How to install a charger at home According to Energisa, the equipment significantly increases the electrical load of the property and requires a prior technical analysis to verify whether the internal installation and the electrical network can safely support the new demand. According to the energy company, the preliminary assessment allows you to identify whether it will be necessary to make adjustments to the home's energy input or even to the region's electrical network before installing the equipment. It is recommended to use certified equipment and hire qualified professionals for installation. The measure reduces the risk of overload, heating, accidents and interruptions in the power supply. In addition to the technical analysis, the consumer must present the documentation required by the distributor, which may include specific forms and, depending on the power of the equipment, an electrical project. How to request the analysis The load declaration can be made: In person at Energisa service agencies; By phone 0800 721 3330; Via Gisa's WhatsApp, at (63) 99222-6664, using the human service option. After the order, the distributor performs the technical analysis and advises the consumer on the next steps for installing the charger. See more news from the region on g1 Tocantins.
