We have used AEF on a number of occasions, from changing fuse boards to upgrading our lighting system. What a great company all around, very reliable, fair prices, great customer service and highest quality of work! I can recommend them without hesitation whatsoever!”

Google Review

Absolutely tremendous service. I've had a few different things done. They always reply to emails quickly, turn up on time, give a clear price, do the work carefully and to a high standard at a reasonable price. Would recommend unreservedly.”

Google Review

We had a great response from AEF electrical. Had blown a fuse trying to do a bit of DIY on dismantling some outside lights. Came the following week and on time, were highly knowledgeable and completed the job efficiently. Would certainly use them again and would recommend them to others. Charge us a reasonable hourly rate for a qualified electrician.”

We contacted AEF electrical because we wanted a number of relatively small electrical jobs done. David replied quickly, arranged a visit and sent us an estimate the next day - in fact all commication with him was clear and prompt. He sourced all the switches, sockets and lights we needed which saved us a lot of time and effort. The guys arrived on time, completed the work to a very high standard and tidied up afterwards. Therefore we would have no hesitation in using AEF Electrical for any future jobs.”

Contacted company via their website, with prompt response. Arranged work after exchange of photographs and subsequent quote by email. Electrician on the day arrived in the time window specified.

Which Trusted Trader Review

Another great job completed on time and to my complete satisfaction by this professional and customer focused company. The work was completed in 2 phases around the needs of the joiners, plumbers and decorators. Both phases were competed on time without any mess by Jonny & Ben, who were a pleasure to have working in our home. During the work, the boss, Dave Norman, looked in to ensure all was going well - good to see that the boss is on top of all the work done by his people. I should like to especially thank Jonny & Ben for fixing a problem caused by one of the other tradesmen who managed to put a hidden screw through one of the lighting cables. Jonny was able to calculate the approximate location of the fault and then he and Ben had to confirm and to fix the fault. Great work by great guys! I have no hesitation in recommending this company.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

We used AEF for a full rewire and then Jonny came back to finish things once our kitchen and bathroom were installed. He was fast and professional, arrived on time and was a pleasant guy. What a relief after dealing with some other less professional tradesmen over the past year. We would highly recommend.”

Arrived within a couple of days of being contacted by us and gave a quotation. Any queries we had were answered in very practical terms which was much appreciated.

Have used AEF both for electrical work both in a rental flat and now our own home. Dave did a great job - very friendly, efficient and thorough. All working well and left the place very clean and tidy. Would certainly use again.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

I've used Dave's services several times now and have no hesitation recommending AEF. All of the guys are highly courteous and on both occasions went out of their way both to achieve what was wanted, and also make sensible recommendations. They came when they said they would, did what was needed (and more) and certification went through without a glitch. Will certainly be using again.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

Couldn't be happier with AEF Electrical's work or their attitude towards their customers. Friendly, reliable, polite, punctual, conscientious, and thorough. Would definitely use them again.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

AEF did a partial rewire on our 4 bed residential property in July 2016 over the course of 8 days. At the quoting stage, Dave understood our needs perfectly and provided a price that beat all others, by between 2 to 6 thousand pounds. AEF went to great lengths to find a time that would work for us to carry out this disruptive work. We were away for most of the install, and our neighbours were very complimentary on AEF's tidiness and communication (a burglar alarm was triggered). The work was completed without any hitches to the time estimate provided. Having been to the property during the work, the clean up was excellent, with floor boards, carpets etc restored well. Our house was again safe for our 2 year old boy when my wife and son returned. Throughout the process, the communication has been excellent and AEF have been quick to respond to queries. There really is nothing to fault AEF on. We'll not hesitate to use again and recommend to others.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

The trader was very pleasant,punctual and did the job quickly and efficiently. I would certainly recommend.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

Really helpful throughout the quotation process, giving sound advice and really concerned that the job they would do would give us the best result. We were unsure about what we needed, and their consultative approach was very helpful and appreciated. Thoroughly professional staff, well presented and tidy in their approach. Costs were exactly as quoted, and we're really pleased with the result - would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

Having been let down by another firm, I picked AEF Electrical without any prior knowledge, so I was especially delighted when they responded quickly and positively to my request. It was a small job, putting power into a log cabin, which created certain challenges in terms of running the new supply and working round the restrictions of the building design. After a short site visit to discuss the job, I received an estimate within the day, and had the work scheduled within a week. On the day of the job, the team turned up at exactly the agreed time (the clock was chiming as the doorbell rang!), and got straight down to work. They completed the job in one visit (we originally thought it might have required two visits), and it was everything I'd hoped for - neat and tidy, and everything in exactly the right place; what more can you hope for from tradesmen? Both the guys who did the work, and the supervisor who popped in to check everything was in order, were a pleasure to deal with; there's a sense of a real customer service ethic, which is a delight; happy to recommend!”

Which Trusted Trader Review

AEF Electrical completed a range of work on my flat in Edinburgh. Can not fault them, super quick and competitive quotation, had a few additional extras that needed doing and certifications and these were done promptly and without additional charge, even though the original invoice was paid. Would have no hesitation in recommending and using this contractor again.”

