EV Charger, Solar & Smart Tech installation in Falmouth
When the owners of this beautiful Victorian property in Falmouth needed a full electrical rewire, they turned to Wake Electrical for a professional and reliable service. As experienced electricians working in Falmouth and across Cornwall, we specialise in updating period properties with modern electrical systems while preserving their historic charm.
Project Overview
This ongoing project involves a complete rewire of a Victorian-era building in Falmouth. The work includes extensive modern upgrades while maintaining the property’s period aesthetic. Our team worked closely with Bernard from Koha Architects to plan and execute this project.
We are installing an EV charger, a solar power system with battery storage, and a smart-controlled sauna. Additionally, we have fitted electric underfloor heating in the bathrooms, constant running fans to minimise moisture build-up, and brass metal sockets and switches to complement the home’s historic design. Bedside pendant lighting with switch controls has also been integrated for convenience.
A new extension is currently underway, and we have developed an advanced electrical plan to seamlessly incorporate these upgrades while ensuring efficiency, safety, and style.
Challenges
Rewiring a historic property presents unique challenges. The existing wiring was outdated and required a complete overhaul to meet modern safety and energy efficiency standards. Additionally, integrating solar power, smart technology, and EV charging into a period property demanded careful planning to ensure functionality without disrupting the home’s character.
Outcome
As the project progresses, Wake Electrical is ensuring that the property benefits from a fully upgraded, energy-efficient electrical system. The addition of renewable energy solutions, smart home technology, and period-style fixtures will provide the client with a future-proofed, highly functional, and aesthetically cohesive home.
