Installing a charging station like a Wallbox requires specific knowledge and experience in electricity and safety regulations. Here are a few reasons why it is wise to engage a professional electrician for the installation of a Wallbox:

  1. Safety: Electricity can be dangerous if not handled properly. A professional electrician has the knowledge and experience to perform the installation safely, taking all relevant safety regulations into account. This minimizes the risk of electrical issues, such as short circuits, overheating, or fire.

  2. Technical expertise: A certified electrician is familiar with the electrical systems in your home and can assess whether your electrical system is suitable for installing a Wallbox. They can also make any necessary modifications to the electrical installation, such as upgrading the connection or installing additional wiring if needed.

  3. Warranty maintenance: Some manufacturers require the Wallbox to be installed by a certified installer to maintain the warranty.

  4. 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 applicable regulations and can assist you in obtaining the necessary approvals and certifications.

  5. 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 power network, and the most efficient wiring options.


While installing a Wallbox yourself may seem appealing to save costs, it involves risks, particularly regarding safety and compliance with regulations. 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 hassle-free charging of your electric vehicle.
