About Us
Yes, always use a qualified electrician! Electricity is very dangerous and can cause harm and possible death to you and others around you. It is always important to contact a qualified electrician for any works you wish to undertake.
Finding a qualified and competent electrician can sometimes be difficult especially with so many rouge traders out there. There are various organisations that deal with qualified electricians such as the NICEIC who we are associated with. They examine registered electricians annually to make sure standards and regulations are kept. Visit the NICEIC for more information.

Not always. Remember when you ask for a quote from an 'electrician' to make sure they have the correct credentials and backing from a national body like the NICEIC. Ask for an itemised quotation with a breakdown of the items and how much it will cost and make sure that both parties are aware of the time and what is involved.
Be careful! Make sure the company you are dealing with has under its umbrella registered and qualified electricians, plumbers and gas engineers. Some companies subcontract works out to people that are here one day and gone the next. We suggest that breaking up the trades and doing the works individually makes for the best results, that way you can pick and choose who you use and at the time that you want! Do remember if the works are not right you won't get it signed off from Building Control and nor will the works be certificated!
No, when you contact us at Power Installers we will ask you when is it convenient for us to visit, we will then give you a time slot of usually no more than two hours and if you would like we can call you half hour in advance with an ETA.
We accept most major Credit and Debit cards, bank transfers or cash.
All our works that we do are certificated and our electrical installation works are also backed by a 10 year insurance policy.
When buying a property it is always a good idea to have Periodic Inspection & Testing report (previously known as a PIR), this is an inspection of the electrical installation. This gives you a good understanding on the condition of the electrics within the property and whether there are any dangerous hazards visual or concealed. This also helps you as it gives you piece of mind, the possibility of negotiating prices with insurance companies and negotiations when buying or selling your property. Most lenders and insurance companys now ask for a Periodic Inpection & Testing report (PIR) as part of their terms.
Renting. It is a legal requirement to have a Periodic Inspection & Testing report (PIR) with every change of occupancy. Failure to do so can put the property owner liable for any electrical faults or hazards that may occur to the tenant(s) and property.
