Reviewers of BB Electrical often describe Ben and his team as knowledgeable, professional and polite, with several saying the work was neat and tidy and that systems were explained clearly. Multiple customers report solar panels, battery storage and EV chargers being installed and working well, and some mention being helped to understand and use the system afterwards. One reviewer says Ben moved other work to deal with a semi-urgent electrical fault, and another reports a same-day response to a power failure. One reviewer reports a 1-star experience with an air conditioning job, saying the work was left incomplete, the bill was unclear and not itemised, and Ben later did not answer calls.
Very professional from start to finish. The Team were great to have on site and completed the work as agreed. Made us feel that we were in very safe hands. Recommended to us and have been recommended to family and friends. After installation support has also been exceptional too. Thank you Team!
Ben and the team at BB Electrical & Renewables installed our 10kW solar system, dual batteries, gateway, and EV charger. Expertise: Ben was knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy from day one. Workmanship: The installation was exceptionally neat, efficient, and finished to the highest standard. Performance: Everything runs perfectly. Could not recommend them more highly!
BB Electrical installed a 7.2kWp solar panel system and a 10kWh Sigenergy battery storage system at my home in Fareham, Hampshire, and also connected an existing air source heat pump. If you're looking for a solar installer in the Fareham, Portsmouth or wider Hampshire area, I can't recommend them highly enough. I was extremely pleased with the experience from start to finish. Ben is very knowledgeable and credible when it comes to solar PV and battery system design, and quickly understood my priorities. As an engineer, I can be a discerning customer — specifying systems is where my own expertise lies — but I really appreciated Ben's technical knowledge, the way he explained the benefits of the solar and battery setup he'd designed, and the detailed figures on energy savings and payback that satisfied me this was the right renewable energy installation for our needs. BB Electrical were flexible with installation dates and accommodated various requests to work around my schedule. The installation team — Ben, Jake and Matt — were respectful, polite and a pleasure to have onsite during what was a very hot and challenging week for them. They communicated well, were punctual and kept everything tidy throughout. The quality of workmanship on both the solar panel installation and battery storage is excellent: everything is neatly installed and working perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone in Hampshire considering solar panels, home battery storage or heat pump integration.
Excellent service from BB Electrical & Renewables. Ben and his team installed a 10kW solar & battery storage system with two batteries, a gateway, and an EV charger. From the start, Ben was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to trust. The installation was neat, efficient, and completed to a high standard. Everything is working perfectly, highly recommend.
Ben from BB Electrical did a brilliant job, from the initial conversation and advice on what was required to the installation of the Ohme EV charger install. Great service would highly recommend John
Ben and the BB Electrial team were fantastic for all our needs, providing expert recommendations, flawless implementation, on-the-job flexibility, and friendly service. We will definitely be using them again for future needs. They earned our confidence.
Very happy with BB Electrical. Clearly explained system. Competitive price and arrived promptly on site as promised. Good professional work
Ben and his team recently installed and EV point for us and I can't recommend this company enough. From the very outset the communication whether by phone or email was exemplary. When they turned up on the agreed date they were punctual, well turned up, did the install and even cleaned up after themselves! We would highly recommend BB Electrical in a heartbeat. 5 star all day long.
Ben and the team installed a 7 kW solar PV system with an energy diverter and 18 kWh of battery storage for us. It’s the second time we’ve used BB Electrical and once again they were brilliant - professional, efficient, and clearly very experienced. Highly recommend Ben and the team!
From the very first contact with Ben and his team at BB Electrical, we felt completely assured we were in safe hands. Ben’s experience in the industry really shone through, and he took the time to clearly explain the whole process, from design to installation. We had a Hanchu 6kW inverter, 2 x 9.4kWh batteries, a Zappi EV charger, and an Eddi energy diverter installed, and the whole job was carried out with exceptional attention to detail. The workmanship is second to none.. neat, professional, and thoughtfully finished. What really stood out was the team’s professionalism, reliability, and pride in their work. Ben’s knowledge and advice gave us total confidence throughout, and the pricing was very competitive compared to others we’d spoken with. We couldn’t be happier with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BB Electrical to anyone considering solar, EV charging, or energy storage solutions. A brilliant job from start to finish! Thank you Ben and the rest of the team!!
Ben and Matt did a great job. Ben was quick to respond to my calls and ensured that he performed a thorough survey before the installation. They ensured that the scaffolding was installed a few days before they arrived to fit 15 x 465 W panels, a 6 kW inverter and 2 x 9.4kWh batteries. All parts were Hanchu. The installation was done efficiently with no mess left. Ben did a hand over after commissioning the system. We are extremely pleased to now be getting free electricity during these summer days. The panels consistently output over 40 kWhs per day at the moment. Looking forward to the export payments next.
Ben is a first rate electrician. He has provided an excellent service to me over the years fixing and installing everything from testing electrics, installing timers, fixing heaters and most recently replacing my kitchen hob and my living room lighting. He is punctual and has a very high standard of workmanship at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend him to you for any electrical work. Thank you Ben.
Ben is everything you would hope for when you have a issue with your electrics. He arrived the same day to diagnose the issues and then booked us in the next day to resolve. He moved some other work around as our issue was semi urgent. He arrived on time, friendly, courteous, efficient and honoured his original quote. I would recommend him to anyone and will certainly use him again.
I recently had solar PV, battery storage, and an EV charger installed at my home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The electricians were incredibly kind, professional, and friendly throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable with the setup before they left. The installation was done efficiently and to a high standard, and the team left the area clean and tidy. I highly recommend BB Electrical to anyone considering renewable energy solutions.
