We upgrade outdated fuse boards to modern consumer units with residual current devices (RCDs). Our engineers perform full electrical safety assessments, install high-quality components, and ensure compliance with current building regulations. The process includes safe isolation of existing systems, installation of surge protection devices, and final circuit testing.

Our service includes site surveys, electrical system assessments, and integration with solar panel systems. We offer rapid 7kW-22kW installations with smart charging capabilities and provide assistance with government grant applications.

Our MCS-certified team installs grid-tied and battery-backed solar PV systems for homes and businesses. We conduct energy usage analyses, design optimal configurations, and handle all aspects of installation including roof mounting, inverter setup, and grid connection. Services include battery storage solutions and smart energy management systems.
