DG Charging Terms & Conditions

1. Online Installation Quote – Terms and Conditions

These terms apply specifically to the instant price provided through our online quote tool:

Conditional Pricing

  • The price you receive is an estimate based on the details you provide.
  • The quote is only valid if all information submitted is accurate and complete.
  • If the installation conditions differ upon site visit or during works (e.g., longer cable runs, non-standard mounting, inaccessible meter, inadequate earthing, etc.), the final cost may be adjusted accordingly.

Site Survey Requirement

  • All online quotes are subject to final confirmation following either:
    • A remote survey (photos and details you submit)
    • Or a physical site survey if required.

Unforeseen Issues

  • DG Charging reserves the right to amend pricing due to unforeseen issues that only become apparent at or after installation begins, such as:
    • Ground conditions, building fabric challenges
    • Faulty or unsafe consumer units
    • Changes to regulations or compliance requirements

DNO Approval

  • Some EV charger installations require approval from your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO).
  • This approval process is outside of DG Charging’s control and may delay or prevent your installation.
  • Where DNO approval is required, the quote remains provisional until written confirmation is received from the DNO.
