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An outdated fuse board is one of the biggest electrical safety risks in a home.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.

Fitted two new storage heaters. Did an EICR plus the remedial work.
Reliable, did a tidy job that was well discussed beforehand (as storage heaters are expensive to buy so I needed the right ones for the situation). Things that were flagged up on the EICR did need doing - unlike some companies that are basically just punting for work when they do an EICR.
Very happy with them and hope they will be available if and when anything else electrical comes up.

We have now used Keith Gunn for 7/8 years. Initially they rewired our flat - and came to the rescue when a phone charger burned out, throwing the fuses.
More recently - the jobs the costs refer to - they have installed the essential smoke alarms etc and replaced old style lights in the hallway of the flat.
We have always been impressed by all aspects of their work - from initial contact to prompt arrival and neat tidy work. Their employees are always pleasant!

My new cooker was delivered 10 days early. I booked KGES promptly to install. At first this was 24 hours later, however KGES were able to move this forward to a couple hours after my initial call. The Electrician was prompt, polite, professional. The install was completed quickly after testing existing connections. After connecting, the cooker was fully tested. He detailed when the invoice would be received, and how to finalise payment. From start to finish, everything was made clear - more importantly all promises were kept and to a high standard. This was a small and urgent job, and KGES have proven themselves to be reliable and honest - and if I need an electrician again KGES will be my first call.

We needed a quick check done on kitchen lights and circuit board following a leak. Our enquiry was handled in a friendly manner by their office and the electrician turned up on time. He was courteous and professional and explained what he was looking for and checked everything as required.

I would highly recommend using Keith Gunn Electrical solutions. All the staff are really pleasant and everything was professional and ran smoothly from start to finish. A manager came to our office to survey and quote and nothing seemed a problem to him which was positive. Then an electrician came to ensure all the electrics had appropriate readings to be able to carry out the light installations, and despite a few problems with our old electrics, he managed to resolve them effectively. The electrician who arrived the next day was also punctual and friendly and carried out the work neatly and efficiently. I will definitely use their services in future. A breath of fresh air indeed compared to other companies I've used before.

Fitting LED conversion kits to all 3 elderly and increasingly difficult to support, stair light luminaires.
Easy to arrange ( in person ), agreeable quotation with conditions. Appointment sheduled for work to be completed following week.
Electrician arrived 30 minutes early ( a good sign ), Keith Gunn's office is local.
Work completed - including resetting the solar clock - within 90 minutes. No extras, cost was as quoted.
The electrician and the staff in the office were polite and professional.
Neighbours who shared the cost and I agree we should have had this work done ages ago.
Excellent and recommended.

Excellent pre and post sales support for the installation of Dimplex HHR storage heaters in central Edinburgh. The team on-site has been brilliant, organised, and cleaned up perfectly after themselves.

Very happy with the service I received from start to finish. Work was straightforward, but was done flexibly to my needs. Scott was quick (and patient!) to respond to my queries, and Dan (who did the work) quickly resolved the issues and was on time!
Would definitely use them again.
Thank you.

Four double sockets installed.
Very communicative and responsive - no hanging about for days waiting for a reply, unlike some others. The engineers were very professional, friendly and polite, and took time to fully explain what they were doing. Very neat job and they left the place tidy. Paperwork was clear and arrived promptly. Great service.

Lighting fused upstairs, leaving a switch live. The electrician from Keith Gunn was able to come quickly, identified the problem and made it safe until the remedial work could be done. I was informed about what was needed, the work was completed on time and as agreed. They tidied up after themselves too. I would recommend this firm.
