We found this contractor from the Which website. They were efficient - came and did an estimate quickly, gave good advice on options and then came back and did the work on the day and time arranged - no problems.

AEF Electrical replaced a double socket, a bathroom fan and a central heating control unit. Communication initially was by email, which promptly clarified the items required, and timescale for carrying out the work - within 10 days. The electrician arrived at the appointed time, worked efficiently, tidily and unobtrusively. Communication was effective and appropriate. The work was completed quickly to our satisfaction. Overall a very positive experience.

Professional, fair pricing, excellent standards
I called in AEF after a previous electrician vanished leaving me in a pickle. I needed a consumer unit rewired, previous wiring tested and sign off and plenty of snagging aswell. I spoke with Dave to make arrangements and he was very helpful considering the tricky mess I had. Pricing and invoicing and work was priced fairly. Communication was also excellent and my Lecky onsite was Ruriadh who turned up on time and worked hard and was very knowledgeable. So altogether I couldn't ask for more. They are now my go to Electricians and if anyone asks, these are the team I will recommend. Thank you both.

Prompt and professional
We wanted to upgrade the external light by out front door. I messaged Dave Norman in the morning and he was able to send Ruairidh round that afternoon. Ruairidh explained that the cable needed upgrading and he would need to install a switching box. He was careful to check with me about the positioning of the switching box and the new light. After the light was installed, he pointed out some minor damage to the stonework caused by inserting the clips for the new cable (luckily the damage was barely visible). In summary - prompt, professional, honest and reliable.

I contacted this company for a quote to have stair-lighting repaired/replaced in our tenement stairwell and Dave from AEF responded promptly with a very reasonable quote. Within 48hrs of confirming that we wanted to proceed, an appointment was arranged, Jonny the electrician turned up on time, replaced all our lights and the timer clock within a couple of hours, and tidied up after himself. A very professional service! Would highly recommend.

Excellent electricians
AEF Electrical Ltd have done a range of jobs for me, from initially testing the electrics in a recently purchased property to installing a new electrical heating system, along the way repairing some faults (including an immersion heater element) and connecting up new appliances. It has all been handled extremely well and efficiently by Dave (the boss) and Jonny (who came out on time and as arranged). They were both very helpful in providing information and helping me work out exactly what wanted doing, without any pressure or hard sell. Really pleased with the work and a pleasure to have had them involved. Many thanks!

Professional service, excellent work
We required significant upgrading of the lighting in our kitchen, installation of a new induction hob, and fitting of a new outside light. Dave, the director, visited us and took the time to get a good understanding of what we were looking to achieve. He made excellent recommendations, and checked our wiring to make sure everything was feasible. We felt very reassured by Dave's visit and the conversation we had, and were happy to proceed. The other Dave came to do the work on the date arranged. His skills, knowledge and workmanship were exemplary and he also pointed out a couple of improvements he could make to our existing contact breakers while he was working on our installation. We are very happy with the end results, and it was a pleasure dealing with the AEF team. I will use them again for any future requirements, and have no hesitation in recommending them.

I contacted AEF Electrical through the Which trusted trader facility. I was very impressed by their speed of response - within hours. They carried out the work - replacing a fluorescent light in the kitchen - at the time stated in their estimate. The job was completed quickly and with a minimum of mess. I then asked about the possibility of getting the fire alarms brought up to the new Scottish standard. Not only was I given an immediate estimate, but he was able to carry the work out immediately to the same standard as the other work. I have rarely been so impressed by a tradesman.

Fast Response - Great Service
Having been stood up by another electrician, I came out of the house to see the AEF van parked nearby. I called the mobile number & Ben came to assess the job during his lunch. He advised that even though it was a small job involving fitting a new switch and moving a light it would necessitate upgrading the fuse-board. I received an estimate within the day, and arranged for the work to be done when I returned from a few days away. On the day of the job, Ben turned up as agreed, and got straight down to work. The job was completed cleanly and efficiently. No hesitation in recommending.

Fast response, super attitude and excellent work
We have had two jobs recently carried out by Dave Norman's firm. AEF was amongst other electricians we called when work on the house uncovered some old mains wiring connected to new wiring which had been taped together in a way I wasn't sure was safe. We were under pressure as the wiring was under floorboards which were due to be sealed back down that day. Dave Norman responded positively and was able to arrange one of his team, Ozzie Dave, to visit within a few hours; he replaced the taped joins with a more secure and durable solution. Given the short notice, I felt the fee was fair; it bought peace of mind as well as a proper fix to the issue. The second job, a couple of weeks later, was a full EICR inspection of the property. Ozzie Dave was back. His work was professional, considerate and friendly throughout. He liaised with a joiner, also on-site, so that switch off the power supply from time to time did not stop the joiner using his power tools when required. I very much appreciated Dave's way of explaining things, the thoroughness of his work and his readiness to check and advise on things that were not strictly part of the EICR scope.

