At R Harris Electrical Services, we provide a full range of domestic electrical services across Carterton, helping homeowners keep their properties safe, efficient, and comfortable. Whether you need a single socket moved, new lighting installed, or support with a larger electrical upgrade, our work is carried out with professionalism and care. We keep things straightforward, explain what needs doing in plain English, and complete every job to a high standard with a tidy finish.
If you are dealing with an unexpected fault, electrical issues can quickly become stressful and disruptive. That is why we focus on quick diagnosis, safe repairs, and clear advice so you know exactly what is happening and what the next step should be. From small improvements to more involved domestic projects, you can rely on us for safe workmanship and practical solutions that suit your home.
An EICR is a detailed check of your home’s electrical installation to confirm it is safe and functioning correctly. It is a sensible step if you have concerns about older wiring, have recently moved into a property, or want reassurance that everything meets current standards. We carry out thorough inspections and provide a clear report that outlines any issues, along with guidance on what needs attention and what can be planned for later.
Older properties in Carterton may still have wiring that is no longer suitable for modern electrical demand. If you are renovating, extending, or noticing signs of ageing electrics, a rewire can improve safety and reliability across the home. We provide both full and partial rewires depending on the condition of your existing installation, and we plan work carefully to reduce disruption while keeping your home as clean and organised as possible.
If your electrics are tripping, lights are flickering, or sockets have stopped working, it is important to get the issue checked properly. We use professional testing methods to trace faults accurately, rather than guessing or replacing parts unnecessarily. Once the cause is identified, we complete safe repairs and explain what triggered the issue, helping you avoid the same problem returning in the future.
Proper earthing and bonding is essential for protecting your household against electrical faults. If these safety measures are missing, outdated, or poorly installed, it can increase risk during a fault condition. We inspect your existing earthing and bonding, then upgrade where needed to ensure your electrical system is safer and compliant with current standards.
Your consumer unit is the central point of your home’s electrical system, and older boards may lack the modern safety protection expected today. If your fuse board is outdated, damaged, or frequently trips, an upgrade can improve safety and provide better protection for your circuits. We replace old units with modern consumer units, label circuits clearly, and complete all required testing so you have confidence your electrics are protected.
Lighting upgrades can improve comfort, reduce running costs, and make your home more practical for everyday life. We install new light fittings, upgrade older setups to LED, and improve switching where it helps with usability and layout. We also fit outdoor lighting such as security lights and garden lighting, helping improve visibility around entrances, paths, and driveways while ensuring everything is installed safely for external conditions.
Modern homes often need more sockets than they were originally designed for, especially with home working and multiple devices in each room. Adding extra sockets can make your home safer by reducing reliance on extension leads and overloaded adapters. We install new sockets in convenient locations and can advise on the best placement so the finished result fits how you use each space.
