Solar & Battery
Use the energy your panels make.
Solar panels generate your own source of renewable energy. They don't even need direct sunlight to generate electricity; they will work on cloudy days too, but the stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is generated. Not only is it a great way to cut your electricity bills, but you can also reduce your carbon footprint.
A solar battery stores any excess electricity that is generated and not used throughout the day, so it can be used when your panels aren't generating, at night-time for example. We can help install a solar battery onto your system.

Call 01562 261005Power Outage
There are a few reasons why you may experience lack of power. Ultimately, your fuse board is protecting you from a problem with the electrics within your house.
Faulty Plugs
If a plug feels hot or gives you an electrical shock, even a minor one, you should call an emergency electrician such as Blueco Electrical.
Problem Lights
If your lights are flickering, dimming, or buzzing this could be due to a multitude of problems. Don't try to fix this yourself, call Blueco Electrical.
Dead Socket
A dead socket may cause fuses to trip and could be caused by faulty electrical wiring or a sign that the socket needs replacing entirely.
Landlord Certification & EICR
Keeping rented property electrically compliant.
We work with letting agents and landlords ensuring that their property is electrically compliant, with proactive & reactive maintenance. We can inspect electrical works in properties and provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), then if required provide information on ongoing maintenance.
EICR: the law
Domestic Electrical Installation Condition Reports must be conducted, by law, on all rented properties at least every five years. Electrical Installations will be inspected by our qualified electricians and a report will be provided to the landlord. The landlord should then retain a copy for their records and supply the tenant with a copy too. In the event that work is to be carried out, this must be carried out within 28 days and is something that Blueco Electrical can assist with to ensure that your property is compliant.
Which certificate do I need?
If the property that you are looking at renting out is a newbuild then you will need an EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate) for the first five years. After this, and for any other type of property, you will need an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) and you will need to ensure that this is renewed every five years. You should also keep any electrical certificates or reports for your reference and so that you are able to show anyone who requests it.
Introduction
Give Blueco Electrical a call and ask for an EICR to be carried out on your property. You may need to supply details as to the size and age of the property. You will be assigned a qualified electrician and a date when they can attend.
The Inspection
The electrician will make their way around the property, checking all electrical installations using specialist equipment that they are qualified to use. They will look only at the results.
The Report
You will be provided with either an EIC or a comprehensive report detailing what the electrician has found at the property. A satisfactory code is C3, so don't be alarmed if you see this on the report: it simply means "Improvement recommended".
Remedial Work
Should the electrician flag any unsatisfactory codes on the EICR, these will need addressing promptly. We are happy to quote for the work; by law you have 28 days in order to remedy them.
Questions landlords ask
Do the regulations regarding EICs and EICRs apply to all rented properties?
These regulations apply to all tenancies created on or after 1st July 2020 in England and include HMO (Houses of Multiple Occupation).
What are these regulations and when did they come into force?
They are called “The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations” and came into force on 1st June 2020.
What do these regulations entail?
A brief run down is below, however, if you are in doubt then please don't hesitate to contact us.
- Private landlords must make sure that all electrical installations on the property they let out is inspected and tested by a qualified and competent person at least every five years.
- The regulations apply to all new tenancies from 1st July 2020.
- The landlord must acquire a report from the electrician conducting the inspection. They must also provide a copy of this report to all tenants residing within the inspected premises withing 28 days.
- Should the local housing authority request a copy of the report in writing then the landlord has seven days in which to supply this.
- The landlord should retain a copy of the report to supply to the person carrying out the next test.
- The landlord should also keep a copy on file to supply to any new tenants.
- Where a report flags that remedial work be carried out, the landlord has 28 days in which to ensure this is carried out.
What happens if I ignore these regulations?
A landlord's local authority has the power to serve notices on landlords, even private ones. If such a notice is served and the landlord fail to act within 28 days then the local authority can arrange for a report and work to be carried out, liaising with the tenant, and then seek to recover costs from the landlord. The local authority may also impose a financial penalty of up to £30,000.

“Excellent service from Ryan at Blueco! He installed a weatherproof outdoor double socket and pre-wired a heavy-duty cable ready for our upcoming EV charger. Really tidy, professional work, and he left the place spotless. Will definitely use him again.”
“Excellent support and service. I highly recommend Blueco. Always gives great advice, great communication and does an excellent job.”
“Absolutely excellent service. Ryan quickly diagnosed and fixed a fault on our first-floor lighting circuit that was causing the RCD to trip. Ryan was punctual, professional, and explained everything clearly. The problem was sorted efficiently, safely, and with no unnecessary work or upselling. Pricing was fair and transparent, and the whole experience was stress free. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again. Thank you!”
“I highly recommend Blueco Electrical. They got us out of a bit of a hole with our insurers setting a tight deadline to get our property's electricals recertified. They came in sorted the certification rectified issues they came across and sent all paperwork through promptly. Great communication, everything was explained clearly to us as needed. Following that we have had further work done and we got the same great service.”
“Ryan was great . He sent a Quote promptly and followed it with clear instructions regarding applying for the grant and information he required for western power to approve the EV charger. Ryan then gave an appointment for the work and phoned to inform me on the day of the exact time he would arrive . He completed the work in a timely and professional manner and then cleaned up. A very neat job , I'm very pleased. Ryan made sure I was happy with his work before sending me the bill. I would totally recommend good prices and value for money ,very professional , completed all the necessary paperwork for the grant .”
