The electrical industry is changing rapidly. From electric vehicle charging and battery storage to solar PV and smart energy management, demand for renewable technologies continues to grow as the government push for their ‘Net Zero’ strategy, reinforced through budgets and pushing electrification across different environments. With this, homeowners and businesses are also looking for more sustainable and cost-effective ways to power their properties and make the shift to electric mobility as the future of transport. Yet, despite the opportunities, many electrical contractors are still undecided about whether to expand into these areas. At 7 Core Electrical, conversations with our customers suggest that on average, only around 40-45% of contractors currently offer EV charging installations and renewable technologies. While every business is different, it raises an interesting question: Is now the right time to diversify into EV charging and renewable technologies? Why More Contractors Should be Considering EV Charging and Renewables An electrician’s role is changing fast, and while core electrical competence will always be essential, it’s evident that electricians who don’t add new technologies to their skill set risk being left behind. Especially in 2026, renewable technologies are no longer viewed as specialist installations. They’re becoming an increasingly common part of modern electrical projects. Electricians who will thrive over the next few years will be the ones who are prepared to diversify their skills to meet the growing opportunities within the sector. There are several types of EV jobs which spans distinct categories of work, each with different technical requirements and commercial characteristics: Residential smart charging: high-volume, repeatable installations that form the bulk of day-to-day work for many electrical contractors Workplace and fleet electrification: higher-value, multi-unit projects as employers respond to staff demand and fleet transition targets Rapid and Ultra-rapid charging: specialist installations requiring advanced skills typically linked to higher service value Installers who can operate confidently across more than one of these segments are best placed to capture the broadest share of available work, command higher rates, and build longer-term relationships with customers who increasingly want a single, trusted electrical specialist.

Like any new service, moving into EV charging or renewables can feel like a daunting step. According to an electrician’s forum, there are several concerns when it comes to becoming an EV charger installer, including the risk of inheriting pre-existing faults. When an electrician installs a new dedicated circuit for an EV charger, they must sign off the safety of the entire system. If the existing property has improper grounding or an outdated main switch, the installer legally cannot proceed without fixing those elements first. This frequently causes friction with homeowners who expect a cheap, fast plug-and-play installation, leaving the electrician caught between strict regulatory liability and an unhappy customer. Other common concerns include: Investing in additional training and qualifications. Keeping up with changing regulations and technologies. Choosing the right products from an increasingly competitive market. Uncertainty around customer demand. Finding the time for training while running a busy business. These are all valid considerations. However, as the market continues to evolve, it’s imperative for electricians that want to stay ahead of the curve and remain competitive to consider adding this to offerings. Many manufacturers, wholesalers and training providers are now making it easier than ever for contractors to get started. While the demand for EV charging continues to grow, many contractors are still hesitant to take the first step. According to our supplier partner Rolec, the challenge isn’t a lack of opportunity, it’s a lack of confidence. “One of the biggest barriers we believe that prevent electricians to pursue EV changing is confidence, not opportunity. Many electricians recognise the opportunity but are unsure where to start, particularly as the technology continues to evolve. There is a perception that EV charging requires specialist knowledge or that projects are complicated. While there are additional considerations compared with traditional electrical installations, the fundamentals remain familiar to experienced electrical professionals.” Rolec is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of EV charging solutions, offering a comprehensive portfolio of AC fast and DC rapid charging solutions designed for domestic, commercial and public charging applications. To help bridge that gap, Rolec provide dedicated installer training through technical guidance, access to experienced specialists and free CPD-accredited courses. The aim is to give contractors the knowledge and confidence needed to expand into the EV charging market and deliver reliable, future-ready solutions. Additionally, Rolec’s EV charging technology has evolved significantly ensuring their products are practical for contractors to fit and maintain on site whilst providing end users with smart functionality, connectivity, and solutions that integrate with their wider energy usage. “At Rolec, as we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, we remain focused on our product roadmap, continued innovation, and