Repairs and fault finding
Need a fault traced?
Power loss, trips, flickering lights and warm sockets can have more than one cause. Changing a fitting does not always fix the fault. We test the circuit, find the cause and make the area safe.
We will check availability and explain the call-out charge.
See our emergency electrician service.
Consumer units and fuse boards
A consumer unit, or fuse board, protects the circuits in your home. An older fuse box does not always need replacing, so we test first. If an upgrade is needed, our electrician in Largs checks the wiring first. We label each circuit, test the work and give you the right paperwork.
For safety advice, see Electrical Safety First.
Rewiring, sockets and lighting
Damaged fittings, too few sockets and frequent faults can point to old wiring. They do not always mean a rewire. We do full and partial rewires. We also add sockets, indoor and outdoor lighting, cooker and shower circuits and outdoor power. We check a circuit is safe before adding to it.

Kitchen rewire, Sinclair Drive, Largs
A homeowner on Sinclair Drive in Largs was fitting a new kitchen layout, and the old wiring no longer suited it. We fitted new wiring, sockets, LED lighting and a new main earth cable, then tested every new circuit.
Consumer unit upgrade on Glen Avenue

FAQs
How much does an electrician in Largs cost?
It depends on the work needed, the parts and the testing involved. For planned work in Largs, DTEC Electrical gives you a clear quote before starting any work. For emergency visits, we explain the call-out charge when you phone, so you know the cost before we attend.
When does a home need rewiring?
A home needs rewiring when testing shows the existing wiring must be replaced. Age alone does not prove it. DTEC Electrical checks the wiring and circuit protection, then explains the findings in plain English. Some homes need only a repair or partial upgrade, rather than a full rewire.
Why do my electrics keep tripping?
Repeated tripping is usually caused by an overload, damaged wiring, damp or a faulty appliance. Which device trips helps show the cause. Have an electrician in Largs test the circuit. DTEC Electrical tests the affected circuit to find the fault, explains the repair and checks the work.
Can sea air affect outdoor electrics?
Yes. Salt and moisture can corrode outdoor fittings and damage seals, especially in exposed coastal locations such as the seafront. DTEC Electrical checks outdoor sockets, lights and the circuits supplying them before recommending repairs or replacements. For advice on using electricity safely outdoors, see Electrical Safety First.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency call-outs in Largs?
Yes. DTEC Electrical offers 24/7 emergency help for power loss and faults, subject to availability. Call with your postcode and describe the fault. We tell you whether we can attend, the likely arrival time and the call-out charge. If you see smoke or fire, leave and call 999.
Are you insured and qualified?
Yes. DTEC Electrical is fully insured. David Thomson is City & Guilds qualified and 18th Edition trained, with more than 30 years of experience in the trade. We follow BS 7671, the UK wiring standard, and test every job. We also give a 12-month guarantee on our work.
