Ohme home charger installation in Newport
Ohme Home Pro & ePod installation in Newport. Smart tariff ready (Octopus Intelligent Go), fixed price, full BS 7671 certification.
We take a steady number of brand-specific enquiries from Newport each month, and the pattern is fairly consistent. Local housing here is largely Victorian terraces around Maindee and Pill, and that shapes both the likely findings and the realistic scope. That is checked with instruments, not by eye. This is routine work carried out weekly across NP10–NP20, so the process is settled: check octopus Intelligent Go pre-configured on the day, record it, quote it, complete it, certify it. That detail is what a proper survey is for. There is a short version and a long version of brand-specific. The short version: test it, then decide.

What's different about Newport
Where it applies: newport's mix of Maindee/Pill terraces with rewireable boards and modern Glan Llyn new-builds means quotes vary sharply by postcode — a survey almost always changes the number, so the earthing arrangement gets verified at the same time the Ohme goes in.
The ePod (untethered) is neater on terraces around NP10–NP20; the Home Pro (tethered) is faster day-to-day on driveways with a single car. It is part of the standard scope.

Common questions
Can I use my own materials?
If they are suitable and certified, yes. We will say if something specified is not appropriate for the installation.
Can the work be staged?
Often, yes. Where the findings allow it we prioritise what affects safety and leave the rest to be planned.
What if I disagree with a finding?
You are welcome to get a second opinion. The readings are on the certificate so anyone can repeat them.
Will you need to lift floors?
Only if the findings require it, and only with your agreement. We use existing access wherever it exists.
Do you cover Newport for brand-specific?
In our experience locally, yes — Newport and the surrounding NP10–NP20 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Cwmbran and Caerleon, and Newport City Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it.
What paperwork do I get?
The certification appropriate to the work, listing the circuits tested and the readings recorded, not a receipt with a tick on it.
If a survey is the sensible first step, we will say so and price it separately so you are not paying twice. We cover Newport and the NP10–NP20 postcodes, including Cwmbran, for brand-specific.
