Questions we're often asked
Can't see your question? Call us. We answer 24/7.
Are you commercial or domestic electricians?
We're mainly commercial electricians, working for businesses, facilities managers, schools, landlords and the public sector. We also carry out a smaller amount of domestic work, mainly home EV chargers, solar panels and batteries, and electrical testing.
Can you work outside normal business hours?
Yes. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and we regularly work evenings, nights and weekends by arrangement, so installations and testing don't disrupt your staff or customers.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
We answer calls 24/7, and out-of-hours calls go to one of our directors. We don't run a 24-hour emergency call-out service, but we can book urgent and out-of-hours work by arrangement.
Are you an OZEV-approved installer, and can you help with grants?
Yes. We're OZEV approved, so we can install grant-funded chargepoints. Until 31 March 2027, businesses and landlords can get up to £500 per socket, and state-funded schools up to £2,000 per socket. We check your eligibility and show the grant on your quote. See the grants section for details.
Which EV chargers do you install?
We're registered to install all the main brands. We most often recommend Rolec, Ohme, VCHRGD, Tesla and Andersen, choosing the right charger for your site, supply, vehicles and budget.
Do you install solar panels and batteries for businesses?
Yes. We're MCS certified and RECC members, and install commercial rooftop solar and battery storage, often combined with EV charging so vehicles can charge from your own generation. We also install solar and batteries for homeowners.
Do you carry out drone surveys and inspections?
Yes. We use our own drone to survey roofs before a solar installation and to inspect existing solar arrays for damage, soiling or faults. It's quicker and safer than getting on the roof, and avoids scaffolding just to take a look.
Is there VAT on solar panels and batteries?
Solar panels and batteries installed in homes are zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027. Commercial installations are normally charged at the standard rate, which VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim. Your accountant can confirm how this applies to you.
Do you carry out EICRs and emergency lighting testing?
Yes. We carry out commercial EICRs (fixed wire testing), emergency lighting testing and thermal imaging surveys, and any remedial work is done by our own electricians. Find out more at eicrtesting.com.
Do you provide RAMS and work to site rules?
Yes. We provide site-specific risk assessments and method statements for all commercial work before we attend, and follow your inductions, permits and site rules. We're SafeContractor accredited.
Which areas do you cover?
We're based in Tamworth and work across the West Midlands, including Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Solihull, Coventry, Nuneaton, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley and West Bromwich.
