Morphology

installation + charge

The meaning 'a fee for installing equipment' is directly and transparently composed from 'installation' (the act of putting something in place) + 'charge' (a fee). This noun+noun fee construction is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Installation charge comes from the simple idea that someone does the installation and asks for money, and the charge is that payment. Think of a worker who comes to put in a new oven and gives you a bill, so it means 'a fee for installing equipment or services'.
