Posted on Google Krzys DziamaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the start felt comfortable with Optima Electrical when looking at a solar, battery, EV charger installs and consumer board upgrade. Despite not being local Both Jen and Rob worked with me to develop a solution I was happy with and would suit my domestic need, rather than simply being pushed a preferred solution. After taking the plunge, the install went smoothly and was neat in line with the agreed proposal and my expectations. Even, the follow up with registering the system with MCS, the DNO and the system guarantees came through promptly and quickly. System has been in situ now for 6 months without issues and is delivering in line with expectations. Have no issues in recommending them to friends and family who are thinking of similar install!Posted on Google Georgia BeattieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Optima Electrical are consistent, efficient and all round lovely people. They always get the job done first time around and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.Posted on Google Attique RehmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Optima Electrical recently installed lighting in my kitchen, and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. The team was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. Their pricing was very reasonable, and the quality of work was excellent. I’m really pleased with the results and would highly recommend Optima Electrical to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality electrical work!Posted on Google Dave Gregson Writes And I2I4 non for profitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My mum is in her 70's and lives alone, she has had various trades people promise to do jobs for her in the past, but most of the time, just never turn up. I put her in contact with Jen and it has made her very happy! She says "Jen Blacow-Hughes of Optima Electrical sent her very professional team of electricians to do a rewire and sort out a problem! Nothing was too much trouble and I now have light everywhere. Clean and tidy workers, even wore over shoe carpet protectors. Definitely recommend Optima Electrical"Posted on Google Stuart BlacowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently engaged Optima to put some additional sockets and have a look at solar in our home. The team were professional, thorough and work was to a high quality standard. Thank you Optima Electrical.Posted on Google Jessie PearceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Another fantastic job done by them. Came out as quickly as possible, found and fixed the problem. Tidied up after and all with a friendly face. Reasonable price and great companyPosted on Google Alistair GladstoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I engaged with optima electrical recently to add a number of electrical sockets in my house which didn’t really have many when I bought it. The guys quoted me happy, and came to carry out the work a few weeks later. Because there was a team of three, most of the work was carried out in one day which helped to minimise disruption. I’m really pleased with the work and would highly recommend the guys at Optima Electrical.Posted on Google Will GaddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Following a small demolition project we uncovered a live cable from an exterior light. This wasn’t in our scope to deal with (and we’re not qualified) and the customer was concerned as they were leaving the house the following day. I rang Jen and passed the info. She rang me back within an hour to say they would have an electrician on site the next morning! Indeed they did and the job was done leaving the customer very satisfied as any further work could be done directly from the safe connection Optima had installed. Thank you Optima you were speedy, efficient and professional.Posted on Google Kate EvieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Optima were great and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to everyone I know! Rob and the team were incredibly professional and efficient, without a doubt the best electrician I have used. Thanks Optima!
Yes, there are limited grants available in the UK but there are no longer widespread upfront grants for most homeowners. You may benefit from schemes like the ECO4 scheme, which helps low-income households improve energy efficiency, and the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which pays you for excess electricity you export back to the grid.
Including equipment and installation, most UK households pay between £5,000 and £10,000. Larger homes or battery storage systems can increase this cost.
Yes, for most homes they are. Solar panels can significantly reduce electricity bills and offer long-term savings. They usually pay for themselves within 6 to 12 years depending on usage and export rates.
Most solar panels last 25 to 30 years. After this, they still produce electricity but at reduced efficiency. Inverters may need replacing after 10 to 15 years.
No you don’t need batteries with solar panels however, a battery let’s you store energy to use later or to use to charge your electric car.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a UK scheme where energy suppliers pay you for any unused electricity you export back to the grid from your solar panels.
It depends on your household energy usage. Most homes need between 8 and 14 panels to cover a significant portion of their electricity needs. A typical 3–4 bedroom home often installs around 10 panels.
Not in the traditional sense anymore. “Free solar panel” offers usually involve leasing or power purchase agreements, where a company installs panels for free but keeps some of the energy savings or export income.
Very little. Solar panels generally just need occasional cleaning and a yearly check to ensure everything is working correctly. They have no moving parts, so they are low maintenance.
MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is a quality standard for renewable energy installers and products in the UK. Using an MCS-certified installer is usually required to access incentives like the SEG.
Martin Lewis generally says solar panels can be a good investment for many households, especially with rising energy prices, but he advises checking payback periods carefully and avoiding overpriced installations.
