Mr. Electric

Mr. Electric, network of domestic and commercial electricians in the United Kingdom

Mr. Electric is an electrical services network operating in the United Kingdom through a franchise system. The company serves both individuals and businesses and presents itself as an emergency electrician service available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with no callout charge. Its activity dates back to 1997, the year from which it claims to have been meeting the electrical needs of British customers, and its franchise model allows it to maintain a national network of local electricians.

Services for businesses

The commercial area covers electrical installations and maintenance, electric vehicle charging, security and safety, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and standby generation, Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), commercial lighting, national accounts and PAT testing. The company states that its emergency electricians typically respond within 45 minutes to commercial enquiries and that work is carried out with minimal disruption to the business. It serves everyone from sole traders and startups to SMEs and FTSE 100 companies, and offers the possibility of integrating air conditioning, heating and refrigeration into a package tailored to each client. It also mentions the key account option for businesses that meet the requirements.

Services for homes and homeowners

In the domestic sphere, the offering includes rewiring, upgrades and home improvements, electrical repairs, electric vehicle charging points, electric heaters, periodic electrical testing and inspection, home lighting and home automation. The company also offers specific services for landlords.

Fixed pricing and national coverage

The firm highlights fixed pricing on all its services, which allows work to be budgeted, along with free quotes, fast response and trained staff. It presents itself as a national brand with local service: the electricians in its network handle calls throughout the United Kingdom and the company maintains a search tool to locate the nearest professional.

Disclosed activity and projects

Among the entries on its blog are its collaboration with the British parcel delivery company DPD in the rollout of its electric vehicle fleet, guides on electric vehicle charging and on EICR reports, as well as content on the mandatory electrical inspection regulations planned for 2020 and on UK government grants for charging points. The company also published messages about the precautions taken during the Covid-19 pandemic, stating that it continued to operate as a designated service for essential workers.

Structure and franchises

Mr. Electric operates under a franchise system that supports its national network of electricians. The company is part of the Dwyer group, which also owns the Mr. Electric, Aire Serve and Drain Doctor brands, through Dwyer (UK Franchising) Limited, along with Bright & Beautiful UK Limited and Countrywide Grounds Maintenance Limited.
