Lloyd Electrical Building and Maintenance Services

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to revolutionize the way we drive, ensuring your EV charger operates at peak performance is essential. An annual service for your EV charger is the most effective way to ensure it remains safe, efficient, and reliable for years to come.

Our EV Charger Maintenance Service, conducted by qualified electricians, provides comprehensive checks to help prevent future issues, ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your charging unit.

Why an EV Charger Annual Service is Important

Regular servicing of your EV charger helps maintain its efficiency and safety. Over time, chargers can experience wear and tear, or other potential issues that may not be obvious to the untrained eye. A professional service can catch these problems before they become major, expensive repairs.

Here's why an annual service is so important:

Safety: By regularly inspecting your charger, we can identify and resolve any potential electrical hazards early on, keeping you and your property safe.
Performance: An annual service ensures that your charger continues to work at optimal efficiency, delivering the best possible charging speed and power.
Lifespan: Catching small problems early helps toavoid costly repairs later, ultimately extending the life of your charger.

Why You Need Annual Maintenance and an EICR for Your EV Charger

Ensuring the safety and reliability of your EV charger is essential, whether it’s installed at home or as part of your business.

For businesses providing EV chargers for public or employee use, a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is not just recommended - it’s a legal requirement. This certificate confirms that your charging equipment complies with safety standards, protecting both your staff and customers and fulfilling your duty of care.

For homeowners, while an EICR for your EV charger may not be a legal obligation, it may be required as part of your building's insurance, as these units are considered fixed electrical equipment.

Whether you're a business or a homeowner, keeping your EV charger maintained and properly certified is vital for safety, insurance, and peace of mind.

What's Included in an EV Charger Annual Service?

A thorough EV charger service covers a range of essential checks to make sure everything is working smoothly:

Visual Inspection: We examine your charger for any signs of damage, wear and tear, or physical issues like cracked casings or frayed cables.
Various System Tests: This includes live loop tests, RCD tests and torque tests to ensure safety.
Electrical Connections & Voltage: We check all electrical connections to ensure proper voltage levels and detect any issues that could affect performance.
Charging Functionality & Speed Testing: We test the charger’s speed and functionality to ensure it meets manufacturer specifications.
Cleaning: We clean the exterior of the unit and the charging connector, ensuring there is no dirt, debris, or build-up that could affect performance.
Software Updates: We check for any available software updates that could improve your charger’s performance or fix known bugs.

When Is Additional Maintenance Necessary?

While annual servicing is generally sufficient for most EV chargers, there are instances when additional attention is required:

Visible Damage: If you notice any physical damage, such as a cracked casing or exposed cables, contact a professional immediately to avoid safety risks.
Charging Issues: If you experience irregular charging speeds, overheating, or error messages, it’s important to get the unit checked as these could indicate underlying problems.
Extreme Weather Conditions: If you live in an area with severe weather, additional inspections may be required to ensure your charger can withstand environmental stresses.
