Your Local Domestic Electrician
While ALPS Electrical is best known for solar panel and EV charger installations, our roots are in domestic electrical work. Every member of our team is a qualified, experienced electrician, and we continue to carry out a full range of household electrical services across Teesside, County Durham, North Yorkshire and the wider North East. Whether you need a full house rewire or a single additional socket, we bring the same attention to detail and quality of workmanship that has earned us over 500 exceptional reviews on Checkatrade and Google.
We are registered with NAPIT as a Registered Competent Person, which means we are authorised to self-certify all notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Every job we carry out is completed to BS 7671 wiring regulations, fully tested and certified. You receive all necessary certificates and documentation, and our work is covered by the TrustMark guarantee-backed insurance scheme.
Our Domestic Services
If your home was built or last rewired before the mid-1980s, there is a strong chance that the wiring is approaching or past the end of its safe working life. Older wiring systems using rubber-insulated cables, lead-sheathed cables or imperial-sized conductors present genuine safety risks including overheating, earth faults and, in the worst cases, electrical fires. A rewire replaces all of the electrical wiring, accessories and the consumer unit throughout your home, bringing everything up to current safety standards.
Full & Partial Rewires
Complete house rewiring for older properties, plus targeted partial rewires for renovated rooms.
Lighting Design
LED downlights, pendants, under-cabinet, exterior security and garden lighting schemes.
Fault Finding
Tripping, flickering lights, dead sockets, burning smells. Systematic diagnosis and repair.
Smart Home
Hardwired smart lighting, USB sockets, EV/solar integration and future-proofing.
Fuse Board Upgrade And Power To Garage
We were asked by this customer to install power to the garage. However, when we checked the existing install it was necessary to upgrade the old fuse board before adding any extra power. We installed a brand new RCBO consumer unit with surge protection with a 6mm 3-core armoured cable to the garage. Inside the ‘pre-fabrication’ garage building we installed 4 x sockets and a light and switch. We had some ply installed to allow us to fix the components whilst also allowing us to keep the cables hidden.

Electrical Fault Finding
Intermittent tripping, flickering lights, dead sockets, burning smells and unexplained power losses are all symptoms of underlying electrical faults that need professional diagnosis. Electrical fault finding requires systematic testing and experience to identify the root cause quickly and efficiently without unnecessary disruption or cost.
Common faults we diagnose and repair include deteriorated connections in junction boxes and accessories, moisture ingress causing RCD tripping, overloaded circuits, damaged cables (often caused by DIY work, rodents or nails driven through cables during decorating), and faulty appliances causing nuisance tripping. We carry out insulation resistance testing, continuity testing and thermal imaging where appropriate to pinpoint faults accurately.
If you are experiencing electrical problems in your home, do not ignore them. What starts as a minor nuisance can indicate a serious underlying issue. Call us and we will diagnose the problem, explain what needs to be done and provide a clear quote for the repair before carrying out any work.
