PowerSource Electrical: NICEIC-registered electrical work across Edinburgh and the Lothians

PowerSource Electrical Ltd is an electrical contracting firm based at Unit 37 in the IMEX Business Centre on Dryden Road, Loanhead, Midlothian. The company describes itself as NICEIC-registered and states that it works on Edinburgh homes ranging from Georgian townhouses and New Town flats to newer developments and rental properties. Its stated coverage area is Edinburgh, the Lothians and nearby, with named areas including Bruntsfield, Morningside, New Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Corstorphine, Colinton, Trinity, West End, Portobello, Dalkeith, Penicuik and Grange.

The firm presents itself as a small, direct team, arguing that callers reach someone familiar with the job rather than a call centre. It also states that quotes are fixed and that certification paperwork is filed on completion.

Rewires with integrated plastering

Full house rewires are one of the company's core services. PowerSource describes a complete system overhaul that includes chasing the walls, running the cables and plastering so that surfaces are left paint-ready, handled by a single contractor and invoiced once. The company states it has delivered more than 120 domestic rewires.

EICR and electrical testing for landlords and homeowners

Electrical Installation Condition Reports are another main line of work, aimed at landlords, homeowners and businesses, with same-week appointments advertised. PowerSource reports more than 450 EICRs completed and describes itself as a landlord compliance specialist. On the legal frequency in Scotland, the company states that private rental properties require an EICR at least every five years or at the start of any new tenancy, while homeowners are advised to test every ten years or when buying or selling a property.

EV chargers and heat pump electrics

The company is an OZEV-approved EV charger installer and carries out home and workplace installations, stating that it handles grant and funding paperwork on the customer's behalf. It also covers the electrical side of air source heat pumps, from supply upgrades to wiring and sign-off.

Commercial and developer work

For builders and developers, PowerSource offers electrical delivery from first fix through to final certification, framed as commercial infrastructure work.

How the process is presented

• Survey and fixed quote: the job is assessed on-site or by video and a single fixed price is issued, without hourly estimates.
• Scheduled delivery: work starts on a confirmed date with a named electrician on site throughout.
• Certificate and sign-off: each job closes with the corresponding NICEIC paperwork, which the company files for the client.
• Record keeping: the firm retains a record of the work so that a future EICR or job starts with the full history.

Credentials and response commitment

Alongside its NICEIC registration, the company lists OZEV approval and full insurance cover of £10 million commercial. It states that a certificate is available on request and that every job carries the relevant BS 7671 documentation. For emergencies, PowerSource advertises a 180-minute response, aiming to attend within that window when something goes wrong; for urgent matters it asks customers to call, and it aims to respond within 180 minutes during working hours.

On pricing, the company does not publish figures. It explains that a full house rewire depends on factors such as property size, layout, the state of the existing electrical system and whether integrated plastering is requested, and that a fixed-price quote is issued accordingly.
