Heron Electrical: electrical and renewable energy contracting from Wetherby

Heron Electrical Ltd is an electrical and renewable energy contractor based at Knight House, 2 Sandbeck Court in Wetherby, West Yorkshire. The company presents itself as a specialist in renewable energy and states that it works for homeowners, developers, businesses and commercial organisations across the UK, combining electrical installation work with solar and low-carbon technologies.

Its own account cites more than 15 years of proven experience and more than 1,000 installations completed, alongside nine industry accreditations and four sectors served. The firm describes an in-house team that handles projects from first consultation through to certification and after-sales support.

Services: from electrical work to solar, heat pumps and EV charging

The service range listed on the site covers both conventional electrical contracting and renewable technologies:

• Electrical installation work
• Solar PV for domestic customers
• Commercial solar PV
• Air source heat pumps (ASHP)
• Battery storage systems
• EV charging installation

Alongside these, the company offers a free, no-obligation consultation in which it assesses a customer's energy requirements and proposes a tailored solar solution.

How a project is run

Heron Electrical emphasises that it manages every stage of a project in-house. The process it describes begins with a consultation and quotation intended to give an accurate price from the outset, followed by planning and design of a custom electrical plan focused on efficiency and safety. The work is then implemented and tested to confirm performance, and the company provides after-service support once installation or repair work is finished.

Commercial clients and sectors served

The company reports working with a portfolio of clients in construction, facilities management and renewable energy, on projects ranging from commercial solar PV and battery storage to EV charging infrastructure and electrical installations. It lists the industries it serves as retail and hospitality; manufacturing and industrial; agriculture and farming; healthcare and education; and office buildings and commercial complexes.

Three projects are presented as case studies: Newitts, described as a transition to renewable energy; Douglas House, where a solar PV system was developed for the facility on the recommendation of Andrew Garner; and St Gemma's Hospice, which commissioned a custom solar PV solution to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.

Company history and team

Heron Electrical was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic by David, who initially carried out electrical work for local builders and homeowners. As demand grew, he brought in Ben, with whom he had previously worked in the solar industry. The two started as a team working on the tools while subcontracting to several solar companies in the renewable energy sector, and the business expanded to 15 engineers within two years.

David and Ben, identified as founder and managing directors, later began supplying and installing solar systems directly for domestic customers while taking on a growing number of commercial projects. In 2022 the company opened its first office and warehouse and recruited office staff. It now reports more than 40 engineers and an office team of eight, and continues to partner with several national solar providers in the UK while delivering renewable energy solutions directly to homeowners and commercial clients.
