Our late 19th century house was refurbished to incorporate:- relocation of mains electricity meter, a total rewire, installation of a computer controlled underfloor heating system and internet connectivity throughout. Mark Ridgeway was excellent throughout the fifteenth months long project being innovative, responsive and worked well with the other contractors on site.

Garreth and his team fitted a solar and battery system to our property... they were efficient, friendly and tidy, and couldn't have done more to explain the system and help us through the installation process.
Couldn't recommend them more highly.

JM Campbell fitted our solar and battery system. We were looking for a local supplier with good experience of similar installations and Garreth provided us with our third quotation. His easy-going nature, down-to-earth approach and detailed answers led to us accepting his proposed solution. The work started on the scheduled date and also finished within the expected timeframe, with all work completed to a high standard. Our roof is an awkward shape due to the location of multiple Velux windows, but he managed to fit all the solar panels in the same orientation. Garreth spent time with me after the installation was complete, to explain the system and how to monitor its performance. I have also used Garreth since for a minor electrical job, and he freely offered advice for a small DIY project I had planned. Having access to local support for our solar system was an important choice for us, and we are very happy to recommend JM Campbell for their solar solutions.

⭐ Reliable, Expert Local Solar Solutions ⭐
We were looking for a smarter way to reduce our electricity bills and get more value from our existing solar panels. Garreth at JMC Highland, recommended by fellow property owners, delivered exactly that.
Garreth suggested installing a highly cost‑effective iBoost system, which captures excess solar energy and uses it to heat our hot water tank. A simple idea — with a big impact.
Since installation, we’ve seen a significant reduction in our energy bills, with both heating and hot water now efficiently powered by our electric boiler. It’s great to finally make full use of all the energy our solar panels generate.
Garreth and the JMC Highland team clearly take real pride in their work and are genuinely passionate about solar and clean energy solutions.
Highly recommended. Thanks for all your support, Garreth!

Royal Dornoch has used the services of JMC Highland for many years, looking after its old clubhouse. With such an old building it was a quite a task to “keep the lights on” but their team was always available and very professional in fixing what was required and problem solving given the complexity of the 116 year old property. When they moved into solar they were always going to be our first choice and they have proved this to be the correct decision, taking their professionalism and problem solving talents into a new field. We look forward to working with them for many years to come.