supporting the contractors and partners who are helping shape the future of EV infrastructure.” Where Strong Opportunities Lies For electricians, the opportunity in renewables is not limited to one type of installation. EV charging may be one of the most visible areas of growth, but it sits within a much wider shift towards electrification, smarter energy use and low-carbon technology across homes, workplaces and public buildings. This shift is being driven by a combination of customer demand, government policy and long-term changes in how properties are powered. Homeowners are looking for ways to reduce energy costs and make better use of renewable energy, while businesses are investing in charging infrastructure, energy monitoring and more efficient building systems. One clear example we see with this is the ‘Future Homes Standard’ where new homes in England are all required to include EV charge points, embedding EV infrastructure as standard electrical work rather than a niche add-on. Renewable and low-carbon technologies remain a major growth area too. Solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, and heat pumps all rely on strong electrical competence creating new opportunities for contractors who are ready to diversify. Government-backed schemes, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme give eligible businesses up to 75% of the total purchase and installation costs of electric vehicle (EV) charge points. Smart homes and building automation are also moving into the mainstream, and customers increasingly expect smart controls, energy monitoring, and connected devices as standard. This requires not just installation skills, but confidence in configuration and commissioning, as well as the ability to explain systems clearly to end users. Finally, maintenance, inspection, and testing remain the backbone of the industry. As the EV and low-carbon technology market matures, so does the regulatory and technical framework around it. Installers who can demonstrate rigorous compliance and testing practice are better positioned to win repeat and higher-value EV and renewable installation work. More Than Just EV Chargers Today’s renewable installations aren’t just about EV charging; it often involves multiple technologies working together. For example, a homeowner may choose to install: An EV charger. Solar panels. Battery storage. Smart energy management systems. Together, these solutions can help maximise self-generated electricity, improve energy efficiency and reduce reliance on the grid. Businesses are also looking to reduce their reliance on the grid and take greater control of their energy usage. Technologies such as solar PV and battery storage are becoming increasingly important. For electrical contractors, understanding how these systems work together presents an opportunity to offer customers more complete, future-ready solutions. This is a trend that manufacturers are seeing first-hand. We spoke with supplier partners, SolaX Power, a global leader in photovoltaic (PV) energy storage solutions with more than 700,000 residential energy storage systems deployed across over 80 countries, to gain their perspective on where the industry is heading. “The EV charging and renewable technologies market will continue to grow over the next three to five years, it’s as simple as that. Everything is becoming battery powered, from everyday household items to electric vehicles, and that shift is driving greater demand for smarter energy solutions across the UK and Ireland. While EV charging continues to grow, battery storage is just as important and shouldn’t be overlooked. We’re seeing increasing demand from both residential and commercial customers who want to become more energy independent and make better use of renewable energy. It’s important for electricians and contractors to stay ahead of the game and understand how these technologies work together. Electricians and contractors who are looking to expand their services and become a Solax Approved Installer by visiting our free in-person training held at our bespoke training facility in Atherstone. We also provide training around the country with our Sales and Technical team.” Battery storage is becoming an increasingly valuable addition to renewable installations, allowing customers to store excess energy generated by solar panels for use later in the day or during periods of peak electricity prices. As demand for integrated energy solutions continues to grow, contractors who understand the wider renewable ecosystem will be well placed to support customers both now and in the future. Thinking about taking the next steps? It is evident that electricians who invest in their skills now will no doubt be better placed to shape their own futures, rather than simply reacting to change. For contractors who are considering expanding into EV charging or renewable technologies, there are plenty of avenues where contractors can get started. Many contractors begin with smaller domestic installations before gradually expanding into commercial projects, battery storage or integrated renewable systems. The key is to: Invest in recognised, trusted training – ideally with a manufacturer or training body. Work with trusted manufacturers. Stay informed about industry developments. Build relationships with suppliers who can support you as your business grows. Like any area of the electrical industry, confidence comes with experience.

