“We had AC Electrical at home to investigate why we couldn't switch electricity on in the kitchen. Investigation took a couple of house and he came back a few days later to fix the issue.

Reliable and courteous
I was very impressed with Alec and Anthony, they were on time and managed to solve a problem regarding earth leads which would have involved more work and saved me money. They were very tidy and I have never known contractors to clean up so well afterwards. Would highly recommend them.

Work to replace bathroom light, switches and shaver socket
Alec was excellent. He clearly analysed the work that needed doing and advised us on how we could save money by buying the fittings ourselves. He turned up on time, was really helpful and was a clear communicator. He quickly fitted the light, switches and shaver socket, and everything worked exactly as we wished. Excellent experience and we are delighted to recommend him.

Excellent Work
I emailed Alec requesting a quote to move some electrical lighting circuits to a new location inside my property and also to re wire my garage sockets and installing new led lights and new garage consumer unit. Alec replied very promptly and arranged to visit me to discuss what was needed to be done. On the day of the visit he telephoned me to say he was on his way and arrived on time. Couple of days later I received the quote for the work and we arranged a date for the work to be done. On the day Alec and his college arrived on time and completed everything exactly as agreed neatly and tidily and I’m very satisfied and happy with the work done.

You can’t get better than AC Electrical (South) Ltd
Recently, we received a note through my letterbox advertising an electrician. We instantly said to ourselves “We don’t need this, since we have the best electrician already” so the note went in the bin. AC Electrical (South) Ltd are the best you can get. They completely re-wired our house. The equipment they installed was the most modern and indeed we were the first to receive the most up to date and safest fuse boards in the county. While re-wiring an old cottage, every effort was made to respect the character and design of the house. The team of electricians worked very well together and complemented each other so well. It was so easy to communicate with them and they clearly addressed any concerns or questions we had. They were most obliging when we discovered a few extra items that were not in the original work plan and promptly took care of them without any fuss. They were excellent timekeepers and put in a great day’s work, hardly taking time for meal breaks! When it came to the bill, they were highly competitive and most reasonable and as stated above, it was based on best of materials and equipment. We have had them back again to do several other tasks and we did so without hesitation, since as we said there is no better than AC Electrical (South) Ltd.

Excellent work
We have used Alec many times for jobs both large and small. We have found him to be professional in his approach from start to finish, from analysing the problem to providing an estimate to turning up punctually on the agreed date and completing the work to a high standard. He is unfailingly polite as is his assistant. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alec and team.

we have used AC Electricals twice for safety inspections and follow up installation of updated fuse boards with remedial workand
Excellent communication about what work needed to be done, cost, arranging appointments and updating any changes. Work is completed cleanly and professionally respecting the property. I particularly liked Alec's problem solving approach attempting to save additional unnecessary costs. Both Alec and Anthony are polite and pleasant and hard working. They are the preferred electrician for the local rental agents too which is a reassuring

Excellent service! Reliable, considerate, efficient and helpful. Highly recommended
Alec and his colleague replaced our fuseboard recently. They did a great job, worked extremely hard, explaining everything very clearly and making the process as smooth as possible. We were very impressed with how professional, polite and considerate they both were. Alec's pricing was clear and competitive. We would definitely recommend them.

No problem is left unresolved
Alec and Anthony are among the best tradesmen we have met in the last 20 years. They are excellent timekeepers and are so determined to get on with the job that they nearly go without meals! The work started on the day it was planned and concluded on time. They both work very well as a team and as electricians work to a very high safety standard. They are very up to date with their knowledge and even get excited to get a chance to install the very latest equipment! They are good listeners and are most obliging, being able to add or change according to the customer’s needs. In these days when every penny counts Alec and Anthony are prepared to do a First Class job for you, and still leave money in your pocket. We are about to move into our new home and meeting A C Electric (South) Ltd was one of the best things that happened for us. So if you are looking for the winning team - go for these two tradesmen.

Electrical Testing
I sent Alec an email with my potential electrical problem and he got back to me very quickly. He quoted me a reasonable price and we fixed a date for him to do the work. He arrived on time with his mate. Both were very amiable and polite. They explained what they would do and how long it would take. They set about the task and completed it on time. They cleared up after themselves, left me the report, and emailed an invoice the next working day. My first impression was that they were professionals ready to do a good job and at the end of the job that is exactly what they did. Great guys, I recommend them highly.

Would highly recommend!
Alec was prompt to respond to my initial enquiry. He, and his team, were tidy and prompt. Alec was honest about the work that needed doing, not pushy for work that wasn't necessary. He worked quickly and thoroughly, and dealt with a problem swiftly. His pricing was very competitive. Would definitely use again.

First class electrician
We recently moved house and needed/need quite a few electrical jobs doing. Alec has always turned up when he said he will, done a first rate job and always tidies up after himself. He's a great bloke, goes that extra mile to make the job right. I trust his judgement on the best way forward and his fault finding skills are brilliant, he will not give up until he finds out what's wrong. Kind of handy when you're dealing with electrical issues!

Replaced bathroom ceiling lights
The most recent job undertaken was to replace some ancient spots in the bathroom ceiling. Advice was given and accepted and we now have low power spots giving much better lighting. The work was carried out in a tidy and efficient manner, and very promptly. I thoroughly recommend AC Electrical.
