Tethered charger
A fixed cable stays attached to the unit. It suits drivers who use the same connector each day and want to plug in without fetching a separate lead.
Best fit when convenience matters more than a cable-free wall.

Home EV charger installation, planned around your property
Unsure where a charger could go, or what your home can support? Carstairs Nexus Ltd. checks the electrical supply, parking position and cable route before recommending equipment. We then supply, install and commission a setup that fits your car and the way you charge.
Start with the property.
Serving homes across Bo'ness, Falkirk, Grangemouth and nearby Central Scotland.
Charger position and cable reach are planned around where you park, not picked from a catalogue alone.
Choose the right setup
Tethered or untethered: choosing the right unit
A smart car charger should fit your daily routine as well as your wall. We compare cable convenience, storage and control features before settling on a model.
Keep daily charging simple.
Untethered charger
A socketed unit lets you use the cable supplied with your car. It can suit households with more than one EV connector or anyone who prefers a tidier-looking wall.
Best fit when flexibility and a clean finish are priorities.Power and smart controls
Available power depends on the vehicle, household supply and installation design. Scheduling and load management can help make better use of the capacity you have.
We explain expected charging in practical terms for your car.Fixed cableReady to plug in; the cable remains attached to the wall unit.
Socketed unitBring your own lead; useful when cable flexibility matters.
Property-led planning
Homes we work with across Falkirk and the Forth Valley
Every installation starts with access, parking and the electrical layout. Tell us what your home is like when you book, and we can focus the survey on the right details.
There is no one-layout answer.
Driveways and off-street parking
We check the parking position, charger reach and a practical route back to the consumer unit. The lead should reach the car without crossing a busy walking route.
Discuss your drivewayTerraced properties
A terraced house EV charger needs careful thought about where the car parks and how a cable can reach it. We assess the route and installation position during the survey.
Tell us about your parkingConservation-area homes
Wall finish, visible cable runs and suitable fixing points all matter. We discuss a discreet position and flag any permissions or property restrictions that need checking.
Plan a discreet layoutMulti-car and smart-energy homes
Two cars, solar panels, a home battery or a heat pump can change the design brief. We consider how the equipment shares the available household supply.
Explain your setup

Control your charging
Smart controls, scheduling and off-peak charging
A smart car charger can schedule charging around an off-peak tariff, manage demand alongside other household equipment and report energy use through an app. The right features depend on your tariff and electrical setup.
Set a time that suits.
Tariff scheduling
Set charging windows that match the lower-rate hours on your electricity plan.
Load management
Selected chargers can adjust demand to help manage the home's available supply.
Solar-aware charging
We can discuss charger options for homes that generate or store their own electricity.
Session reporting
Depending on the unit, its app can show energy use and charging activity by session.
Planned to suit the building
Discreet cable routing and a tidy finish
We plan cable routes to follow existing building lines where practical. The survey also covers suitable fixings, protective conduit, weatherproofing and how entry points will be sealed.
Small details show.
Route considered before fitting
Following existing lines can reduce the visual impact of a cable run. We explain the practical options for your walls and parking position.
Finished with care
We consider housing colour and fixing points, protect the route where needed, seal entry points and remove installation packaging and offcuts.
