A home charge point is a small box on a wall, but it adds one of the largest loads your electricity supply will ever carry. Getting it right means a new circuit, correct earthing, a check of your main fuse and a charger that meets the smart charging rules. This page explains what the installer looks at, which permissions apply and what grants remain. When you send a request, exactly one installer in your area can take it.
- Exactly one business. Your request is handed out once. After that, no other business sees it.
- You know who will be in touch. Before the business receives your contact details, we send you its name, address and phone number.
- Withdraw at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time – using the link in our email.
What a charger quote should cover
- the charger model and power rating, and confirmation that it meets the smart charge point regulations
- the cable route, cable size and any drilling, trenching or surface-mounted trunking
- consumer unit work, earthing solution and any load management
- whether the network operator needs to be told or the supply upgraded
- setting up the app and default charging hours, and compatibility with your tariff
- for grant jobs, the OZEV authorisation and who handles the application
Charge points for businesses and blocks of flats
Workplace, fleet and communal installations raise different questions: several chargers sharing a limited supply, who pays for the electricity, access control, maintenance and, for landlords, updating the fire risk assessment. The residential landlord grant asks applicants to have arranged maintenance checks, decided how running costs are paid and updated the property's risk assessment before applying. It is worth asking for these points in writing whether or not you use a grant.
Make a requestIn Malta: permits, licences and the business behind the quote
Whether the installation needs a development permit from the Planning Authority depends on what is built and where; in apartment blocks, the rules of the condominium also apply. Ask before you commit, and let the business tell you which documents it needs from you.
Electrical installation work is carried out by licensed electricians; ask to see the licence and the certificate for the finished installation. Maltese businesses are registered with the Malta Business Registry, so ask for the company registration and VAT numbers, and check whether the quote includes VAT.

What happens to your request
You confirm your mobile number with a text code and your email address with a link. We then show the request to businesses in your area, without your name or contact details. Only one business can take it on; it pays Offrano for the request, and it costs you nothing.
Before that business sees your details, we email you its name, address and phone number. We check only that it is a registered business, for example through its Malta Business Registry entry or VAT number, not the quality of its work. We cannot promise that a business will respond; if nobody takes the request within 21 days, we withdraw it. Offrano is not a party to any contract for the work.
Frequently asked questions
Will installing a charger need a new electricity supply?
Sometimes. If your main fuse or the supply cable is too small for the extra load, the installer tells the network operator, which may upgrade it. Load management that reduces charging when the house is busy can avoid an upgrade in many homes.
How many installers receive my request?
One. The request is sold once and then removed, and we tell you who bought it before they see your details. If nobody takes it within 21 days, it is withdrawn.
How do I check a business in Malta?
Ask for its company registration number, which you can check with the Malta Business Registry, and its VAT number.

Can I withdraw my request?
Yes, through the link in any email from Offrano. If a business has already taken it on, we pass your withdrawal to it straight away.
What does the request cost me?
Nothing. The business that takes on your request pays Offrano for it. Whether you accept its quote is entirely up to you.
