Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly is an integrated smart home system?
They are the heavy-duty main cables that carry electricity from your ESB meter box outside into your consumer unit (fuseboard) inside.
2. Why would I need to upgrade them?
Older houses often have 10mm or 16mm cables. Modern high-demand appliances (like EV chargers) require thicker 25mm cables to prevent them from melting or catching fire under continuous heavy load.
3. Who is responsible for these cables?
The homeowner is legally responsible for the meter tails connecting the meter to the indoor fuseboard.
4. Can I install an EV charger without upgrading them?
Often, no. A certified installer cannot sign off on an EV charger or heat pump if the existing meter tails are undersized.
5. How long does the upgrade take?
It is usually a very straightforward process that our engineers can complete in just a few hours.