Contacting AEF I had immediate confirmation of my request and intended contacting me after returning from holiday. He arrived bang on time arranged and solved the problem which was not as easy as I had assumed all for a reasonable sum. I was totally impressed by the service and Dave Norman himself, going out of his way to attend a 'simple' problem to my utter satisfaction and in a manner which I was beginning to believe was long gone.

Contacted AEF for Landlord's Electrical Safety Test. Electrician arrived at appointed time, was helpful, communicative and efficient. A new consumer unit was required, and a low insulation resistance reading needed further investigation. A quote was received very promptly, agreed over the phone, and the work was completed without delay after the weekend, together with some additional sockets. All communication was clear and questions were answered in a straightforward manner. The work was completed neatly and efficiently, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. Happy with the price, although do not have much experience of prices for these jobs, and did not get other quotes as this contractor was highly recommended.

Exemplary service from a Top Quality Company
From first contact to completion of all electrical work within my house I cannot speak too highly of AEF Electrical. Friendly, easy to deal with, on time, smart, and most importantly carried out all work to a very high standard. On completion of the work they explained everything that they’d done and asked if we had any questions or concerns (which we did not). Finally, when they left you wouldn’t have known that they’d carried out major electrical work in the house, such was their standard of cleanliness. I would certainly use them again and would highly recommend them to friends and family.

Bedroom Rewiring
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.

Great customer service, quality work and unbeatable price. Will use again.
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.

Excellent job; prompt, neat and courteous!
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!

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.

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.

Had read previous reviews on here & can only echo the positive sentiments. Very flexible, reliable and reasonable prices - we have already had him back for more work and will do so again when required. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone & he fully deserves his excellent reputation.

When we moved into our house recently, the electrical system needed a thorough review and upgrade. We had to engage David Norman before he could survey the job and he readily allocated a full week some time in advance for our work. He along with his colleague Dave gave us a lot of sound advice on the way to proceed, the workmanship was excellent and jobs ranged from replacing lights to installing smoke alarms and a new fuse board. The final invoice was a very pleasant surprise. We thoroughly recommend AEF Electrical who are well worth their 5 star rating on Which Local.

I contacted AEF on recommendation from my parents after they carried out some extensive work to their new house, as we had a humming fuse box. David Norman called me straight away as he thought it might be a safety issue and he arranged for someone to be with us within 30 minutes. Cannot fault the service.

This electrician (David Norman) did a very competent job of replacing a faulty socket and earthing the recently installed cable head. David was a pleasant and helpful electrician. I would employ David again for other electrical work.

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.

Used David Norman week of 24/11/11 for a small job for dealing with some ceiling lights. He arrived promptly and dealt with the work efficently and charged very reasonably. I would be happy to use him again and recommend the firm to others.

I contacted AEF and David arranged a time to look at a couple of small electrical problems I had in a rental flat. He turned up when he said and fixed both problems there and then. Great service and value for money.

David upgraded our fuse board and did an excellent job. Arrived on time, explained how the new board would operate, and checked all circuits were functioning properly following installation. Would use him again and recommend him to others.

We just moved house and needed the electrics looked at as they were old. David came and was very polite and honest and gave us 3 options for improving the wiring . We knew we needed a complete rewire and David gave us a good price for the work needing done. He completed the job in the time he said he would and left the house very tidy. He did a great job and I would not hesitate to use him again.

David fitted a built-in oven for me, an outside socket and trace heating for a drain pipe which had been freezing up during the winter. He did the oven when he came to provide the estimate which was very helpful. He had to go away and source the trace heating but kept me informed of progress. He was also provided me with options for the outside socket. A very reliable electrician that I would highly recommend.

David carried out a thorough routine inspection of the electrical circuits in my flat. He phoned the day before the appointmant to confirm and was punctual and efficient. He rectified three minor problems on the spot and provided the written report on the installation there and then. He also gave me options for a future upgrade while making it clear that this was not a requirement on legal or safety grounds. I would happily employ him again.

I had some very old style light switches (in keeping with the house) which had failed, David managed to re-use all but one of them, trying different options to try and keep them if at all possible. I was very grateful for his approach and flexibility in trying to do what I wanted. Would very happily have him back if/when I have any further electrical work required.
