Solar Inverter problem
On first contact, Chris was very helpful over the telephone when our solar panel meter tripped out. A simple reset solved the problem initially but the same problem happened a couple of days later and it became apparent there was an inverter problem. Chris arrived the next morning and reviewed the system. The inverter had failed completely. He was pleasant and helpful in explaining the problem and the solution and what was involved and his quote for a new inverter arrived that same evening. He ordered the new inverter and a couple of days later on receipt came along to fit it. Chris provided a good value, prompt and efficient service. What was perceived to possibly be a huge problem was dealt with in a competent, capable manner. The service was very satisfactory.

Easy from start to finish
Chris Barker at Connect Electric has made the process of having a charge point for our new EV Car a very easy process, he organised the paperwork form start to finish to gain the government grant to reduce the cost of the install, gave me three options of intelegent charge boxes and recomended one of then based on his experience. he did a pre inspection to our property to so he could give me an accurate quotation for the install. the two installers came well presented and wearing face masks to our property (Covid 19) they were very polite and asked me exactly where I would like the charge point on our wall. they did a clean installation and removed all the materials from the area, they then showed me how us use the charger and get the most out of it via the app, they made sure I was happy and 2 cups of coffee later job done and paid for. I will be using these guys again for our next house as well as for other electrical work we will probably need, I couldn't recommend Chris Barker and Connect Electric highly enough.

Spot on!
Connect Electric were recommended to us by a friend for our full house rewire and I am glad we took the recommendation. The pricing was fair, the communications were good and when work was booked in to start, it actually did. Chris has done a brilliant job of the rip out and replace, including fixing the less than ideal electrical feed that was done in the fairly newly built conservatory, running new feeds in for the range cooker, mains powered fire alarms, external lighting and so on. Chris was flexible with us on the rewire, we were having a kitchen installed but there was a delay in the kitchen delivery due to covid-19 we had to put that part of the job on hold until it was delivered, when the kitchen was finally in he came back and finished the install with no complaints. No request was too much trouble, from start to finish Chris was a complete professional and kept the considerable mess generated to a minimum, anyone whose had to have their house rewired will know this is a challenge!

Excellent customer service, value and performance quality
I needed my solar panel system to be removed and stored, to enable roofing replacement, then replaced over the new roof covering. My chosen roofing contractor could not do or arrange this. I located Chris via Which? Trusted Traders and he impressed from the outset. He returned my call promptly. He made sure he understood what I needed. He gave me substantial reassurance with his obvious knowledge and earlier experience of the work involved. He gave clear directions about site requirements necessary for the job.He gave me honest statements about availability and a good value quote. Both have been fully honoured. He undertook to liaise with the roofing contractor and managed this to mutual satisfaction at all key stages. Most importantly, his work has been excellent. He was punctual, presented well did his job promptly and properly and kept me informed of the relevant stages. I am pretty sure he will now be my first call/go-to electrician. Highest recommendation.

Excellent, professional work
We asked Connect Electric, in the person of Chris Barker, to fix solar panels to our property in Leigh, having experienced excellent service at a similar property in Little Hulton last year. From start to finish on both jobs Chris was completely professional and cheerful and, in the case of the Leigh property, helped us find a roofer to re-roof. I can thoroughly recommend him as a worker who does what he says, arrives on time, and does his very best to make everything as easy as possible for the customer.

We use Connect whenever we have electric jobs to be done - always good advice, fast and comprehensive. Would definitely recommend them for any electric job big or small. Our latest was for a kitchen rewire but they have also done smaller jobs - always the same great service.

Chris installed an outdoor light, put in two new plug sockets and fixed my aerial as well as moving my tv onto a different wall. When you are looking for traders to do work they can take ages to get back to you if at all. Chris got back to me very quickly and carried out the work professionally and efficiently. I was really pleased with the quality of finish. I can only have good words to say about connect electric.

New House Alarm & Lights
I couldn't be more happy with the guys from Connect Electric. They fitted my new house alarm with no mess, no fuss and walked me the installation process so it was clear from the start. They also fitted my ceiling lights throughout the house and cleared each room after they were finished. Great service with a great price!

We have had solar panels installed on both our own and our Daughter & Son-in -law's houses by Chris and are all very pleased with the results and by the speed and ease of installation. Chris has also totally re-wired one house and done electrical work on the other. We were extremely satisfied with the work done and the cost was very competitive. We would not hesitate to recommend him and will certainly be using his company again.

Competent efficient and thorough!
I called Chris out, for the first time today. Himself and his colleague, John, were able to come round within a couple of hours and I was delighted with their work. Having an eight month old daughter, I was so thankful that they were able to diagnose and fix the problem so promptly. I found them to be extremely competent, highly efficient and friendly, all at an extremely competitive rate. I would highly recommend Connect Electric.
