Electrical Services We Provide in Northwood
Consumer Unit Upgrades
Northwood has a high proportion of inter-war and post-war detached and semi-detached homes, many of which have consumer units that are now several decades old. We install new metal-clad consumer units with full RCD or RCBO protection throughout — improving safety and future-proofing your installation for additional circuits such as EV chargers, home offices, and smart home systems.
EV Charger Installation
Northwood is an affluent area with a high rate of EV adoption, and we regularly install home charging points for homeowners across HA6. We install Zappi, Easee, Ohme, and Hypervolt chargers, handle your grant application, and advise honestly on which charger suits your home — whether you have solar panels, multiple EVs, or simply want the lowest overnight charging costs. See our dedicated EV charger installation page for Hemel Hempstead.
House Rewiring
Many of Northwood’s larger detached properties have wiring that dates back to the 1970s or earlier. We carry out full and partial rewires with minimal disruption, leaving your home safer, compliant, and properly certified.
Fault Finding and Electrical Repairs
Tripping breakers, intermittent faults, dead sockets — we diagnose and resolve electrical problems efficiently using systematic testing, and at fixed prices where possible. Older properties in Northwood often have wiring quirks accumulated over decades of partial upgrades, and methodical fault finding is something we carry out regularly in the area.
Lighting Installation
From recessed LED downlights and outdoor security lighting to garden and driveway lighting, we plan and install lighting circuits that work for your home and your budget. Larger Northwood properties with extensive gardens or long driveways often benefit from a properly designed exterior lighting circuit — something we plan carefully at the quote stage.
EICR Testing and Certification
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) provides a thorough assessment of your home’s electrical safety. It is a legal requirement every five years for rental properties and is recommended when purchasing any older property. We arrange EICR inspections for Northwood homeowners and landlords through our trusted partners, with certificates issued promptly on completion.
Additional Sockets and Circuits
Need additional sockets in the kitchen, a dedicated circuit for a home office or garage workshop, or a connection for a new appliance? We add circuits and outlets throughout Northwood homes, always with the correct certification and at a fixed price agreed upfront.

Northwood Housing Stock: What We Know
Northwood is predominantly residential and characterised by substantial detached and semi-detached homes, many built in the 1920s, 1930s, and post-war period. Properties in roads around Northwood Hills, Green Lane, and the wider HA6 area tend to be large, well-maintained homes where electrical systems have often been extended and adapted over the decades rather than systematically upgraded.
The result is that consumer unit upgrades and partial rewires are particularly common requests from Northwood homeowners — properties that look well-maintained from the outside can have ageing wiring behind the walls that no longer meets current standards. We always give an honest assessment of what genuinely needs attention and what does not.
Northwood’s high rate of EV ownership also means EV charger installations are among our most frequent jobs in the area. Larger driveways and garages make installation relatively straightforward in most cases, though cable runs from consumer units can be lengthy in bigger properties and we factor this into every quote.
