Electricians in Manchester, Greater Manchester

The mix is wide: one-person domestic contractors, emergency call-out teams, property maintenance firms with an electrical arm, and mechanical and electrical contractors serving offices and public buildings.

Most of the work on offer is for homes and for commercial premises at once. Mili Electrician is a one-person NICEIC approved operation covering domestic and commercial work across Manchester, from consumer unit upgrades and rewires to EV charger installation and EIC and EICR certificates. 24 Hour Electrician Manchester concentrates on call-outs at any hour, responding to power cuts, sparks, burning smells and tripping breakers from the city centre to the suburbs. City Centre Maintenance serves landlords, letting agents, commercial businesses and residential owners across Manchester City Centre, and is a property maintenance firm first, with a specialty in electric hot water cylinders.

Landlord and homebuyer testing is a large part of the local trade. Chorlton Electric, based in Chorlton, specialises in safety inspections for landlords and homebuyers and in installing EV charge points, including units from myEnergi, Ohme, Andersen, Hypervolt and Hive. Gas Safety Manchester Limited is mainly a gas firm, with landlord gas safety certificates and boiler servicing at the centre of its work, and it also issues Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homes and businesses. For rented homes in England, the 2020 regulations require the electrical installation to be inspected and tested at least every five years, and Manchester City Council sets its penalties for breaches in eight bands.
