Professional Electrician in Hove
Hove’s distinctive architectural heritage, from elegant Regency and Georgian flats near the seafront to charming Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Brunswick Town and Poets Corner, requires an electrician with specialist local knowledge. At Resistance Electrical, we understand the unique challenges posed by older properties and converted maisonettes, including ageing consumer units and mixed wiring systems. Whether you’re based in the bustling Church Road area, the leafy Palmeira Square, or the family-friendly Hove Park neighbourhood, our expert team delivers reliable, safe, and compliant electrical solutions for both domestic and commercial customers.
Comprehensive Electrical Services for Hove Properties
Our experienced electricians specialise in fault finding and repairs tailored to the common issues faced by Hove’s older homes. Coastal air can accelerate corrosion on external fittings, so we pay particular attention to outdoor sockets and lighting to ensure lasting performance. In converted flats and maisonettes, the communal wiring can be outdated or inconsistent, so we carry out thorough testing before recommending upgrades.
We offer a full range of services, including:
Lighting upgrades: We offer period-style LED fittings that perfectly match the Regency and Victorian aesthetics typical of Hove’s seafront flats and historic terraces, preserving your property’s character while cutting energy costs. For more contemporary homes and businesses, we install modern, energy-efficient lighting solutions that improve brightness and reduce bills.
Additional circuits and sockets: Whether you’re setting up a dedicated home office or renovating your kitchen, we install extra circuits and sockets to handle today’s higher power needs safely. This is especially important in older Hove properties with limited original wiring, helping prevent overloads and ensuring your electrics keep up with modern appliances and technology.
EICRs for landlords: We conduct thorough Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), vital for landlords in Hove’s rental areas like Brunswick Town and Poets Corner. Our inspections identify faults and safety issues, helping you comply with legal requirements and protect your tenants.
Consumer unit modernisation: We replace old fuse boxes and consumer units with the latest compliant models, enhancing safety and reliability. Modern consumer units provide better protection against electrical faults and are essential for older converted maisonettes and blocks with mixed wiring systems common in Hove.
