Rewiring, fuse boards and repairs for local homes
Repairs and fault finding
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, we check 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. Before we add to a circuit, we check that it is safe to do so.

Emergency electrician in Largs for power loss and faults
We offer 24/7 emergency help, with attendance subject to availability. Call with your postcode and describe the fault. We will tell you whether we can attend, the likely arrival time and the call-out charge.
Keep clear of hot, wet or sparking fittings, and do not keep resetting a breaker that trips again. If you see smoke or fire, leave the property and call 999.
See our emergency electrician page for more.
Experience on real jobs
On a recent kitchen job, the old wiring did not suit the new layout. A homeowner needed a kitchen rewire. We fitted new wiring, sockets, LED lighting and a new main earth cable. Then we tested the new circuits.
Consumer unit upgrade on Glen Avenue
We replaced an old fuse board with a new RCBO consumer unit. We checked the existing circuits before connecting them and tested them again afterwards.
Emergency call-out on Moorburn Road
A homeowner lost power to part of their home. Tests found an overloaded RCBO that had overheated and burnt the wiring inside the fuse board.
We isolated the circuit, replaced the damaged parts and tested the repair before we restored power.

FAQs: costs, rewiring and faults
How much does an electrician in Largs cost?
The cost 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. For emergency visits, we explain the call-out charge when you phone.
When does a home need rewiring?
We recommend a rewire when testing shows that the existing wiring needs replacing. Age alone does not prove a home needs rewiring. We check the wiring and circuit protection, then explain the findings. Some homes need a repair or partial upgrade rather than a full rewire.
Why do my electrics keep tripping?
Repeated tripping can be caused by an overload, damaged wiring, damp or a faulty appliance. The cause depends on which protective device is tripping. Do not keep resetting it. DTEC Electrical tests the affected circuit to find the fault and explain the repair needed.
Can sea air affect outdoor electrics?
Yes. Salt and moisture can corrode outdoor electrical fittings and damage seals, especially in exposed coastal locations. We check outdoor sockets, lights and the circuits supplying them before recommending repairs or replacements. For advice on using electricity safely outdoors, see Electrical Safety First.
