Absolute first class service, would highly recommend! Thanks once again to the team.
Always great. Professional, tidy, great people. Fully recommend.
Superb piece of work - I thought we would need a really complicated piece of finagling but Resistance came up with a solution which was fantastic and hidden from view. Great job!
Excellent communication with Tom, he came to resolve some issues previously discovered, and was very efficient. Thank you!
Resistance Electrical were brilliant from start to finish - friendly and efficient with quotes and booking us in, and Edvin was great at installing our lights and explained what he was doing - making sure we were happy with everything. Would 100% recommend and will be asking them to do future electrical work.
Even though they are very busy Edvin or Tom always find the time to be helpful and turn up . Highly recommended .
Fantastic work from Edwin and the team as ever
Always a great service, highly recommend!
My go-to electrician. Professional, good value, efficient, reliable and helpful.
Friendly, professional, showed up when they said they would, were able to very quickly identify the problem (and explain it clearly!) and fix it. Would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone.
Gave Edvin a list of electrical jobs that had some challenges and he tackled them amazingly well. Was very quick and efficient and very reasonable. Would use use him again for all our electrical needs and issues.
Very satisfied with the work carried out for a dimmer switch and a new shaving point fitted would definitely use again.
Always excellent! They are my go to electricians and I can wholeheartedly recommend them (in fact, I already did to a number of friends!). Very professional, every job is always very clean and excellently done, and prices are very reasonable!
Brilliant. Really happy with the work carried out in January. The guys were really friendly, professional, and did an excellent job installing a new extractor fan in our bathroom. I will definitely use Resistance Electrical in the future, highly recommend.
Nice guy, quick tidy job running electricity to a garden room. decent price. will use again.
Really helpful - first time buyers, with 0 electrical know how. Installed our induction oven quickly. And looked at all our dodgy wiring, gave honest advice (not upselling unnecessary jobs) and put our minds at peace! Will use again!!!!
extractor fans fitted. First class job and easy communication.
Tom at Resistance Electrical did a fantastic job sorting out our business electrics. We would highly recommend, thanks Tom!
Fantastic service. I had a relatively urgent job at home to wire-in a new cooker and circuit breaker. An almost immediate and friendly call from Tasha who took the details and got someone to call and discuss the job. I received a quote within days and the work was done soon after. Really friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. No hesitation in recommending.
We had our house rewired and it was brilliant an highly professional from start to finish. Edvin communicated with us throughout and was really clear about what the work entailed. He was positive and reassuring, and we felt confident it was well planned and the work was carefully carried out. They did everything when they said they would and got it done in the timeframes they said. They clearly take care and pride in what they do. We couldn’t have asked for more or had a better experience.
We are repeat customers for Edvin and Tasha. They provide a reliable service at fair prices. Happy to recommend Resistance for electrical jobs around Brighton.
Great job, on time, nice guy.
Competitive price, turned up on time, neat job!
Good communication and efficient service throughout. Thank you very much for all your help!
Tom and team are fantastic. Professional and really excellent electricians. I can highly recommend them.
Tom was friendly and easy to communicate with, did a great job of supplying & installing LED bay lighting in the auditorium of the Ropetackle Arts Centre, Shoreham-by-Sea. Very competitive pricing, highly recommended.
I’m so happy with what I’ve received. Resistance Electrical were an affordable solar company and also the most knowledgeable on their product. The finished panels look amazing as it was important for me for them to look great as well as saving me money. Tom took great care around my house and fully delivered. I can’t recommend enough!!
Edvin is simply the best. He is thorough, clean, speedy and constantly communicates options to make sure we ended up with the exact result we wanted. We cannot recommend him enough.
Fantastic electricians! Very efficient, friendly and tidy. Highly recommend
Resistance Electrical have been thoroughly professional and efficient installing the solar panel system. The team were polite and worked quickly. I recommend this company.
A smooth process from start to finish, Tom was patient with all my questions about solar and batteries. Neat, clean work. Highly recommended.
Edvin was great, he was respectful and polite. Edvin has been fantastic as setting expectations from the offset and communicating very well. He organised with me the date and time in advance which really suited us too. The new circuit implementation was done well, promptly and carefully with minimum impact to our business in opening hours. Thank you very much Edvin.
