Three phase installation in South Croydon
- 01
What three phase power is
Most homes have a single phase supply. A three phase supply has three live conductors, which lets you run more power without overloading any one of them. It's common in commercial buildings and is increasingly used for larger heat pumps and rapid EV chargers.

Who needs a three phase supply
Workshops with heavy machinery, commercial kitchens, larger offices and some homes with several high-power appliances can benefit. If your main fuse is close to its limit, or you're planning big new loads, three phase can be the cleaner long-term answer.

Getting the supply connected
The new supply itself is provided by the network operator, which in Croydon is UK Power Networks. You apply to them for the connection, and there may be a cost and a wait. We advise on what to request and install everything from the meter onwards.
What to expect from a three phase installation
We start by working out your current and planned loads, and whether three phase is the right answer. If you need a new supply, we help you understand what to ask the network operator for. Once the supply is confirmed, we design the distribution board and circuits around your equipment.
On site, we install the three phase board, the circuits and any isolators your machines need, balancing the loads across the phases. Everything is tested before it's switched on, and you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate and circuit charts.

Three phase installation questions
Can I get three phase power at my home in South Croydon?
Often yes, but it depends on what the network operator has nearby. You apply to UK Power Networks, who will tell you whether it's possible, what it costs and how long it takes. We can help you work out whether you really need it first.
Do I need three phase for an EV charger in Croydon?
Not usually. Most home chargers run on a single phase supply. Three phase only becomes worth it for faster chargers, several chargers at once or a home that already has heavy loads like a large heat pump. We check your supply during the survey.
How long does a three phase installation take?
Our part of the work, fitting the board and circuits, usually takes one to a few days depending on the size of the job. The bigger wait is often the network operator's connection, which can take weeks, so it's worth applying early.
Can my existing single phase equipment run on three phase?
Yes. A three phase board can supply ordinary single phase circuits as well, so sockets, lighting and everyday appliances carry on as normal. We spread those circuits across the phases to keep the load balanced, while three phase machines get their own dedicated supplies.