I used AEF last year to rewire the house I had just bought, and have used them at least 3 times since then. Dave and his colleagues have been unfailingly helpful, and the rewiring was done thoughtfully and in consultation several times with me. They make clear arrangements and are punctual and tidy. It is also a very friendly service. I have found all their work well done and good value. I recommend them highly.”

Glad to have chosen AEF. Work well done for a fair price. Dave and John were pleasant to have around, made sure they knew exactly what was required and just got on with the job unobtrusively. They kept disruption and mess to a minimum. They took time to investigate some mysteries in the old wiring and reconfigured where necessary. The house feels much improved.”

I have now used AEF twice, the first time to replace two consumer units and the second to rewire a couple of circuits. They turn up when they say they will, do a very neat and tidy job and charge the quoted price (which isn't the cheapest, but I suppose you get what you pay for). I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

We had an electrics problem on a Friday night so rang AEF on Saturday morning on the off-chance he'd be able to come out on the Monday. David came out on the Saturday morning just an hour or so later and fixed the problem, explaining what he'd done. Price was very reasonable too. Would definitely recommend.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

David came on time as arranged and completed both jobs (removing redundant boiler wiring and fitting ceiling light strip) timely and expertly. He also examined a faulty bulb and replaced it as an extra. He charged within his quoted price range which I felt was very good value for the work done.

I needed a kitchen circuit reorganised to replace a microwave (plug-and-socket) with a wired-in combination oven. I phoned one evening. Dave came out early the next morning, looked at the job, suggested a neat way to do it, found the necessary parts in his van, and finished the job in a few tens of minutes. He then charged me a VERY reasonable amount. I couldn't have wished for better - prompt, efficient, cheerful. I have complete confidence in AEF Electrical. Highly recommended.”

I found this Electrician (David Norman) on Which Local and I can confirm that he lives up to his 5-star rating. He did a number of jobs in our home including fitting some new sockets, making safe some old electrical fittings and installing a new circuit board/fuse box. Everything was done tidily and efficiently and for a reasonable price. When he upgraded the circuit board he advised me to contact Scottish Power about replacing an old mains cable - I would never have known this and no other electrician had mentioned it. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”

David Norman attended my flat in Edinburgh promptly as arranged, fitted a new RCD distribution board and checked all circuitry. I would recommend him as reliable, knowledgeable and efficient.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

I can't recommend AEF highly enough. I tendered for some routine electrical work to my Edinburgh flat and included AEF as they'd been recommended by a colleague for both value and service. AEF's quote was at a considerable discount to the other two tenders so I instructed them. Both the lads were straightforward and approachable, and left me feeling comfortable at all times with what I expected to pay once the works were completed. Dave took me through precisely what he was proposing to do in very simple terms and I was confident that what they were doing was necessary. This was done to a high standard in good time, with due consideration shown to me and my family. They also cleaned up after every visit and left notably good finishes on the walls and floors that had been breached. In short AEF left me in no doubt that appointing them had been good for my pocket and my peace of mind.”

Which Trusted Trader Review

After seeing the excellent reviews in Which Local for AEF Electrical, I contacted the owner, David Norman, and asked him to quote for the electrical part of a project to combine two flats into one. His quote was competitive and I was reassured by both his manner during the estimate process and the good reviews he had received; so I instructed my builder to use AEF for the electrical work. The work is now complete and I am very pleased with the work. David was able both to fit in with the rather haphazard schedule of my builder and meet my exacting requirements. He was more than happy for me to buy the components where I could get them more cheaply and he undertook extra work at a very reasonable cost. In addition to the electrical work, which included a full rewiring, he also supervised the installation of telephone, ethernet and satelite and terrestrial television cabling. I have no hesitation in recommending AEF and I would certainly use the firm again.”

David was recommended to me by the contractor installing a new central heating boiler in a 200 yr-old listed house in central Edinburgh which needed some extra and very complex cable routeing as part of the installation process. He estimated quickly, came on time and did the job promptly and effectively. I discussed a possible additional small job supplying and replacing an electric shower with him which he was happy to take on, again with a satisfactory estimate and outcome within a tight schedule just before Christmas. It is likely that he will be undertaking another more major job of installing a new consumer unit for me later in the spring. I have confidence in his work and look forward to using him for other electrical work in the future and I would happily recommend him to others needing this kind of specialist.”

Dave Norman (the owner of the business) was recommended to me by my gas boiler engineer. Dave installed a new consumer unit to replace an old fusebox, and installed some extra power points.

It was a pleasure to have him do the work and I will definitely use him again for further work. Thoroughly recommended!”

Which Trusted Trader Review

Picked AEF via Which Local and was not disappointed. Had several fuseboxes consolidated into one with full RCB capability. Also had some external wiring provided for a summerhouse. Dave was punctual and the quote process was painless. The fusebox work was complex but Dave offered up 2 alternative solutions and explained the difference in simple layman's terms. The overall price was within the range I'd anticipated. The external work was governed to some extent by the weather and again Dave and his colleague proved flexible to get the job done within my timescales. I have no hesitation in recommending AEF and will certainly turn to them again ass and when the need arises.”

When we moved into our house recently, the electrical system needed a thorough review and upgrade.

Dave and his team provided an exhaustive pre-job quote, paying a visit to explore the best - and cheapest - way of achieving what we were after.
