Rewire of all types of dwellings

We understand that rewiring a house can be disruptive but rest assured, our experienced Electricians ensure rewiring is undertaken safely with minimal impact to your household

Rewiring a house is quite a disruptive job for a couple of reasons

Floorboards/carpets will need to be lifted or removed. Channels will probably need to be cut into either your walls or at least your skirting boards. The power will need to be off while the work is carried out.

How do you know if your house needs rewiring? If you have an older home and it has not been inspected for several years, it may be due a rewire. Signs that you may need to rewire your home include circuit breakers that trip regularly, slight shocks from switches and outlets, frequently flickering or dimming lights, damaged or exposed wires and cables.

Is it worth rewiring a house? Although it may add to your expenses, rewiring an old home is a good investment. By increasing both the safety and the usability of the property, you increase its value. Potential buyers, too, must gain since the new wiring will prove useful to them for many years to come.

Time to complete may be quicker than you think A full rewire can take on average up to between 5-10 days, depending on the size of the property. The time taken depends on the number of contractors working and the exact scope of work involved.

Commercial Solar PV Installations

Our full trained Electricians offer the complete solar installation with over 20 years’ of experience. We can undertake projects of all sizes both locally and nationally.

How Solar works

A photovoltaic system employs solar modules, each comprising a number of solar cells, which generate electrical power. PV installations may be ground-mounted, rooftop-mounted, wall-mounted or floating. The mount may be fixed or use a solar tracker to follow the sun across the sky.

Sustainable energy Some hope that photovoltaic technology will produce enough affordable sustainable energy to help mitigate global warming caused by CO2. Solar PV has specific advantages as an energy source: once installed, its operation generates no pollution and no greenhouse gas emissions, it shows simple scalability in respect of power needs and silicon has large availability in the Earth’s crust, although other materials required in PV system manufacture such as silver will eventually constrain further growth in the technology. Other major constraints identified are competition for land use and lack of labor in making funding applications. The use of PV as a main source requires energy storage systems or global distribution by high-voltage direct current power lines causing additional costs, and also has a number of other specific disadvantages such as unstable power generation and the requirement for power companies to compensate for too much solar power in the supply mix by having more reliable conventional power supplies in order to regulate demand peaks and potential undersupply.