I am a chartered electical power engineer but i don't have sufficient mobility to do wiring any more, so I wanted a company to install some additional solar panels and connect a workshop. I was amazed at the attention to detail these guys did. It was a perfect install of a steel wire armour cable into a new outbuilding and the removal of dangerous fittings in a swimming pool house. They fitted the correct equipment and the containment was really good. I had costed out what i wanted doing and they pretty much matched my estimate so there was no stupid massive profit. These guys are fully trained and apprenticed electicians. You can't go wrong with them. I have asked them to quote for some commercial work we are doing and I look forward to working with them again. `10/10
Edvin from Resistance Electrical was brilliant. He arrived right on time, was so friendly and easy to deal with, and left everything tidy. He quickly sorted out the problem, went out of his way to get the parts we needed, and came back to finish the job without any fuss. It all felt really straightforward and stress-free. We’ll definitely use Resistance Electrical again — highly recommended!
Excellent service, again - thoughtful, polite, efficient!
All round great experience and already using them again for further work. Fair price. Friendly, polite and professional. Very pleased with the result.
I don't normally leave reviews but in this case i think it is warrented. Resistance Electrical were great from beginning to end. Edvin who carried out the initial survey and consequent work was really thorough,helpful and explained and dealt with the problems which arose!. I would definitely recommend this company and will use again if the need arises.Thank you Resistance.
The main task was to install squirrel-proof netting to my solar panel installation. This was completed in two parts to avoid disturbing a squirrel nest that contained very young squirrels. The job was completed a couple of months later. A security light by the front door was replaced as well. The work was completed in very good time, a couple of minor complications being overcome without problem. This was the first job that Resistance Electrical had done for us, it is very probable that they will be our first choice for any future work.
Excellent service! Edvin is a very competent electrician. He provides great customer service and works efficiently!
Absolutely delighted with the service from these guys. Put in a request on Sunday and it was sorted before 12 on Monday! The guy was really nice and friendly and did a bang up job fixing my awful attempt at fixing a light switch in the bathroom. Very reasonable pricing too, would definitely use again and will be recommending to others!
5 stars for Edvin. Top job. Electric hob installation. He made everything seem easy. I would definitely recommend Resistance and will be using them again soon.
Edvin was great and the work was really well done, I highly recommend!
Ollie was an excellent electrician and really friendly and hard working - thank you!
Tom came and had a look at our solar system. He was great, resolved a couple of issues for us and arranged follow up with the solar hardware company. I’d highly recommend him!
Edvin and team were brilliant on a rewire job for our house. From start to finish they were really helpful and professional, offering guidance and options for areas that we weren't sure how to tackle. Communication was great, Edvin was always really quick to get back to us and provided all the information we needed at each point of the process. Job was done on time and to a great standard. Very happy with Resistance, would highly recommend!
Great blokes to work with. Smart and efficient.
Excellent job on our solar panels. Lovely crew.
Tom from Resistance electrical has installed an additional Givenergy battery to our current Solar system. He also checked our current Solar array and was also available at short notice to deal with a commissioning issue with our inverter, this involved his time on the phone as well as another trip back to reset the inverter as advised by Givenergy support. Thank you Tom.
Great experience with Resistance Electrical. Tom was quick to respond and quote, and was very fairly priced. He had the job booked in for 2 weeks later. We were lucky to have Ollie working on our house for two days. He was great - super polite, neat work and always went over and above on the tidying up. It was genuinely a pleasure to have him around. Like many others it seems I’m sure we’ll have Tom’s team back for future work. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
The team at Resistance Electrical not only did a great job of rewiring our house in Brighton, they have since installed new light fittings and wired in an oven. All of their work was done with care and respect for our home, and we have been recommending them to neighbours and friends ever since.
Tom, Edvin and Mark did a great job of installing solar panels and battery storage on my house in Brighton last May. They were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I'm so happy with the results! Since installation the panels have produced 1600kwh of electricity and my bill has gone down loads! I would highly recommend them if you're thinking of getting solar.
Helpf, efficient and professional. Installed a battery system to ensure uniterupted power supply during the frequent National Grid outages. Great solution and very neat and tidy. Strongly recommended. Thanks Tom!
