Business Information

At Harkins & Vickers Electrical Solutions, we provide safe, reliable, and professional electrical services for homeowners. Whether you need a small repair, a full rewire, or modern upgrades to your home’s electrics, we deliver clear advice, high-quality workmanship, and work that complies fully with current UK regulations.

Electrical Installations -

We carry out all types of domestic electrical installations, from additional sockets and lighting upgrades to complete electrical systems for renovations and extensions. Every installation is carefully planned, neatly finished, and tested to ensure long-term safety and performance.

Rewires and Upgrades -

Older electrical systems can be unsafe, inefficient, and unsuitable for modern living. We provide full and partial rewires, as well as targeted upgrades to improve capacity, safety, and reliability. If you’re renovating, extending, or buying an older property, we’ll assess what’s needed and explain your options clearly.

Lighting Solutions -

Good lighting transforms a home. We install internal and external lighting, including LED upgrades, feature lighting, garden lighting, and security lighting. Our focus is on practical design, energy efficiency, and clean installation—no messy cabling or rushed finishes.

Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Replacements -

An outdated fuse board is one of the biggest electrical safety risks in a home. We replace old units with modern consumer units fitted with RCD and RCBO protection, improving safety and compliance while giving you peace of mind.

Electrical Fault Finding and Repairs -

If something isn’t working properly—or keeps tripping—we’ll find the fault and fix it properly, not just mask the problem. We carry out systematic testing to identify issues safely and efficiently, keeping disruption to a minimum.

Electrical Safety Inspections and Testing -

We offer Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for homeowners, landlords, and buyers. These inspections check the safety of your electrical system and highlight any issues clearly, without exaggeration or scare tactics.

Smart Home and Modern Upgrades -

From smart lighting and heating controls to USB sockets and EV charger installations, we help homeowners modernise their properties with practical, future-ready solutions that actually add value and convenience.

How We Work -

We treat every home with respect. That means turning up when we say we will, explaining work in plain English, keeping things tidy, and completing jobs to a professional standard. Safety and compliance are never optional, and we don’t cut corners.

Whether it’s a small job or a major upgrade, our aim is simple: safe electrics, done properly.

Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions have restored our faith that good contractors do exist. We have been let down and disappointed by others in the past. KGES demonstrated clear integrity and professionalism throughout. They were easy to deal with, turned up promptly when they said they would, clearly explained the issues, provided prompt clear estimates, carried out the work and then tidied up. We were delighted with them.

We had an extractor fan replaced in our bathroom, plus an investigation into some problems with the bathroom lights.

The work was done within 3 days of the initial enquiry. Our electrician arrived at the promised time and the work was done well within an hour.

I was very pleased with the work done.

Can’t fault their customer service, I had problem with the RCD tripping whenever the shower was on. Shower cable was tested and was ok, so to elimate the problem a new shower was installed, however problem still existed. Phoned to discuss problem and Chris came round the next morning and took time to fault find. Wire between pull cord and shower had suffered thermal damage and is scheduled to be replaced, for a small job it’s reassuring to know that great customer service still exists and somebody cares, I wouldn’t use anybody else

Added power circuit to attic room, extended lighting circuit and installed two vintage pendent light fittings to kitchen ceiling, assembled and installed 32 arm crystal chandelier to living room ceiling (ceilings 11ft high). Very good attention to detail, very clean and tidy. Workers turned up on time and were very nice and friendly. Office/management staff regularly in contact and very helpful at arranging visits.
Not necessarily the cheapest electricians in Edinburgh, but fast and reliable, and the customer service was excellent. We will definitely be using them for any further domestic electrical works.

I was impressed with this company and will definitely use them again. They came out within two hours, were lovely and easy to deal with and fixed the problem efficiently.

My only 4 star is the value for money as it cost me £72 for a twenty minute job. However, the cost was similar to quotes I received from other electricians.

Everyone we dealt with at Keith Gunn was immensely professional. The communication and responsiveness was excellent. We had a tricky issue that we needed help with but the team at Keith Gunn soon put our mind at rest and implemented a thorough plan. Thanks to everyone for their support.

Very impressed with service from Keith Gunn. It was only for a stair lighting problem, but the initial phone call was informative and helpful, and when the work was done Paul was on time, professional, smiling, friendly and efficient. Great job!
