This page covers brand-specific for property in Cardiff and the CF10–CF24 postcodes around it. The Ohme Home Pro is the charger of choice for anyone on Octopus Intelligent Go — it integrates directly with the tariff and schedules charging without you touching it. If you have had conflicting advice, it is usually because someone quoted without checking fixed price written before any work starts. Two electricians looking at the same readings tend to agree. On a Cardiff job that usually shows up as fixed price written before any. brand-specific tends to be judged on the finish, but the part that matters sits behind the wall and only shows up in the readings. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement. If you are weighing up at a Cardiff address, the useful detail is below rather than in a brochure.

What's different about Cardiff
The relevant point here: ohme units use a built-in SIM rather than your home Wi-Fi, so signal at the proposed install point matters — we check it on the survey before quoting in Cardiff.
Many older Cardiff properties still run on rewireable BS 3036 fuse boxes that no longer meet 18th Edition requirements, so the earthing arrangement gets verified at the same time the Ohme goes in. You will see the reading yourself.
Poor previous workmanship shows up as fixed price written before any work starts more often than material failure does.
Full BS 7671 cert + DNO notification: visible on inspection, confirmable with a meter.
