Connect Electric (Bury) Ltd

Recommended by a friend. Due to our roof being very old, we had to have a new roof done at the same time. Chris explained that we could have an inroof system that meant we wouldn't have to have as many tiles. Recommended a roofer who was also friendly and efficient. Panels were up and working in a week. A good explanation of the system and app was given. Teething problems were found and sorted out immediately. I always felt that I could contact Chris about anything and he was always prompt with his reply. I would certainly recommend him to anyone wanting Solar panels

I've got quotes from both local and national solar panel installers and Connect Electric was by far the best one for me - good communication from the start (not pushy like some of the others), matched other quotes, and supplied the specific equipment I was after (solar panels, inverter, battery). The quote was adhered to exactly with no deviation in price or components. The terms for the install were also much better than others I've read through. No subcontracting either - Chris was there for the site visit, and the installation. The on site survey was not rushed. Chris had both inspected the roof and the loft, explained the process, and was there to hear how I wanted the installation to look like, and where the components needed to go. He had also applied for the approval for solar energy export, and kept me in the loop throughout. The installation itself was very smooth. I was expecting not to have power for most of the day, for example, but it was only off for 10 minutes - amazing. With 3 people on site, everyone was keen to explain what they do, and follow any last minute requests from me. They also informed me that some of the tiles on the roof were damaged, and were kind enough to replace them with the ones I've provided - really going above and beyond! At the end of the day I had everything installed where and how I wanted, and the space was cleaned up. The handover documents were provided shortly after. Beautiful, professional service. Highly recommended.

Chris at Connect Electric responded quickly to our enquiry via the website and came to see us promptly. He talked through various options for sola panels and a battery, gave us lots of information and made suggestions of what would suit our needs. The quotation had 3 different options with all the information that allowed us to make an informed choice. The work was booked in and completed within 4 weeks of our initial enquiry. There were a couple of teething problems with the supplier but Chris sorted them out quickly and did not send his final invoice until both we and he were happy with how the whole system was working. Any query we have had has been responded to quickly and the aftercare has been great. We are really happy with our solar system and have already recommended Connect Electric to a couple of friends.

I used Connect Electric (Bury) Ltd after they were recommended by a friend. I found them very precise and professional in their approach and everything was explained. The installation was carried out quickly and I was very happy with the charger installation. I would not hesitate to recommend this company

We were provided with a quotation, which was adhered to. A couple of visits by Chris prior to signing contract to check measurements, Sun direction on the roof etc. A full assessment of benefits given for solar production over a 12m period giving an estimated payback period. Gave us two options for roof positions for the panels. Went ahead with panels, battery and inverter. Installed in one day within a couple weeks of signing contract. Very neat and tidy installation with no snags. Explanation given as to the Givenergy App etc. we received the necessary paperwork at the end of the day to enable us to approach our electricity provider to switch to a smart tariff. Full pack hand over pack received following day. Chris is very friendly and approachable, has is his workforce. All debris removed leaving the house, garden as they found it.

Chris is so knowledgeable and his ideas and solutions were so impressive. From initial presentation of ideas to installation the whole process was seamless and hassle free. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Savings have already been made and we can operate so much more efficiently. We would highly recommend Connect. Excellent service every step of the way.

Did a complete house rewire price was the most competitive of four others. We booked a four day break and left them to it. Pleasantly surprised when we returned first class job and very little disruption. Clean, concise, neat and everything clearly explained.

Chris' team fitted an EV charger. We asked for some advice as we weren't sure what to order as it was our first electric vehicle and he gave a great recommendation and was clear on price and timeframe. The team were super polite and really quick and professional and we would definitely recommend them.

My solar panels with Tesla battery had stopped generating and storing power. My original solar installer no longer deals with domestic customers so I contacted Chris Barker from Connect electric who came round the same afternoon. He spoke to Solar Edge and a software update had the solar panels generating the same day. Connect electric are not registered with Tesla but Chris still contacted them and found that the Powerwall battery had failed under warranty. I then asked Chris to fit a new larger battery while waiting for Tesla to recycle their failed unit. The new battery was fitted and commissioned without any issues. The entire process from first contact to final commissioning took place within three weeks. The pricing was extremely competitive and their was no deviation from the original quoted price. This is an exceptional company, professional, fast, extremely responsive with courtesy shown by all members of the team. I have no hesitation in recommending Connect electric and will use them in future for any solar or other issues which may occur in my home.

We had a solar PV and battery installed by Connect Electric who are excellent. Chris Barker visited and produced a detailed proposal which met our requirements and was good value. Chris was always contactable, friendly, and very helpful throughout the whole process. Installation was totally trouble free with scaffolding put up and all installation work completed in one day. This is a very experienced team who know what they are doing and get on with the job. All were friendly, helpful and did a good tidy up on completion. Chris then commissioned the system and explained the apps that are used to manage and monitor it. Everything was done to the agreed schedule and budget. We are delighted with our new solar battery system and were lucky enough that our first two days in November were sunny and we powered the house on solar.

Connect Electric quoted promptly and competitively for an appropriate Solar PV and storage solution. Installation was neat and all the details of notification, certification, building control and setting up the cloud account were attended to. Would not hesitate to recommend for any electrical work.

Chris and his team installed our solar panels and battery and we could not have been more impressed with the service. Chris is knowledgeable, fair and efficient. He responds to queries quickly and offered us a range of options to choose from. A 5-star service from beginning to end.

