EICR
Electrical Installation Condition Report
This is a test of the fixed wiring in a property (i.e. anything that can’t be unplugged). If all is acceptable and safe, a certificate can be issued. If not, a report is issued, which lists any faults found. If wished, we can provide a quote for any remedial work required to meet certification.
Solar PV
Solar Photovoltaic
These are the most common types of solar panels and convert light to electricity (not to be confused with solar thermal panels, which heat water but do not produce electricity – we’re sorry but we can’t help with these).
FiT
Feed in Tariff
The Feed in Tariff was set up to promote the uptake of renewable technologies. Unfortunately, it was scrapped at the end of March 2019. The new scheme (Smart Export Guarantee – SEG) was announced in January 2019 and started in January 2020. Rates can vary from provider to provider so you should shop around to find the best deal for you. The technology will still need to be installed by a registered installer in order to qualify. Further information is available on the OFGEM website.
NICEIC
National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting
One of the organisations which regulate the training and work of electrical business in the UK.
Part P
Part P
An electrical safety law, often referred to as Part P of the Building Regulations, implemented to enhance the protection of homeowners and reduce the risk of electric shock when using electricity. The law, which applies to England and Wales, aims to improve electrical safety in the home and prevent the number of accidents which are caused by faulty electrical work. The law requires an electrician registered with a government-approved scheme, such as NICEIC, to carry out most electrical work in the home. After completion of any work your NICEIC registered electrician will issue you with a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate to prove it meets the required standards of Part P. You can only carry out electrical work yourself if you can inspect and test that it is safe for use. To comply with the law, you must notify your local building control office before you begin any work and pay the appropriate fee for them to inspect the work.

Electrical Installation Testimonials
Read what Carter Electrical Installation Ltd’s clients have to say about a variety of electrical installation services that we have provided for their projects.
A.M.
We’ve used carter electrical on several occasions for small domestic jobs. They’ve always provided a great quote and have completed the work efficiently and tidily 🙂 I would recommend to anyone and intend to use them the next time something goes wrong!
L.S.
Had these guys in a while ago excellent service and very helpful in placement of electrical items.
B.E.
At short notice, Carters were able to help me out of a real issue when my electric shower went kaput, it’s not something you should mess about with yourself, you need a proper expert and Michael Carter was brilliant, speedy, knowledgeable, friendly and basically a very decent guy. I can’t thank you and Rachel enough for helping me out so quickly and actually teaching me a few things to make my life that bit easier 🙂
C.H.
Really good work, thank you. The library at The Heights Primary School has been revolutionized.
G.S.
We had an excellent experience with Carter Electrical. The responded to me quickly and resolved a problem we’d been having for quite a while. And were very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.
Z.B.
Really appreciated the fast response – had a broken cord in my bathroom’s pull switch and got assistance the very next day (Saturday!). When the cord got jammed – same thing, very quick assistance. Thank you very much! Would recommend this company.
D.P.
Best Service ever and I have a Long history of breaking things electrical and water-based so I know what I’m talking about!
A.S.D.
Our electric shower stopped working, so I called Carters and spoke to Rachel, who was very friendly and helpful. She sent Michael out to us the same day (amazing!) and he fixed it. (We know nothing about electrics, so he could easily have told us it needed replacing with a new one.) Great, honest, friendly, speedy and tidy service at a reasonable price – ticks all of the boxes, so I will definitely be using Carters again. Highly recommended.
G.A.
As a main contractor, building new homes and extensions, Carters are my ‘go to’ electricians. They are competitively priced, communicate well and are always very flexible with a can do attitude which is vital on site.
