Paul was prepared to a small job for customers in a remote area. Our fitted microwave needed replacing, but none of the firms, selling the model we wanted, offered an installment service. We live in a fairly remote area and it can be difficult to find tradesmen, especially electricians. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to be rung by Paul on the same day that I put the job in Check a trade. We agreed a very reasonable price for the job; the microwave was delivered on Monday and Paul fitted it on Monday afternoon. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Outdoor security light installation, plus some indoor electrical work A very positive experience from start to finish. A prompt response to a request for work and an initial visit to quote. Communication was excellent with updates. The electrician who completed the work was lovely, punctual, friendly and informative throughout the visit. It was such a positive experience I made the effort to write a review!

New electric towel rail in bathroom and new ceiling light Paul's man arrived on time and prepared the area where he was going to work, and at all times, was tidy and careful and very knowledgeable. We didn't have the instructions for the towel rail - they hadn't been sent - but he consulted with us and was exactly right in how he approached this. We were very pleased to have a lovely new ceiling light and a working radiator.

New sockets and new casing for outside electrical points. Paul was prompt in arranging a quote, once we accepted and paid the deposit the work start almost straight away. Charlie came out to do the work, he was very polite, friendly and tidy; it was the start of the summer holiday so with three kids and a crazy dog it was quite manic. The work was all complete to a high standard and any mess was cleared. I wouldn’t hesitate to use P.D Electrical service again and would happily recommend them.

We have worked alongside Paul on a number of solar PV and battery storage installations, and they are brilliant to work with. They are consistently reliable, well-organised, and bring an impressive level of Fox inverter and battery knowledge to every project. What really sets them apart is their aftercare and problem-solving—if any technical issues or faults crop up, they deal with the customers excellently and stay until it’s fully sorted rather than walking away. Fantastic communication throughout. Highly recommend them for local solar and battery work!

Got PD electrical to fit a couple of video doorbells. Really happy with the work. They did a great job fitting the doorbells and kept me informed throughout the whole process, explaining everything clearly and providing all the information I needed - it was all a bit more complicated then it should have been due to the eccentricities of the house. Reliable, professional and would definitely recommend them.

PD Electrical FAQs

Our answers to the most frequently-asked questions regarding electrical works for North Devon properties. 

Energy Monitoring & Analysis

We identify where and when electricity is being used, helping uncover waste, unnecessary consumption and opportunities for savings.

We install temporary data logger monitoring equipment to record electrical usage over days, weeks or months to get you the data you need.

No. Your electricity bill tells you how much energy you’ve used and what you’ve been charged, but it doesn’t show exactly when that energy was used or what equipment was responsible for it. 

Our monitoring equipment provides detailed, real-time data, allowing us to see exactly how much power is being used at specific times of the day, such as 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon. 

This level of granular data helps identify energy-hungry equipment, peak demand periods and opportunities to reduce costs. The more detailed the data, the better informed your decisions can be.

Usage patterns, peak demand periods, load profiles, power factor information, unusual consumption and recommendations for improvement.

In many cases, yes. Our monitoring can help identify major energy users and potential inefficiencies.

Solar & Battery

Every business is different, but many businesses can significantly reduce their electricity costs by generating their own power during working hours when energy usage is often highest. We can assess your usage patterns and provide realistic savings estimates.

Yes. Solar panels continue to generate electricity even on cloudy days. While output is lower than on bright sunny days, a well-designed system can still produce useful energy throughout the year. By adding in battery storage you make best use of the energy.

Yes. By generating a proportion of your own electricity on-site, you become less reliant on buying power from the grid, helping to reduce exposure to future energy price increases.

We can carry out a site survey to assess your roof space, electricity usage, orientation and other factors to determine whether solar would be a worthwhile investment for your business.

Yes. Battery storage allows excess solar energy generated during the day to be stored and used later, helping to reduce grid consumption and improve the value of the solar installation.

Maintenance & Compliance

Every business is different, but many businesses can significantly reduce their electricity costs by generating their own power during working hours when energy usage is often highest. We can assess your usage patterns and provide realistic savings estimates.
