Project Overview

HF’s Green Energy Services Division completed a discreet domestic EV charger installation for a homeowner with a semi-detached sandstone property in November 2024. The client required minimal visual impact, concealed cabling, and no visible disruption to the sandstone façade or interior sightlines. HF delivered a tailored solution by drilling at a steep angle below the visible stone line, burying armoured cabling, and housing the Easee EV charger within a treated wooden fence post with rear cable entry. The charger was installed low to the ground to remain hidden from inside the home, while surge protection was added to ensure safety and reliability. The result was a regulation-compliant, visually seamless installation that balanced technical excellence with the client’s aesthetic requirements, earning high praise for HF’s attention to detail and craftsmanship.

EV Charging Install for Sandstone Property

Our Green Energy Services Division was approached by a homeowner looking to install an EV charger at their semi detached sandstone property. The client had very clear expectations: they wanted to avoid drilling into the sandstone exterior of their home, required the cabling to be as concealed as possible. They also requested that the charger setup remain discreet when viewed from inside the house.

Our team took great care to ensure that the client’s aesthetic and functional requirements were met without compromising the integrity of the installation. To preserve the sandstone façade, we strategically drilled at a steep angle, allowing the cable to exit below the visible stone line. The armoured cable was then carefully buried to an appropriate depth, providing both protection and concealment.

To further enhance the visual appeal, we used a treated wooden fence post to house the charging unit. The post was drilled from the rear, enabling the cable to enter the back of the unit so that the cabling remained hidden from view. The post was cemented securely into place and the surrounding stones were brushed back over the base to maintain a natural, seamless appearance. By positioning the installation low to the ground, we have ensured that the new EV charger install is not visible from inside the house, delivering on all aspects of the client’s request.

The EV Charger system itself was a Easee Charger unite that complies with all current regulations while coming with a user-friendly mobile app allowing the client to manage their charger effortlessly. We also fitted a surge protection device to shield the client’s EV from transient voltage spikes while charging, providing peace of mind.

Project Challenges: The clients installation preferences presented a challenge for our team to install this EV Charger but with our experienced team, we developed a tailored solution to meet their needs while maintaining high standards of safety and quality.

Installing EV chargers is a complex process requiring expertise, precision, and an in-depth understanding of electrical systems. We employ experienced and certified electricians who ensure every installation complies with the latest safety standards and delivers exceptional performance. From proper cable placement and surge protection to ensuring the charger is installed in a way that aligns with the client’s vision, our team brings a level of expertise that guarantees long-lasting results.

Unqualified or poorly executed installations can lead to serious issues, including malfunctioning chargers, property damage or safety hazards. By choosing HF, clients benefit from peace of mind knowing their investment is protected and their charger will perform reliably for years to come.
