Electrical Rewires
We specialise in complete electrical rewiring for properties over 30 years old with outdated rubber or fabric-insulated cables. Our NAPIT-approved team replaces all wiring and installs modern consumer units, improving safety while adding sockets, switches and LED lighting. Each project includes access to all electrical points with minimal disruption to your property's structure.
Solar Panel Installation
As MCS-accredited installers, we design and fit solar photovoltaic systems that reduce grid dependency and generate tax-free income through feed-in tariffs. Our solutions include 4kW systems with inverters and production meters, optimised for Cumbria's climate. We handle all aspects from site assessment to grid connection compliance.
Battery Storage Solutions
We install Tesla Powerwall, Pure Drive, and Duracell Dura5 battery systems that store solar energy for evening use or grid outages. Our solutions range from 5kWh domestic units to 276kWh commercial banks, featuring lithium iron phosphate chemistry for safety and longevity with 10-year warranties.
EV Charging Points
We supply and install Zappi home charging units with WiFi connectivity and 3-year warranties. Our rapid installation service includes optimal positioning assessment, cable routing, and full user training. Systems integrate seamlessly with existing solar installations for maximum energy efficiency.
Electrical Condition Reports
We conduct comprehensive 5-yearly electrical installation condition reports (EICRs) for landlords and home sellers. Our inspections cover consumer units, sockets, lighting, and earthing systems, producing detailed reports identifying any unsatisfactory components requiring remedial work to meet safety standards.
