Ideal Electrical Solutions (UK) Limited

Replacement stair lighting including new Astro clock timer installed. We had a glitch with the timer but Chris quickly organised the fix. Happy to recommend

I manage rental properties within Edinburgh and use Idea Electrical Solutions for all electrical works including all safety certificates (even including fire extinguisher maintenance, Fire Risk Assessments, Legionella testing etc - they cover everything!) They are thorough, highly skilled, professional and extremely knowledgeable. The staff at Ideal Electrical Solutions really go out of their way to help! Having had mixed experiences with other electrical companies in and around Edinburgh, I can honestly say I wouldnt go anywhere else. I thoroughly recommend Ideal Electrical Solutions!

I had a light fitting changed, a light switch moved and a socket installed.
I am delighted with Dawid’s advice, help and professionalism.

Had an EV charger installed at an apartment, so a bit more complex than normal, scheduling surveys and the install was seamless and they were prompt and patient with a lot of questions from an EV novice. Brandon and Kyle who completed the install were great and tidy. Would definitely recommend.

New Shower room light installed, and new pull switch. Perfect job.

Josh and Brandon were exceptionally courteous. I have mobility issues but they were very patient - and let themselves out to help me.

Ideal Electrical did a great job. Their guys, Dawid and Kyle, pulled out all the stops to complete the job after finding an unexpected issue in the latter stages. I think many other companies would've left it uncompleted and rescheduled but they found a solution and put in an extra couple of hours on a Friday afternoon to get it done, which was important as I'm on a tight schedule with the works. It was much appreciated and I'm happy to recommend them.

Ideal Electrical have just installed new dimplex storage heaters for me. Everyone was super helpful. The guys that carried out the work were personable, prompt and tidy workers. Mark the MD was very patient and responded quickly and helpfully to my emails. Unfortunately one of the storage heaters and the dimplex hub were faulty. Mark and Chris helped me liaise with dimplex re the heater and were quick to replace the hub. Without a doubt they would be my go to for any future work.

We contacted Ideal Electrical Solutions (UK) Ltd in late July to quote for installing batteries to complement our solar panels (installed 2011) and to help our heating costs having replaced an old gas boiler with electric radiators/hot water unit. We needed the ability to store electricity at a cheap overnight tariff to power our daytime heating in the colder months - and we needed to avoid disqualifying ourselves from feed in tariff (FiT) payments which still have over 10 years to run.

Mark responded quickly to my query, visited the property and recommended suitable batteries. He answered all queries promptly and intelligently, the quote was competitive, and he and his team scheduled the installation to fit in with our own availability, agreeing with us the location of cabling and batteries and gaining the necessary permissions from the energy network provider. Work was carried out on time, neatly and professionally and with a minimum of fuss.

Now the colder weather is here we are delighted to have the benefit of the batteries - they charge overnight at cheap rate and power our heating during the day when it would otherwise be much more expensive. Very happy to have chosen IES as our installers and can sincerely recommend them on all counts.

Installed a new outside security light

Have used Ideal Electrics several times. Great advice from Chris who was anxious to save us money on an emergency callout byasking for photos so he could give advice over the phone to save the callout fee.

Nevertheless Jason came out and fixed the problem and gave advice.cam

Work done as specified. Staff very helpful. Arrived at the agreed time. No complaints at all. Very happy.

Excellent service from start to finish providing and installing my new heater and associated electrical work. Very good communication, installed exactly as required by Craig who did a great job. Follow up queries from me regarding normal operation of the heater resolved by a visit from Chris and a follow up phone call from Chris who explained everything I didn’t really fully understand. Very pleased I chose your firm and would recommend your firm to anyone requiring similar work done.

All the electricity installation work for the cabin was done professionally by Denim and Kyle!
Now waiting for the Minor Works Certificate, would recommend to everyone and I will definitely use IES again!

It was easy to work with IES, unlike other tradepeople or companies I have used. Bascially, you first book an appointment with Chris is was very helpful and decides what works have to be done, pay the deposit and they get the work done!!

Lewis installed 4 wall lamps for us.
Job was done courteously, exactly to spec and on time.
Thank you again for excellent service.

I can’t praise this company highly enough!

What a fantastic job they did from start to finish in guiding us through the process and installing a home car charger.

They even helped us with advice on how to apply for the work place charger grant!

5 star service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I opted for solar panels and battery storage. The highly professional team were on site and took only one day for battery install and half day for panels (16) with wire mesh fitted to prevent birds nesting. Everything was explained throughout instal as the day went on.
The guys were highly knowledgeable when I asked questions and gave me peace of mind. Great instal price as well with a higher return from Octopus than expected. No mess, no issues just a great performance from Ideal Electrical Solutions. Thanks to Mark,Chris and the rest of the guys, a brilliant job and I will recommend you to anyone.

Mark was great from start to finish. His team were professional and knowledgeable, great to deal with would highly recommend

Excellent service - quote was great and the work was completed in less than a week. Lovely electrician who also sorted a wiring problem for no extra cost. I'll definitely be using this company again and recommended to friends. Thank you.

Solar/battery install

Very fast service overall. Been up and running for two weeks now, if I'd gone with other quotes - I'd still be waiting. Top service and communication, would happily recommend!

We had IES consult, plan, price and install a solar system with 16 panels, 2 batteries and an inverter fitted and from start to finish, the process was absolutely flawless. Mark was very detailed in explaining what had to happen at each point, what would happen and what the end result would be and he was absolutely true to his word. His team(s) were brilliant, the work and the finish were/are great and the system is working brilliantly and producing more than we probably expected in power. I’d been wanting this installed for years and bit the bullet for what is a long term investment, long term gain project and would highly, highly recommended the solar life to everyone!!
