“I approached a number of electricians regarding installing a Tesla Powerwall to my home and after speaking to them all and getting quotes Charlie came out on top. He was patient with all my questions, knowledgeable with his answers, and his quote was very competitive. After the quote I also asked him to install interlinked smoke alarms to ensure we’d be alerted indoors if there was a battery fire in the conservatory, and he was able to also do that while here. The installation is lovely and neat, and he was professional and considerate when in our home. Thanks for the great service”

Around 6 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations. Confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done. It is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
