Domestic and Commercial Electrical Services

Total AV Control has a dedicated electrical division, fully qualified and NICEIC approved, working across domestic and commercial properties throughout Guildford and Surrey.

Our electrical team works alongside our smart home and AV division on integrated projects, and is equally available for standalone electrical work where no AV or automation element is required. Every job is carried out to BS 7671 18th Edition wiring regulations and all work is guaranteed.

Domestic Electrical Work

We carry out a wide range of domestic electrical work for homeowners across Surrey. Whether you need a full rewire, a consumer unit replacement or additional sockets in a room, our team handles the job to the required standard.

Domestic electrical services include:

  • Full and partial rewires
  • Consumer unit and distribution board replacement
  • Additional power sockets, data points and lighting circuits
  • Lighting installation and upgrades
  • Fault finding and repair
  • Energy saving upgrades including LED lighting
  • Wiring for extensions, summer houses, pool houses and outbuildings
  • Alterations to bring existing installations up to current regulations
  • Electrical installation condition reports (EICR)

All domestic electrical work is certified on completion. Where required, we notify the relevant building control authority on your behalf under Part P of the Building Regulations.

Commercial Electrical Work

Our team is insured and qualified to work in commercial environments, including offices, schools and retail premises across Surrey and the South East.

Commercial electrical services include:

  • Mains voltage, single phase and three phase electrical installations
  • New and replacement distribution boards
  • Additional power and data circuits
  • Lighting design and installation
  • Electrical work supporting AV and networking installations in schools and commercial premises
  • Fault finding and remedial work
  • Electrical installation condition reports (EICR)

We work closely with our AV and networking teams on school and commercial projects, where electrical work is often required alongside network cabling, AV installation and system integration.

EV Charge Point Installation

We install electric vehicle charge points for domestic and commercial properties across Surrey and Guildford.

A dedicated EV charge point installed by a qualified electrician is the safest and most practical way to charge an electric vehicle at home. A standard domestic socket is not designed for the sustained current draw of overnight vehicle charging. A properly installed charge point charges faster, protects your vehicle and your home wiring, and can be managed via an app.

We install charge points for:

  • Domestic driveways and garages
  • Commercial car parks and business premises
  • Properties with or without solar panels

You do not need solar panels to benefit from an EV charge point. If you are also considering solar, a combined installation can allow you to charge your vehicle directly from energy your property generates. You can find out more on our Solar Installation page.

Electrical Work for Smart Homes and AV Systems

Smart home and AV installations often require electrical work that goes beyond standard domestic circuits. Our electrical team works directly alongside our smart home and home cinema teams on every project where electrical work is required.

This includes:

  • Dedicated circuits for home cinema and AV equipment
  • Power for Control4 lighting dimmers, keypads and processors
  • Electrical supply for network racks, switches and patch panels
  • Power for security cameras, door entry systems and access control
  • Electrical supply for heating and cooling systems
  • Outdoor power for garden AV, lighting and security equipment
  • Power for EV charge points and solar battery storage systems

Having our electrical team in-house means one point of contact, one project timeline and no coordination problems between trades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Electrical Services

Are you NICEIC approved?

Yes. Our electrical team holds NICEIC approved contractor status, covering both domestic and commercial electrical work. You can verify our registration directly on the NICEIC website.

Do you carry out standalone electrical work or only work alongside smart home projects?

Both. Our electrical team is available for standalone domestic and commercial electrical projects with no AV or smart home element required. We are general electricians as well as specialists in smart home wiring.

Do you issue electrical certificates on completion?

Yes. All notifiable electrical work is certified on completion and we notify the relevant building control authority under Part P of the Building Regulations where required. You receive documentation confirming the work meets current regulations.

Can you carry out an electrical installation condition report (EICR)?

Yes. We carry out EICRs for domestic and commercial properties. An EICR assesses the condition of your existing electrical installation and identifies any work needed to bring it up to current standards. Landlords are legally required to have an EICR carried out every five years.

Do I need an electrician to install an EV charge point?

Yes. EV charge point installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. A dedicated circuit is required from your consumer unit and the installation must comply with BS 7671 wiring regulations. We handle the full installation including any required consumer unit work.

Do I need solar panels to have an EV charge point installed?

No. An EV charge point works independently of solar panels and can be installed in any property with a suitable electrical supply. If you also have or are considering solar panels, the two systems can work together to allow you to charge your vehicle from energy your property generates. You can find out more on our Solar Installation page.

Can you rewire a period property or listed building?

Yes. We have experience working in period properties and listed buildings across Surrey where careful planning is needed to minimise disruption and visible cable runs. We assess each property individually before recommending an approach.

Do you work in commercial properties and schools?

Yes. Our team is qualified and insured for commercial electrical work including offices, schools and retail premises. We regularly carry out electrical work alongside AV and networking installations in school environments across Surrey.

Do you cover areas outside Guildford?
