ELECTRICAL & RENEWABLESÂ
Residential & Commercial Electrical Services Throughout Dorset and the South West
At McCrae & Co Electrical & Renewables, we believe that electrical work is far more than just the installation of cables and accessories. It is the art of designing safe, reliable electrical systems that form the invisible backbone of your property. Whether it is a home where families grow or a commercial space where businesses thrive, these systems are a long-term investment that you should be able to depend on for years to come. Based in Dorset, we provide premium domestic and commercial electrical services across the South West, bringing a commitment to excellence to every project we undertake.
Our Approach: Reliability by Design
Every project at McCrae & Co begins not with a toolbox, but with a conversation. We believe in taking the time to fully understand your specific requirements before recommending a solution. This educational and honest approach ensures that the systems we design are perfectly suited to how you use your property. Our commitment to safety is absolute, but we also place immense value on good communication, attention to detail, and exceptionally neat workmanship. We understand that your home or business is a significant asset, and we treat every property with the utmost respect.
Compliance with BS 7671 (The IET Wiring Regulations) is our minimum baseline, not our ceiling. We believe that a high-quality electrical installation should look as good as it performs. From perfectly managed cable runs to the precise alignment of accessories, our philosophy is that neatness is often a physical manifestation of a safer, more reliable system.
Comprehensive Electrical Services
We provide a wide range of services tailored to meet the evolving needs of modern properties. A Consumer Unit Upgrade is often the first step in modernising an older property, providing essential protection against electrical faults and ensuring your home is equipped for current demands. For those experiencing persistent issues, our Fault Finding and diagnostic services use precision testing to identify and rectify problems quickly and safely.
If you are planning a complete renovation, a Rewire ensures your entire installation is safe, modern, and capable of supporting future technology. We also specialise in the installation of New Circuits and Additional Sockets, allowing you to adapt your space as your needs change. Our lighting design services—spanning both Internal and External Lighting—can transform the atmosphere and security of your property, while Outdoor Power solutions bring utility and convenience to your gardens and outbuildings.
For our business clients, we offer robust Commercial Installations, Distribution Board upgrades, and complete Office Fit-outs. We also provide Planned Maintenance programs to ensure your commercial environment remains compliant, safe, and operational with minimal disruption to your daily activities.
Choosing the Right Electrical Contractor
Selecting an electrician is a decision that affects the long-term safety of your property. We encourage all customers to look for contractors who carry proper certification and evidence of NAPIT registration. A reputable contractor will provide clear communication and detailed quotations that explain exactly what is included. Always ensure that you receive formal testing and certification upon completion of any work, as this is your legal proof of safety. Beyond the basics, look for an electrician who uses high-quality materials and suggests future-proof designs that respect the architectural integrity of your building. At McCrae & Co, we pride ourselves on being a partner you can trust for honest, professional advice.
Residential Electrical Excellence
Homeowners often contact us during pivotal moments in their property’s life. Whether you are embarking on a major renovation, building an extension, or modernising a kitchen, we provide the technical expertise to ensure your vision is realised safely. With the rise of remote working, we are frequently designing bespoke electrical layouts for home offices and garden buildings that require reliable data and power. We are also experts in preparing modern homes for a greener future, integrating EV Chargers and ensuring your electrical system is fully prepared for solar and battery storage integration. As a Residential Electrician in Dorset, we are committed to making your home safer and more efficient.
Commercial Electrical Solutions
We have extensive experience working within fast-paced commercial environments, including retail units, industrial warehouses, and offices. We understand that for landlords and business owners, minimising disruption is just as important as the quality of the work itself. Our team is skilled at managing complex commercial electrical services, ensuring that safety and legal compliance are maintained while working around your operational schedule. From emergency lighting and fire alarm systems to energy-efficient commercial lighting upgrades, we help South West businesses stay powered and protected.
Why Quality Matters
Electrical installations are not temporary fixes; they are long-term investments in the safety and functionality of your property. Quality matters at every stage—from the correct cable sizing to prevent overheating and energy loss, to thoughtful circuit design that avoids nuisance tripping. Proper testing and certification are non-negotiable, providing peace of mind and legal security. We focus on neat cable management and the use of reliable accessories to ensure that your system remains easy to maintain and flexible enough for future expansion.
Our Philosophy
We don’t believe good electrical work should simply meet the minimum standard. Every installation should be safe, thoughtfully designed, easy to maintain and built to support the way you’ll use your property for years. We take pride in delivering workmanship that stands the test of time, ensuring that the systems we install today are ready for the demands of tomorrow.
