Why Mercer Electrical
No pushy sales. No subcontractors. Just a qualified, registered electrician doing the job properly, explaining it plainly and standing behind the work.

Dave has been fantastic!! He was recommended to me by my parents. I have had an electric car charger fitted β he recommended the best charger for my needs and completed the installation with new wiring throughout. Very professional service, and I couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you!!

Had Dave install a 6kW solar system with battery storage at our place in Alvechurch. From the first survey visit through to commissioning, everything was handled properly β MCS certificate sorted, clean cabling, and he talked me through the monitoring app before he left. Exactly what you hope for when spending this kind of money.

Full rewire and new consumer unit in our 1930s semi in Bromsgrove. Dave quoted fairly, stuck to his timings and left the place tidier than he found it. EICR certificate came through the same week. Already booked him in for an EV charger next month β wouldn't use anyone else.

Used Mercer Electrical for our workshop fit-out in Worcester β three-phase sockets, LED panel lighting and CCTV. Professional throughout, and the commercial EICR he did afterwards was thorough with zero hassle. Honest, reliable electrician for any business that actually wants the job done right.
