Rewiring is one of the most important electrical jobs you can undertake in your home. Old wiring — particularly rubber-insulated cable from before the 1970s — can become dangerous over time. A full rewire brings your property up to modern standards, improving safety and often reducing your insurance premiums.
Your consumer unit (fuse board) is the nerve centre of your home's electrical system. An old or outdated unit may lack RCD protection, which is now required in most domestic installations. Upgrading to a modern consumer unit is one of the most cost-effective safety improvements you can make.
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular across Wales, and having a dedicated home charger is far safer and more convenient than using a standard three-pin socket. Afan Electrical is an OZEV-authorised installer, meaning we can install approved home charge points and help you apply for any eligible government grants.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) are now a legal requirement for private landlords in Wales. We also carry out homebuyer electrical surveys, periodic inspections, and portable appliance testing for businesses throughout Ceredigion.
A thorough inspection and testing of the fixed electrical installation within a property, resulting in a written report classifying any defects found. Required every five years (or at each change of tenancy) for private rental properties in Wales under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.
Buying a new home? An independent electrical survey before you complete can identify potential issues that a standard mortgage survey may miss. We provide a detailed written report on the condition of all fixed wiring, consumer unit, earthing and bonding arrangements.
A legal requirement for businesses to maintain electrical appliances in a safe condition. We carry out PAT testing for offices, workshops, holiday lets and any other commercial premises, issuing labels and a written register of all items tested.
We work with private landlords across Ceredigion to ensure their rental properties remain compliant. We can hold your records and send reminders when your EICR is due for renewal, taking one more job off your plate.
Commercial and public buildings are required to have emergency lighting that is regularly tested and documented. We carry out monthly and annual testing, maintenance, and issue written records in compliance with BS5266.
If your EICR returns as unsatisfactory (C1 or C2 codes), we can carry out the necessary remedial works to bring your installation up to standard and issue a satisfactory report. We never recommend unnecessary work.
Good lighting transforms a space. Whether you are looking to upgrade your existing fittings to energy-efficient LEDs, add downlighters to a new extension, or install external security lighting, Afan Electrical can design and install a lighting scheme to meet your needs and budget.
We make it as straightforward as possible to get professional electrical work done. Here is what happens from your first enquiry to final sign-off.

We take pride in the quality of our work and the service we provide. Here is what some of our recent customers in Ceredigion have said.
Afan Electrical rewired our Victorian terrace in Aberystwyth — a big job that they approached with complete professionalism. The work was tidy, they worked around our young children, and the price was exactly what they quoted. Absolutely delighted with the result. Would recommend without hesitation.
As a landlord with several properties in the area, I need an electrician I can rely on. Afan Electrical carry out all my EICR reports and any remedial works identified. They're always prompt, professional and their paperwork is always in order. Exactly what a landlord needs.
We had an EV charger installed at home and at our business premises in Aberaeron. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and they handled the OZEV grant application for both. The chargers have been working perfectly for six months now. Excellent service.
Our old fuse box was condemned during a house purchase survey. Afan Electrical replaced the consumer unit within a week of us calling. Fast, tidy, affordable and we received the certificate the same day. Could not have asked for more — they saved our house purchase.
Used Afan Electrical to rewire a holiday cottage we'd bought that hadn't been touched since the 1960s. The level of care and attention they brought to the job was brilliant — they even worked through a weekend to have us ready for our first booking. Genuine stars.
We had Afan Electrical carry out a full LED lighting upgrade across our retail unit in Aberystwyth. They designed the layout, sourced the fittings and completed the work over a weekend so we didn't lose any trading time. The energy savings have been incredible — highly recommend.
The cost of a rewire depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits required, and the accessibility of cables. As a rough guide, a typical three-bedroom house rewire in Ceredigion tends to range between £3,500 and £6,000 including the consumer unit. We always provide a detailed written quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, private landlords in Wales are required to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report carried out every five years, or at each change of tenancy if shorter. The EICR must be provided to new tenants before they move in, and to existing tenants within 14 days of request. Failure to comply can result in significant fines.
Common signs that a consumer unit replacement may be required include: old rewirable fuse carriers rather than modern circuit breakers, no RCD protection, a failed EICR citing the consumer unit, or a request from your insurance company or mortgage lender. We can carry out an inspection and provide an honest assessment at no charge.
The UK Government's OZEV Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant currently provides eligible homeowners and renters with dedicated off-street parking a contribution towards the cost of installing a home wall box charger. As an OZEV-authorised installer, we handle the grant application on your behalf. Eligibility criteria apply; contact us to find out whether you qualify.
NICEIC Approved Contractor status means the electrician has been assessed for technical competence and business standards by the UK's leading electrical safety body. Work carried out by an NICEIC contractor is eligible for the NICEIC Platinum Promise — if something goes wrong with the installation within six years, the NICEIC will arrange for the work to be rectified at no cost to you.
A straightforward consumer unit replacement in a typical domestic property usually takes between four and eight hours, including all testing and certification. The power will need to be off for the majority of this time. We always aim to complete the work in a single day so that you are not left without electricity overnight.