Condensation is one of those problems that gets written off too easily. It is still often dismissed as “just one of those things” — something that happens in winter, in older homes, or in properties where people dry clothes indoors. But in reality, condensation is usually far more predictable than that. When it keeps returning, it is often a sign that the ventilation strategy is not doing what it needs to do. That matters for everyone involved. For homeowners and tenants, it means steamed-up windows, damp patches and mould that keeps reappearing. For landlords and housing providers, it can mean repeat complaints, maintenance costs and growing pressure to show that properties are being managed properly. And for electricians and contractors, it is a reminder that fitting “the usual fan” or simply choosing the cheapest option is not always the same as solving the problem. As homes become more airtight and ventilation standards continue to evolve, fan choice matters more than ever. It is no longer just about fitting a fan that works on paper, it is about choosing a solution that is right for the property, the way it is used, and the problem it needs to solve. To explore that in more detail, we’ve collaborated with National Ventilation for their expert insight into why condensation keeps returning, why fan choice matters, and why longer-term solutions deserve more attention than quick fixes. Why condensation keeps coming back Condensation happens when warm, moisture-heavy air hits colder surfaces. In homes, that moisture is created every day through perfectly normal activities like showering, cooking, washing, drying clothes indoors and simply living in the space. The issue is not that moisture exists, it always will. The issue is what happens to that moisture afterwards. National Ventilation highlighted that one of the biggest changes across the industry has been just how much more airtight homes have become over the years. While improved insulation and energy efficiency are positive in many ways, they also mean moisture can become trapped indoors if ventilation is not designed properly. Over time, that can lead to recurring condensation, mould growth, damage to finishes and décor, and sometimes wider health concerns too. As they put it, moisture from showers, cooking and drying clothes has nowhere to go unless ventilation is consistently removing it. If the fan only runs occasionally, is not extracting enough air, or has been installed poorly, condensation is far more likely to return. Why a quick fix is not always a proper fix One of the main reasons condensation keeps returning is that the original response often only deals with the symptom, not the cause. That can look like: repainting over mould patches wiping down windows every morning replacing a fan like-for-like without questioning whether it was the right type in the first place relying on people to open windows when the issue is clearly ongoing National Ventilation pointed out that a quick fix is often just replacing the existing fan and hoping for the best. Sometimes that improves things in the short term, but if the property has an ongoing moisture issue, it often will not fully solve the problem. A longer-term solution, on the other hand, looks at the bigger picture: how much moisture is being generated in the property how airtight the building is whether clothes are regularly dried indoors whether there is enough background airflow whether the fan is actually running long enough to deal with humidity properly The difference is consistency. Effective ventilation should help control humidity throughout the day, not just remove steam for a few minutes after a shower. Why the right ventilation matters This is where fan choice becomes much more important than many people think. In practice, ventilation products are still too often chosen based on habit, price or what is usually fitted, rather than the actual problem that needs solving. But a family bathroom, a heavily used en-suite, a utility room, a rental flat and a modern airtight new-build do not all place the same demands on ventilation. A more useful question is not just: What fan fits here? It is: What is this fan actually being asked to solve? That shift in thinking matters because there is a real duty of care in recommending something that is suitable for the property and the people living in it — not simply the cheapest or most familiar option. National Ventilation made this point clearly: a lot of contractors understandably fit what they know, what they have always used, or what is quickest to source. But ventilation requirements have changed significantly in recent years. Properties are more airtight, occupancy levels are often higher, and issues around condensation and mould are under far more scrutiny than they used to be. What works perfectly well in one property may completely underperform in another. Taking a little extra time to assess the property properly and choose the right solution first time can save far more time and money later by reducing repeat callouts and ongoing complaints. Why this is becoming even more important in housing This matters even more as housing standards tighten. Ventilation is no longer just about comfort, it is increasingly tied to wider expectations around health, building performance and how homes are managed. In social housing particularly, damp and mould are under much greater scrutiny than they once were, and there is growing pressure to make sure underlying problems are actually being addressed. Under Awaab’s Law, social landlords in England must deal with emergency hazards and significant damp and mould hazards within set timescales. Government guidance also makes clear that any work to improve ventilation must be carried out properly and must not create other safety issues, including damage to fire compartmentation. That means ventilation work now sits within a much wider housing conversation. It