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An outdated fuse board is one of the biggest electrical safety risks in a home.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 required two new light fixtures for me this week. I was really impressed at their flexibility getting the job booked in and delighted with the work at a great price. Great communication from the office team. Would recommend to others and have found my go-to electricians for next time I have some electrical work. Thanks very much!

This is the second 5-yearly EICR that Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions have carried out in a flat that I own and rent out in Edinburgh. On this occasion, a fault was detected in part of the ring main circuit, for which a reasonably priced quote to find the cause and rectify it was accepted. The necessary works were carried out shortly afterwards and a new certificate of compliance issued - providing myself and my tenants greater peace of mind in terms of electrical safety. I find Keith Gunn's management and staff to be prompt, concise and polite in their communications, their services reasonably priced and they're happy to speak directly with tenants to help move matters forward. In my experience, they're a well-organised and professional company.

Our smoke alarms went off at just after 5pm one evening and would not switch off. There was no fire the problem was (according to Google) they needed new batteries, they are wired into the mains too so they weren’t going to stop. I tried to get into the battery compartments myself and failed. I phoned Keith Gunn electrical at 5.10pm and they had an engineer with us within 30 minutes who managed to replace the batteries and was kind enough to chat to my very upset 6 year old to explain what he was doing and it was fixed. Couldn’t fault anything about their service.

We had an EICR, which failed and thus remedial work to replace fuse box, lights, extractor fans amongst other work. They were excellent at fitting us in within the tight timescales we were working to, kept me updated with options & ensured I was aware of all works going on. Particularly appreciated having the same electrician visit all 3 times to give continuity & therefore expedite the process as much as possible. All staff were incredibly professional and personable. Would recommend & will use again!

Interlinked smoke and carbon dioxide detectors in a second floor flat.
Work only just done so I cannot comment on reliability or quality.
We did not shop around so I cannot comment on value for money.
The quote seemed reasonable.

We had to get a new RCD splitter consumer unit and new wiring so that we could install our new cooker.
When I phoned Keith Gunn Electrical solution I was very impressed with the friendly and professional manner of the staff. They were able to advise me what work was required and I I was delighted at how quick they were able to give me an appointment for the work to start. The electrician was excellent, kept me informed throughout and the work was carried out efficiently and to a high standard.
I certainly will contact this first class company in the future if I require work

We had an electrical fault in our home, and we had a number of electricians unsuccessfully attempt to address the fault. Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions were able to find the cause and make the necessary repairs, restoring our electricity. We were highly impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. They kept us informed about every stage of their investigation into the problem, and they made a special effort to complete the work in the days before Christmas.

I had a really great experience with Keith Gunn Ltd.
I moved into a flat with a ventilation unit/setup which was estimated by another company as costing £2,000.00 to repair/replace. This just wasn’t realistic for my budget and no other company in Edinburgh provided a quote or any solutions whatsoever due to the unique setup in the flat. Some companies cheekily offered a call out fee charge just to see the project, even though they front-loaded the conversation telling me they had no solutions in mind.
After speaking with a great staff member, Scott Virtue, and telling him about my headaches, we came to the ideal solution: replacing the unit system with an inline fan which would give me what I needed at a fraction of the price.
Thereafter, the company were very accommodating with last minute changes in my availability, and even more so when I managed to do some of the work prior to their attendance, whereby the quote was quickly altered to reflect what was needed/carried out.
Electrician carried out the work on time and within an hour - finally putting my ventilation dramas to bed.
Couldn’t be more thankful for the staff finding me solutions to what was 3 months of being turned away for one reason or another by other companies. Would recommend 100% and will contact them again for future projects!

I had my entire flat completely rewired by Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions. I am very happy with their work, professionalism, friendliness and price. Everything went as expected with regular updates as to how the work was progressing on a daily basis. Any issues with items being changed or locations were discussed before that part of the work went ahead. Would highly recommend this company, excellent from start to finish.