Employed BB Electrical to carry out a scheduled Electrical Inspection Condition Report for our warehouse unit @ Bournemouth Steel. The inspection and all remedial works were completed in good time, they were tidy, courteous and did an excellent job. New 3 phase consumer unit installed with galvanised containment and re-wiring where necessary. Would definitely recommend
Ben is a great electrician and fantastic business owner.. he quoted a price and installed a new hybrid solar system.. had it all up and running same day..I had issues with my app( my phone lol ) he didn't leave till i had all working.. He was recommended to me by a friend who had had same system and have already passed on his number to several of my friends.. cheers Ben.. good man Andy hall Inverter lux hybrid 3.6 and 3x 3.2 hanchu batteries. And I'm saving loads now.. using all generated.. and still exporting.. wish done years ago
Very happy with the work Ben and his colleague carried out. Ben explained the whole process and went out of his way to contact my supplier regarding FIT as well. Recommended.
Great service from BB Electrical. We were looking to get solar panels for our home. Ben came out and took the time to explain the system to us and gave a very thorough quote. The work was completed to a very high standard and the team were professional throughout. We are delighted with our new solar panels and are already enjoying the benefits.
Called Ben on early Sunday morning as we had a power failure issue with all our sockets in the house, he attended within a few hours, found the problem and temporarily solved it. I am so pleased we found him. (Just for the record; I tried 8 other emergency electricians which either did not pick up or return my call, or fobbed me of with well too private excuses) Ben is due back to rewire our kitchen and I am actually looking forward to it. Ben was polite and respectful and I have no hesitation to recommend him!
Solar panels and batteries.......... What a great company. From initial contact and planning, utterly professional. Ben quite obviously sought to provide what was required rather than pushing for a bigger order, rare these days! Cracked on with the work. Super fast, very tidy and very conscientious. Price wise BB Electrical supplied a bigger system then others for similar money. Without a doubt I would have no hesitation about recommending this company. Deal with them, you won't be disappointed.
Ben and the guys were amazing thank you all so much. Absolute superstars
Ben and Luke, his apprentice, were very professional throughout the installation of Solar Panel and battery installation. The preparatory work was undertaken thoroughly and all the stages were explained. We are very pleased with the work undertaken and would happily recommend them to any future customers as they were punctual, polite and efficient.
DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! We wanted our new air conditioning to be connected. Ben worked for 3 days, had not completed the work and then sent us an extortionate bill which was unclear and not itemised. He refused to complete the work until we paid this, as he claimed to have purchased materials and needed this cost to be covered. We reluctantly paid and now Ben has called in sick and not answered any calls. We have been left ripped off and with no air-conditioning. On top of this, when on site he parked on the pavement resulting in him receiving a parking fine which he expected us to pay! Unprofessional and untrustworthy.
I used BB electrical to install a Solar Pv and battery storage system. I will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend their services to anybody.They helped me set up the system after they had installed it and helped me to fully understand how to use my system, taking time out of there day to give the best customer service. They was on time, polite, tidy and easy to contact for when I had a query. They advised me on the most efficient way of using my renewable energy system to help keep my energy prices down. GREAT COMPANY
We employed BB Electrical again to install our electric car charging point, solar panels and do a partial rewire on our home. After our last experience this was an easy decision to make. Polite, courteous and punctual as always and extremely high standard of work. Very happy again. Thanks Ben.
Ben has done an amazing job recently with repositioning some switches/ sockets for us after a refurbishment. Very reliable, Highly recommended! thank you Ben
Ben is brilliant, he fitted the wiring and isolators for 2 heat pumps. Was tidy, friendly and did a great job. Would definitely recommend and use again.
On Saturday our power tripped, and when switching it back on we noticed an awful smell coming from our airing cupboard. In a panic that it might be the start of an electrical fire, we switched the heating system off immediately and called up Ben. He was extremely honest about prices, and suggested we kept the heating system off until Monday where his fees are cheaper. When he came over, he waited with us to see if there was an issue with the heating system. When the fuse blew (making us all jump out of our skin!), he helped us find a new programmer online (as it was over 20 years old and we wanted to eliminate that as an issue) and said to call him once it arrived so he could install it. Ben also took the time to check out our hot water storage tank, and found fault in our immersion heater. He then recommended a plumber and wrote notes down for us to discuss with them from what he had found. Ben provides a great, honest service, and we would highly recommend!
Awesome levels of service, professionalism, punctuality, flexibility and tidiness. We were nervous picking an electrician to do work on our newly purchased apartment, but we needn't have been with Ben. He did everything we asked and was also able to recommend a plumber and AV specialist. Cannot recommend BB Electrical highly enough and would definitely suggest you give Ben a call to get good old fashioned customer service from a genuinely local business at a fair price.
Very happy with the job, Ben is nice and polite, fixed my lights in the living room and dining room job was done quick and efficient
Just had Ben from BB Electrical out to fix a few home made issues we managed to create. Super helpful from booking, calling ahead & being so thorough, even though it was a bit of a mystery what we had even managed to do! Problem all sorted & really appreciate his help! Will use again in future - thanks!
Ben was excellent, professional, on time and courteous. Changed lighting dimmer and did an electrical condition report for us. He even fixed my son's electric toothbrush! Would recommend and use again.
Really great service - sorted out a light in our hall with old wiring. Completed quickly and efficiently! Thanks very much!
Very helpful, sorted the issue within the hour. Nothing I can find fault on, recommended
Great standard of work, good response time. Happy to use again.
Always punctual and never ever worries about pushing that little further for his clients. Quality is spot on and attitude is perfect
Very good fast friendly service would definitely recommend and use again
Good work and never once felt like I was getting ripped off on the work done on my property
Highly recommended, I’ve had many electrics done by EE electrical and every time I’ve received a outstanding, friendly and efficient service.
Fitted my electrical appliances and has done various work for me. Curtious & friendly. Good quality of work. Would recommend
