Electrical Installation
Our team is well versed in the fundamentals of electrical work, with this knowledge forming the basis of understanding across the rest of our services. This includes extensive familiarity and experience with supplying power to buildings and servicing the lighting requirements of residential and commercial buildings. Our standard procedures for installing reliable containment systems are rigorous, effective and – as a priority – organised. We take immense pride in our workmanship, having developed these systems over a number of years to deliver safe and reliable end results.
Working to the highest degree of domestic and commercial needs, our safety policy extends to our work across all electrical installations and fault finding measures as we test electric supply systems. As we run maintenance and eradicate defects in a variety of power systems (including fuses, switch relays, wiring faults, lighting faults, isolators, circuit breakers, transformers and lightning surge arresters), you can be assured that both your property and devices are protected and minimally disrupted.
The scale of our work extends from individual properties to mechanical construction and maintenance on the largest operational industrial sites. We thoroughly understand the need for minimally intrusive installation, ensuring testing and repair work is carried out efficiently and safely. To achieve this, our team familiarise themselves with your site and its contents prior to carrying out any work; establishing safety guidelines and procedures ahead of time.
Whether working in a domestic or business environment, our engineers are experts in audio-visual (AV) installations and maintenance. This includes everything including CCTV coverage across an entire site, single room audio systems and individually designed home cinemas.
Design and Build
With a team consisting of qualified engineers, we are confident in taking on an architect’s designs and verifying their feasibility, cost and functionality – making practical amends if required and solving any potential issues where possible. Fully prepared to accept design liability, from here we are equipped to follow a project through from design brief to installation, commission and handover. Being on the front foot in this way allows us to ensure thorough control as we oversee your project, before supplying you with full certifications and explanations of the work we have carried out.
This means that, when engaged, we are fully prepared to take on the responsibility of handling as much of the project as possible. This applies to typical commercial projects to technical full home automation, and we pride ourselves on tailoring designs to our clients’ needs – creating smart, green homes and efficient workspaces with features to improve both convenience and security many times over.
As a sign of this desire to excel across every project we undertake, South West Electrics are capable of producing value engineered offers to accompany any initial costings. Through casting an experienced eye over any brief we receive and workshopping solutions, we are able to produce two documents before accepting a work; one to your exact specifications, or a cost- efficient alternative that will still produce the same results for your project.
To aid with this, we make use of our connections within the industry, having robust relationships with a number of high-end, quality suppliers and sub-contractors to guarantee the quality of our work. Whether it’s collaborating with national energy suppliers, or best-in-class residential manufacturers such as Lutron, we go above and beyond to ensure our customer’s end product exceeds their expectations.
As a business, South West Electrics is registered with the NIC for EIC, meaning we are assessed and certified annually in our training and standard of work across any installations and as an approved contractor – and have been every year since the company’s creation. Operating across a variety of sectors and scales only increases our preference of handling the full picture of a project, accepting accountability and delivering reliable installations across these environments.
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) design and installation – permanently connected to the mains and constantly powering essential equipment for its entire lifetime, South West Electrics can design and install a UPS for your site. Perfectly suited to your needs, this one installation could save you thousands in wasted electricity.
- Power Factor Correction (PFC) design and installation – the measure of how efficiently incoming power is used in an electrical installation. Our engineers are capable of both carrying out power factor evaluations on site, and installing capacitors with the ideal production of reactive energy to prevent unnecessary circulation in your network.
- Rewires – are recommended for buildings that haven’t been assed within the last 25 years. By upgrading wiring work to meet current standards, the work enhances your energy efficiency and your network’s ability to cope with modern life, whilst also significantly reducing the risk of fire and power loss.
- Temporary Installations – for commercial events, construction sites or other such setups, South West Electrics can provide generators or temporary structures to seamlessly provide an energy supply.
- Generator Installation – whether for a temporary installation, or as a supplement to existing power supplies, we are capable of providing either lead or standby setups to guarantee the efficiency of your site.
- Electric Vehicle Charging Points – our technicians are experienced in installing this emerging and increasingly popular equipment in both residential and commercial locations. The specialised work greatly enhances the environmental sustainability of a property and can qualify for supplementary Government grants.
- Building Management System (BMS) – these automation systems are the computer-based controls that monitor and adapt smart home features such as power, ventilation, fire and security systems. In conjunction with any such features South West Electrics install to a site, we can also recommend and install a tailored BMS to ensure its efficiency and functionality.
- Fault Finding – ignoring faults is dangerous to both the health of a building and its occupants. South West Electrics are capable of both carrying out routine checks or responding to emergencies. Our experience allows us to identify and explain issues in an accessible way, before either carrying out amendments on the day or planning solutions in collaboration with our customers.
