Services from your electrician in Inverclyde
Fault finding and repairs
Inverclyde is one of the wettest parts of Scotland, and damp often makes circuits trip. Rain gets into outdoor sockets, garage supplies and old junction boxes. We test each circuit until we find the cause, then fix it and test again.
Rewiring tenements and older homes
Many Greenock and Port Glasgow flats still have old wiring, often patched over the years. In a tenement, we also check the supply and any shared parts before we price the job. Often a part rewire is all you need.
Our house rewiring cost guide covers prices.
Fuse board upgrades
An old fuse box with no RCD is one of the things we replace most in Inverclyde. We test the earth and each circuit first. Then we fit the new board, label it and sign it off.
Our consumer unit cost guide explains what affects the price.
Lighting, sockets and alarms
We fit extra sockets, lights inside and out, and linked smoke, heat and CO alarms. Landlords, shops and offices across Inverclyde use us for repairs and safety checks. We work around tenants and opening hours.

Emergency call-out: burnt main switch and new RCBO consumer unit – Kempock Street, Gourock
The problem: The house had no power, so the homeowner called DTEC Electrical for an emergency electrician in Inverclyde.
What we found: The main switch had overheated and the cable connection had burnt and melted. The fuse board dated from the 1970s, with no RCD or RCBO protection.
What we did: We replaced the burnt main switch and the damaged cable, then fitted a new consumer unit with an RCBO on every circuit and surge protection.
The result: Power was restored safely, and the new board was tested to BS 7671 and certified.

Inverclyde electrician FAQs
How much does an electrician in Inverclyde cost?
The cost of an electrician in Inverclyde from DTEC depends on the job and the type of home. A small repair costs far less than a rewire. Tenement flats can need extra checks on shared supplies. Every planned job gets a written quote before work starts, so there are no surprises.
Which Inverclyde towns does DTEC Electrical cover?
DTEC Electrical covers all of Inverclyde, including Greenock, Gourock, Port Glasgow, Inverkip, Wemyss Bay and Kilmacolm. David Thomson, with over 30 years in the trade, is based nearby in Largs. Give us your postcode when you call and we will book a time that suits you.
Does my Inverclyde tenement flat need rewiring?
Not always, as DTEC often finds Inverclyde tenement flats only need part of the wiring replaced. We test each circuit and check the supply to the flat. You then get a clear report on what is safe, what is not, and a written quote for the work needed.
Can an electrician in Inverclyde do my landlord EICR?
Yes, DTEC carries out EICRs for landlords across Inverclyde. Private lets in Scotland need one at least every five years. We test all the wiring, explain any faults in plain terms and can carry out the repairs. We also fit the linked alarms rented homes need.
Why do my outdoor lights trip in wet weather?
DTEC finds outdoor lights in Inverclyde often trip in wet weather because rain gets into a fitting, socket or cable joint. We test the circuit to find the wet or damaged part, then replace it with a weatherproof one. Stop using wet fittings until they have been checked.
Is there a 24 hour electrician in Inverclyde?
Yes, DTEC Electrical answers emergency calls across Inverclyde 24 hours a day, subject to availability. Ring 07882 372474 and we will tell you the call-out cost and when we can be there. If there is smoke or fire, leave the building and dial 999.
