Installing a charging station such as a Wallbox requires specific knowledge and experience in the field of electricity and safety regulations. Here are a few reasons why it is wise to hire a professional electrician for the installation of a Wallbox:
Safety: Electricity can be dangerous if not handled properly. A professional electrician has the knowledge and experience to carry out the installation safely, taking into account all relevant safety regulations. This minimizes the risk of electrical problems, such as short circuits, overheating, or fire.
Technical expertise: A certified electrician is knowledgeable about the electrical systems in your home and can assess whether your electrical system is suitable for the installation of a Wallbox. They can also make necessary modifications to the electrical installation, such as upgrading the connection or installing additional wiring if needed.
Warranty maintenance: Some manufacturers require that the installation of a Wallbox be carried out by a certified installer to maintain the warranty.
Approval and certification: In some cases, the installation of a Wallbox may require approval from the grid operator and/or local authorities. A professional electrician is aware of the current regulations and can assist you in obtaining the necessary approvals and certifications.
Expert advice: A certified electrician can also advise you on the proper placement of the Wallbox, taking into account factors such as available space, the distance to the electrical grid, and the most efficient cabling options.
Even though installing a Wallbox yourself may seem appealing to save costs, it carries risks, especially in terms of safety and regulatory compliance. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a professional electrician and leave the installation to them. They will ensure that the Wallbox is installed safely and correctly, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to enjoy trouble-free charging of your electric vehicle.
