If your home is over 30 years old and hasn't had a full rewire, it may be due. Warning signs include an old fuse box, frequent tripping, burning smells, or dated sockets and switches. We can assess your wiring and let you know what's safe and up to code.

What is a consumer unit and do I need a new one?

A consumer unit (also called a fuse board) controls your home’s electrical circuits. If it’s outdated or lacks RCD protection, it may not meet safety regulations. We install modern, fully compliant consumer units for improved protection and peace of mind.

How can I make my home more energy efficient?

We can help improve your home’s efficiency with upgrades like LED lighting, smart thermostats, MVHR systems, and solar panels with battery storage. These solutions lower energy bills and reduce your environmental impact.

What should I do if my electrics keep tripping?

Frequent tripping could be due to a faulty appliance, overloaded circuit, or a more serious issue. We can inspect and test your system to identify the cause and fix it safely and quickly.

Do I need an electrical inspection?

Yes. Homeowners should have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) every 10 years — or sooner if you've made renovations or noticed issues. We provide thorough inspections with a clear, actionable report.

Can I get an EV charger at home?

Yes. We install certified EV home chargers that are safer and faster than a standard socket — and we can integrate them with your solar panels or smart meter setup if needed.

Should I worry about smoke alarms?

Yes. Regulations now recommend hardwired, interlinked smoke and carbon monoxide alarms throughout your home. We install fully compliant systems for maximum protection and peace of mind.

How often should I have my home electrics checked?

You should have an EICR every 10 years, or sooner if the property is older or you’ve had electrical issues. It ensures everything is safe and up to standard.

Is it worth installing a smart home system?

Smart home systems offer convenience, security, and energy savings. From lighting to heating and door access, we install systems tailored to your needs and budget.

MVHR installation

MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) systems are essential for ensuring optimal indoor air quality while maintaining energy efficiency in buildings. The installation process involves careful planning and consideration of the building layout, ductwork design, and the placement of heat recovery units to maximize performance. Professional installation guarantees that the system is properly integrated with existing heating and cooling systems, ensuring balanced airflow and minimizing energy loss. Regular maintenance is crucial to keep MVHR systems running efficiently; this includes cleaning filters, checking fans, and inspecting ducts for blockages or leaks. By scheduling routine maintenance, homeowners can prolong the lifespan of their MVHR systems, enhance their efficiency, and maintain a healthy living environment. With the right installation and maintenance, MVHR systems can significantly reduce energy bills and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Fire alarm systems, Intruder alarms, CCTV & Access control

In today's world, ensuring the safety and security of your property is of paramount importance. One effective way to achieve this is through the installation and maintenance of advanced fire alarm systems, intruder alarms, CCTV systems, and access control solutions. Fire alarms provide early detection of smoke and heat, giving occupants precious time to evacuate. Meanwhile, intruder alarms deter unauthorized entry, alerting property owners and authorities to potential threats. CCTV cameras offer real-time surveillance, allowing you to monitor activities around your premises, and enhancing overall security. Lastly, access control systems manage who has entry to specific areas, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive locations. By investing in these technologies, you create a safer environment for your family, employees, or customers while also safeguarding your valuable assets. Regular maintenance of these systems ensures their reliability and effectiveness, providing peace of mind in an unpredictable world.
