    Removed Obsolete Alarm System

    I'd recommend AC Electrical for anyone needing electrical work done. Ainsley removed an old alarm system. He quoted a fair price, the work was carried out quickly and he was a really nice, down to earth guy. Would absolutely use again.

    Fantastic. Highly recommend

    Very helpful. I know nothing about electric cookers -.thought they were/are all the same. Only electrician to suggest I check the fuse available for the cooker and that the cooker I had my eye on required 42 amp and the cooker connection only supported 32 amp. Saved me a costly.mistake! Punctual, friendly, respectful, tidy and a great job done! Thank you.

    Fuseboard / Consumer Unit Installation

    Posted 03 December 2025

    fitted new consumer unit, checking all electrics and resolving all issues identified.

    Ainsley is very thorough. Kept me fully informed about the issues identified and answered all my questions. Agreed dates for carrying out the work which were honoured. I would recommend him unreservedly.

    Electric Sockets

    Posted 03 December 2025

    Fitted some electrics outside.

    I had an outside socket and a new security light fitted as well as some electrics sorted inside. He was very reliable and tidied up afterwards. I can't fault his work and he was very reasonable. I am very happy with the outcome.
