Electrician in Burntwood

Ashware Electrical Ltd is based in Cannock, about four miles from Burntwood. WS7 is firmly inside our normal working area, covering Burntwood itself along with Chase Terrace, Chasetown and Hammerwich. NAPIT registered, trading since 2015, all work certified to BS 7671.

Burntwood is unusually well suited to EV chargers and solar

That is not a sales line, it is a fact about the housing here.

Burntwood is overwhelmingly post-war and later estate housing, built at a time when off-street parking and garages were designed in as standard rather than added later. Two things follow from that.

EV chargers

The single most common reason an EV charger install becomes complicated is nowhere to park off the public highway. Across most of WS7 that problem simply does not arise. Where there is a drive or a garage and a reasonably modern consumer unit, a charge point is usually a straightforward job: assess the supply, run the cable, fit the unit, test and commission.

What we check before quoting is the incoming supply and main fuse rating, the state of the consumer unit, and the earthing arrangement, because that is what determines whether you need additional protection. We will tell you that up front rather than discover it on the day.

Solar

Estate housing of this era tends to have simple, uncomplicated roof shapes with few dormers and little overshading from mature trees or neighbouring buildings. That is close to ideal for solar. Unlike Lichfield a few miles east, most of Burntwood has no conservation area or listed building complications to work around.

We quote after a survey rather than off a postcode, because the roof, its orientation and what you want the system to do are what set the cost.

Older property and consumer units

Plenty of Burntwood housing is now fifty to seventy years old, and the wiring has often had a harder life than the building. Consumer unit replacement is our most common single job — swapping an old fuse board for a modern unit with RCD or RCBO protection is usually the biggest single safety improvement available on an installation of that age.

If you are not sure what state yours is in, an EICR tells you rather than guesses. Domestic EICRs from £220 + VAT.