Chris and his team completed the installation of 11 PV panels on our roof, plus battery and all connections to our domestic circuits and the grid in just two days even though they were two very wet days. He explained everything thoroughly and the team were very respectful of our property. We were also impressed with the scaffolder that Chris uses. Chris completed all the paperwork for the local Building Control and Electricity Northwest, and for us it was a very straightforward process with no nasty surprises or costly extras. Now the work is finished Its great to put the kettle on and see no cost register on the smart meter. With a payback period of 5 to 8 years we feel that this is a well worthwhile investment.

Spoke to Chris and he came down straight away - within 5 mins he’d identified the problem and quoted me the same day. A few days later he was back to complete the work and did a fantastic job. I know solar panel maintenance is not something your average DIY Guy can do and so having an expert like Chris is invaluable. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.

My original inverter packed up. I contacted several companies only Connectelectric replied which they did in about 2 hours. I had a quote 24 hours later. Once the new inverter was delivered a fitting date was agreed 48 hrs later. Chris arrived on time and the job was completed speedily and efficiently. I would certainly use this company for any future electrical needs.

When our PV system failed our original installer would not come out so we contacted Connect Electric as they were a Trusted Trader. They came out quickly, diagnosed the fault (inverter gone). They explained the options (just replace inverter or add battery storage) but were not at all pushy which is not my experience of solar companies. They did the work replacing the inverter the week after, very quick and efficient. There was an initial callout fee but that was knocked off the installation cost of the new inverter. I would highly recommend them.

Chris and the team were professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Everything was explained, and the installation was tidy and very quick with little disruption. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Fitting a Solar Battery. the work was completed in 5 hours and was excellent workmanship with the engineers taking care with my special needs, I am blind. all communications clear and precise.

From start to finish the job was well explained and efficiently executed. Chris took time to discuss the various issues like the advantages of battery storage, the monitoring app etc. The installation took just over a day and the scaffolding was removed the next day. We were very happy with the result and we can observe the performance conveniently on the phone.

My previous solar developed a fault. Contacted a number of companies. Chris came on Sunday and sent a quote via email, which was the most competitive. He came and fitted, which only took him about ten minutes. Supplied all paperwork, and allowed me to pay with my credit card.

I am purchasing an electric car and wanted to have a home charger fitted. The car salespeople recommended Chris and I called him to arrange a meeting to discuss my requirements. He came to see me within a couple of days, supplied an estimate and turned up to do the work exactly at the agreed time. The charger was fitted with the minimum of fuss and I was delighted with the outcome. I would use Chris for any future work and highly recommend his services to anyone.

We are about to take delivery of a EV, and needed a EV charger installing. We found Connect on Google and contacted him. He came round with days to give a quote, fully explained the process and what was needed. Within two weeks of the first call it had been installed, Chris communicated throughout and double check things. Great service, Thanks Chris.

Very quick installation and efficient communication throughout. They also made it very hassle free as most of the paperwork was done by them.

We noticed that our old inverter was not performing. Connect Electric within minutes diagnosed/quoted and a week later rapidly fit a new inverter. Top class service. Many thanks.

Chris recently renewed an 'Inverter' for my system which had stopped working. He was easy to contact, came and investigated the problem quickly. Quoted the repair and ordered and fitted the new part very promptly.

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.

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.

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!

Great quality and thorough job. They were flexible and helpful getting our rewire completed and completing certificates.

Chris gave me the best price and was a day to order the inverter and fitted the same day the unit arrived. System back up and running 5 star.

Very fast and efficient service. Price is reasonable. Good communication. Highly recommended. One happy customer.

After contacting Chris about a problem with our solar panel readings he came to house checked everything over and found the fault with in half an hour problem sorted up and running. Very professional from time of contact to end of job. Thanks Chris

Chris was personable and knew his stuff. Professional, knowledgeable and prompt. Completed work from inspection of system to installation in the minimum timeframe. Work completed at reasonable cost. Will use again for any future electrical work and will recommend to friends.

My Solar panels stopped producing electricity.Prompt service at reasonable cost, helpful and communicative.Recommended.

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.

Chris is my number one go to electrician. He knows his stuff, is punctual and provides a high quality of workmanship. He is also very reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Excellent service. I contacted Connect Electric because my mother who lives in Bury needed the bathroom light replaced urgently. The work was done the same afternoon. Efficient and good value.

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.

Chris and his team are fantastic…very trustworthy and reliable.Know exactly what they are doing and reasonable on price.Stick to what they agree.When a tradesman has the knowledge and experience to work quicker then he can afford to charge less which is where Chris shines.If you are looking for a reliable professional electrician then look no further. Worth waiting for.

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.

From first contact to completion of the job I was impressed by the professionalism and pleasant, polite approach which I encountered. Information was clear and the job was completed in record time. A reasonable charge for a fast, neat piece of work. Highly recommended.

Chris and his team fully rewired our new home. They also fitted outside lights and an alarm system. They were professional in their work and completed the jobs in the agreed timescale. The price quoted for the work did not change. Fully recommended.

Chris and his team were a pleasure to deal with and fitted out solar panels quickly and were very clean and tidy. The fittings are all secure and professionally fitted. I am impressed that Chris has a real and committed interest to alternative clean energy sources. He has integrity in this developing area. He is a decent bloke.

Chris was a pleasure to deal with. The detailed quote was competitive and value for money. Communication was excellent, providing all relevant information and keeping us informed as he went along. They worked extremely hard in very challenging weather conditions and kept to their price. We just need some sunshine now!!

I have used Chris and his team a number of times, his work is always of the highest quality, often taking the time to make every effort to ensure the job is not just done well, but above expectations. I would highly recommend them

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!
