)
- Know your Eircode
- Decide on charger mounting location
Prefer to pay monthly?
Spread the cost of your installation over monthly instalments with Humm finance, subject to approval.
Finance is provided by Humm and is subject to approval. Terms, fees and credit checks apply.