is not simply a case of fitting a fan and moving on. There is increasing expectation that problems such as condensation, poor airflow and recurring mould are assessed properly, with the right level of thought given to suitability, safety and long-term performance. For contractors, that raises the importance of choosing solutions that are right for the property rather than just ticking a box. Why “the usual fan” is not always the right answer There is a reason repeat condensation complaints often come back to fan choice. In some properties, especially where moisture is being generated daily and consistently, a standard intermittent setup may not manage background moisture effectively enough over time. As National Ventilation explained, many homes still rely on intermittent extract fans, the kind that switch on with the light or a pull cord. While familiar, these do not always go far enough in preventing ongoing condensation and mould issues. If the system only reacts in short bursts, but the property struggles with gradual moisture build-up throughout the day, the result can still be recurring condensation and repeat complaints. National Ventilation also pointed out that the fan itself is not always the only issue. In some cases, the product is capable of doing the job, but poor ducting design, excessively long duct runs, incorrect commissioning or blocked airflow reduce its performance significantly. Installation quality is just as important as product selection when it comes to getting the right result. When a continuous extract solution may be worth considering This is where installers may need to take a step back and consider whether a different type of ventilation strategy is more appropriate. According to National Ventilation, a continuous extract solution such as dMEV is worth considering where condensation is a constant or recurring issue rather than an occasional one. They highlighted that this approach can work particularly well in: flats and apartments newer airtight homes social housing properties with repeat mould complaints homes where washing is regularly dried indoors busy family homes generating higher moisture levels properties where intermittent fans are rarely used properly or switched off altogether One of the biggest advantages of dMEV is that it provides continuous low-level ventilation in the background, helping maintain more stable humidity levels throughout the day. That can make a significant difference in properties where moisture builds gradually over time rather than only in short bursts. We’re also seeing a wider industry shift towards solutions that support more consistent airflow and better overall indoor air quality, particularly in properties where condensation issues keep coming back. Featured product: National Ventilation Monsoon dMEV National Ventilation’s Monsoon dMEV range is designed for continuous mechanical extract ventilation, with features including low-noise operation, boost control options, IPX5 suitability and stated compliance with UK Building Regulations Part F & L. That does not mean every property automatically needs dMEV. But it does mean that if condensation is a repeat issue, replacing an intermittent fan with the same type again may not always be the best long-term answer. What contractors should be asking before choosing a fan Before selecting a ventilation product, it is worth asking a few basic questions: What room is this for? How often is it used? Is condensation already a repeat issue here? Is the property relatively airtight? Is this owner-occupied, rented or social housing? Is the goal simply to replace a failed fan, or to actually stop a recurring problem? Would a more consistent extraction strategy make more sense here? Those questions help move the decision away from habit and towards suitability. Because ultimately, the right fan for the job depends on more than the hole size or the price point. It depends on the property, the pattern of moisture being created and the outcome the customer actually needs. Common mistakes that lead to repeat problems National Ventilation also shared some of the most common issues they continue to see where condensation problems persist: replacing like-for-like without understanding why the original fan failed to solve the issue fans not delivering enough airflow for the room size poor ducting design restricting performance excessively long duct runs creating resistance fans being too noisy, leading occupants to switch them off incorrect installation or commissioning lack of consideration for modern airtight building standards trying to solve a whole-property moisture issue by only ventilating one room assuming intermittent fans alone will solve long-term condensation problems That is why a more considered ventilation approach is becoming increasingly important across both new-build and retrofit projects. What this means for the wider public For homeowners, tenants and landlords reading this, the main point is simple: repeat condensation is not always something you just have to put up with. If the same room keeps steaming up, mould keeps returning, or the property never seems to dry out properly, there is a good chance the problem is not simply a lack of ventilation, it may be that the current setup is not right for the space. Final thoughts Condensation is often predictable, which means it can often be prevented more effectively too. As homes become more airtight and housing expectations continue to rise, the conversation needs to move beyond simply fitting a fan and hoping for the best. For contractors, that means looking more closely at suitability, not just familiarity or upfront cost. And for customers, it means understanding that a recurring problem may need a better long-term solution, not just another quick fix. The right ventilation matters because the right solution does more than move air — it helps stop the same problem from coming back again.

