Steven and the team have now fitted an EV charger and a solar panel and battery system at our house, on both occasions work has been carried out on time and to a high standard with the team being friendly and polite while they're working. Steven provides helpful advice on the best way to install the systems throughout, thinking through the best way to route cables etc without disrupting the house! Thoroughly recommended.

Solar panels and batteries installed and no hassle at all. The roofer was good and the electrical work was neat and tidy which were the two things I worried about with the other suppliers that I looked at. Stevie was very responsive and answered all our queries. An established and reliable company that do what they say.

Recommended to me by a friend for a solar Installation and I have to say, they were amazing to deal with from start to finish. They took plenty of time understanding our usage as a family and planning the install accordingly, and now the system is live, I can see how much this has paid off. I haven't paid for electricity in the six weeks it's been in and have made over 100.00 back from export as well.
The guys always turned up on time the work is all really neat. The roofer even fixed a couple of panels and removed a load of old sky coax cabling for us while was working on the roof. They also took the time to monitor the install and make a few final tweaks over the first few days. Really happy with the work and saving a small fortune. Very Happy

I was looking for someone to install a car charger for me. Steven at Capital City responded straight away to my call and we extremely helpful talking me through the process of installation and applying for the grants available. He fitted us in the following week and as I was at work when he came he rang me and sent photos of what he was doing to make sure I was happy with where he was putting the charging point. I can't recommend them enough as they were extremely helpful and very pleasant to deal with. I would definitely use them again for any other electrical work that I need done.

Capital City Electrical Services did a brilliant job rewiring my flat. They provided a clear and full quote for the necessary work, avoiding false economies and also avoiding the expense of work I'd suggested but which was not really necessary. They provided the quote quickly and started work soon after I accepted it. Their workmen were hard working, polite and friendly, and they cleared up thoroughly after themselves.
They worked quickly and efficiently, and the work they did was top quality. The price for the work was fair and reasonable. Their boss was easy to deal with, helpful and keen to please. It was a delight to deal with this firm, and I will certainly use them again. Highly recommended.

Excellent, professional, high quality installation of top quality 7.4Kw EV charger We needed a charger for a hybrid car which qualified for the UK Government grant. We found Capital City Electrical Ltd, specialists in residential and commercial electrical installations, and on the UK Government list of approved installers of EV chargers. They install the highest quality 7.4Kw chargers. Communication excellent, questions answered constructively, date for the work agreed quickly. Electrical work and installation is cosmetically excellent, setup and testing of the system perfect.
The charger is fantastic, professionally installed, links with our internet hub and an app for full control, and can be linked to solar panels. Paperwork completed professionally: quotation, specification, grant advice and documentation, invoicing, receipt, and Electrical Installation Certificate. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found Capital City Electric Ltd. We strongly recommend this company. We would definitely do business with them again.

Steven and team just completed a full re-wire on our house. From start to finish, they did a great job. With a competitive quote, and good recommendations on where stuff could go/what would work best, they completed the fairly mammoth task with little disruption to the house. Thanks guys :- Highly recommended if you're looking for reliable, friendly and professional electricians in Edinburgh!

We used Capital City Electrical to do pretty much a full re-wire of our house. The guys were really helpful in the run up to the job by telling us what they will do and what we can do to make the job easier. Things like moving furniture and clearing rooms. Some flooring had to come up but they managed to keep this to a minimum which was great. The end result was excellent and very price competitive. Stevie was on hand after the majority of the work was done to resolve some snagging issues really promptly. Good communication during the job as we were on holiday and always easy to get hold of. Would definitely recommend.

Spotlights put in, new sockets added and existing sockets replaced. Capital City Electrical were very professional and did an excellent job. They gave good advice on other electrical work that we needed doing and were always very courteous and able to be flexible around the plasterer and decorators that we had in too. We would highly recommend Capital City Electrical.

The team at Capital City Electrical are great and I would highly recommend using them. They've done a couple of jobs for me over the past few months, from sorting out lights in stairwells to ensuring all checks/certificates were in place for renting my flat out. They are very reliable and their pricing is competitive.

I had several minor electrical jobs needing done around the flat. I'm relatively new to Edinburgh and Capital City came recommended, and they didn't disappoint. The guys were very friendly and helpful, and even fixed a few non electrical bits and pieces outside of what I requested. Will definitely use again!

I recently got my kitchen fitted and Ricky and Stevie were superb. They fitted all the fittings to a high standard and the spot lights they fitted were fantastic. They also changed my old worn out fuse board for a brand new one. This was all done very professionally and for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend using Capital City Electrical.

I have used this company since 2010. They have done a whole re-wire on 2 flats that I own. They are very experienced and do a great job. They supply all the necessary paperwork to comply with legislation. They have recently put in wired smoke detectors required now by law in my rental flats. They are also very reliable and trustworthy as with my rental flats I just provide them with keys and they get on with the job themselves. They tidy up after they finish and are very polite and get on with their work to a high standard. I will be using them in the future for other renovations and work on my flats.