We’ve all felt the effects of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East in one way or another, whether that’s higher fuel prices, disrupted travel, or the general rise in day-to-day costs. Over the last few weeks, there’s also been more discussion across our industry about what this could mean for pricing, raw materials, product availability and lead times. The wider picture points to growing pressure on energy, shipping and key materials, all of which can have a knock-on effect on the supply chain over time. We’re not sharing this to worry anyone. This is simply a practical heads-up so our customers can plan ahead more confidently and avoid any unnecessary surprises down the line. Below, we’ve broken it down simply: what’s happening what it could mean for our industry what it could mean for customers and how we can support you moving forward What’s happening? At the moment, the biggest pressures being discussed across the industry are around transport, freight, fuel and raw materials. Transport and freight are under pressure One of the biggest concerns is the movement of goods. Current concerns include: Gulf ports pausing operations voyages through the Strait of Hormuz being put on hold transport from the EU increasing due to fuel surcharges container freight rates reacting to the same pressure UK road haulage surcharges increasing alongside higher fuel costs air cargo networks seeing more immediate disruption reduced cargo capacity and longer routes, as shipments are not always taking the shortest or quickest path Ocean Freight: This may not come to a surprise as we have seen it all over the news but currently the Gulf ports have paused operations and routes through the Strait of Hormuz (20% global oil transits) have been disrupted/on hold. Major shipping lines have suspended services and new bookings in parts of the Middle East. Reuters has reported that freight rates may ease if conditions improve, but any recovery is expected to be gradual rather than immediate. Jet fuel: One of the more immediate watchpoints is air freight, where jet fuel prices have effectively doubled and capacity is under pressure. That means anything relying more heavily on air cargo could become more expensive or less predictable more quickly than sea freight. Fuel costs are filtering through: As highlighted in a recent industry discussion, UK road haulage is already feeling the effect of rising fuel costs, with surcharges increasing around: .25p on petrol .48p on diesel That matters because even when products themselves are available, the cost of moving them through the supply chain starts to rise, whether that’s import, transport from Europe, distribution across the UK, or local delivery. Raw material pressures were already there, and this adds more Raw material pressure is not entirely new. Some issues were already developing before the latest conflict, particularly around copper. But there are now additional material concerns being talked about, including: Silver, which has increased by 139% in the last 12 months and is widely used in electrical switches, contacts and circuit protection components Brass and sheet metal, which affect products such as enclosures A wider group of oil-derived materials, which sit behind many everyday electrical products That includes: PVC insulation for cables plastic conduit and trunking electrical enclosures wiring accessories Higher energy prices also influence manufacturing costs more broadly, particularly for metal-based products and components. What Could This Mean for Our Industry? The most important thing to say is that this does not currently look like a major immediate supply crisis across the board. The bigger issue is that the market could become a bit more volatile. In practical terms, that may mean: more pressure on transport costs more movement in freight pricing longer lead times on selected lines supplier price increases or surcharges with less notice more pressure on categories using metals, plastics and electronic components For our industry, the product areas most likely to be sensitive are those that rely on: metals plastics and insulation sheet material component-heavy manufacturing imported freight routes That could potentially affect categories such as: cables conduit and trunking enclosures wiring accessories switches and contacts circuit protection products other component-led electrical items Again, that doesn’t mean all of these products will suddenly rise or become difficult to get. It just means these are the areas where pressure is more likely to build if current conditions continue. What Does This Mean for Customers? For customers, the main message is not “rush out and buy now.” It’s more a case of: if you’ve got bigger jobs, more specialist products, or anything with tighter timings, it may be worth planning a little earlier than usual. The likely short-term effects, if pressure continues, are more likely to be things like: pricing moving more often than usual less notice before increases selected items becoming a little less predictable on lead time more variation across categories depending on material and freight exposure In other words, this is more about setting expectations than sounding the alarm. The market may remain manageable, but it may also become a little less forgiving of last-minute assumptions. What Should Customers Keep an Eye On? A few sensible things to be aware of over the coming months: larger or project-based orders where timings are tight products that depend heavily on metal or plastic content imported lines or component-heavy items categories such as cables, enclosures, accessories and circuit protection anything where pricing certainty is important before quoting or ordering If you’ve got work coming up, especially larger jobs or anything more time-sensitive, it may be worth checking: lead times stock positions current pricing How We Can Help The aim is simply to help customers stay informed and plan ahead where needed. Good communication becomes especially important in periods like this, because it helps everyone in the supply chain make better decisions and manage expectations more effectively. As things stand, stock levels are generally still healthy, and the wider industry view remains manageable. But if transport costs, surcharges or raw material pressures begin to feed through more visibly, we’d rather customers are aware of that early. If you’ve got projects coming up and want to sense-check availability, lead times, pricing or alternatives, speak to your local 7 Core branch by getting in touch with us using our Contact Form. We’ll always do our best to keep you informed and help you plan ahead with confidence. Final Thoughts At the moment, the situation remains manageable, and that’s important to stress. But with transport disruption, fuel surcharges and raw material pressure all sitting in the background, it makes sense to stay alert. This is not about expecting the worst. It’s simply about understanding that the market may become a little more changeable over the coming months. A bit more planning now could help avoid a few more headaches later.