The electrics in our house were creatively not right in many different ways. Tom, Ed & Ollie made them safe and elegant, and did it quickly. I was impressed that they listened to what I wanted, and made sure to do exactly that. Very happy.
Happy with the communication and the completed work. Costs were very competitive compared to other companies.
Really excellent friendly service. A pretty simple job (replacing an external light) but done with care, attention and consideration. Would highly recommend and will be using again.
A fantastic service provided by Tom, Ed and Ollie! Our old Victorian flat proved somewhat frustrating / challenging at times so tasks may have taken longer than anticipated, but the team were brilliant at just cracking on and getting it done. Such a friendly and trustworthy team - thanks for all your help.
Had a new fuse board, electrical safety and some other alterations. Really nice people at Resistance Electrical and I can highly recommend them. Clean, no fuss, reliable, good quality and hard working. Thank you!
After some mixed experiences with other highly rated Electricians in Brighton, Tom and his crewe at Resistance did our little light switching job quickly and for a reasonable price. Very pleased, will use them again and highly recommended
These guys are great - even at tricky jobs - had to fit 2 lights to REALLY high ceilings and they made it seem easy… and great value! Would recommend fully 👍
Tom and the team did a full rewire on a property we bought and were fantastic. Communication was excellent and they were nice to have around - always polite and friendly. Tom also gave some really useful advise and negotiated very diplomatically with other trades - not always easy on a big project. Really pleased with the final result and would not hesitate to ask Tom for future jobs.
Edvin at Resistance Electrical was brilliant, I would highly recommend and will definitely use again :) Thank you!
Tom and the team were great, very accommodating and the work & price were excellent too.
Helpful, responsive and great communication - I would highly recommend these guys!
Really pleased with full rewiring work on my flat. Great communication. Highly recommend!
Edvin came to check the installation on our house after purchase and did a thorough check. He took the time to explain the issues and even dealt with UK Power Network to fix an issue that was before the meter, making sure they came right away so he could check the fix with them directly. I've just moved to the area and I'm happy that I've found an electrician I can trust!
Resistance provided a first class service - rapid phone back with accurate quote, could come within 48 hours, were prompt and efficient and very professional and friendly, a good job done well. Highly recommend and would use again in future.
Excellent service, highly recommend. He is my go to electrician. Courteous, always arrives promptly and get the work done quickly. Many thanks Frank.
Tom was knowledgeable, polite, got a medium sized job done efficiently and effectively. Definitely recommend.
Thanks Tom and Ed. Great speedy, friendly service, at a very good rate.
Amazing service fixing two very special lamps for me and giving them new life (and switches). Very grateful that they were able do both collect and deliver them back to my house also. Top service and will use again!
Really pleased with the service. They've done an EICR for a property we are buying and also gave us a quote for the work that needs to be done. Unfortunately, the seller didn't agree on a lower price, but at least we know once we move into the new place to call Tom and get him to do all of the work he quoted us for. Very professional, they even told us how the old installation was done to a good standard. Good communication too! Thank you Tom and Tasha!
Good communication (largely textual which I appreciated), arrived on time and did what I needed (disconnection and removal of old applicance, connection of new one). Thank you!
Great team; pleasant, professional, and tidy. Would recommend.
A very competent team of electricians who are not shutting away from any challenging jobs. Thank you!
Resistance Electrical were recommended to us by a friend. Tom and Harry did a brilliant job of re-wiring our new flat, and were very patient with our lack of knowledge on all things electrics. They were a pleasure to communicate with from start to finish, and they got the job done quickly and at a reasonable price! We'll be returning customers for sure.
Resistance Electrical are a great choice for any electrical work you need doing. Tom and the team have been working on my house for years with various jobs and I would always have them back. Latest work was lighting and mirror for my en-suite and plinth lighting for my lounge. Beautiful job, lighting makes a massive difference. Reasonable pricing and reliable workmen! Which is hard to find.
Resistance Electrical reacted on the same day when we had some urgent work to do. One of our socket circuits would not reset and Ed diagnosed the problem quickly and resolved it within 90 minutes in total. We were really pleased with the service
One of the best companies I have contracted. All work has been done as I asked. No delays. Very accurate and responsive. Highly recommended.
Resistance Electrical are 10/10! We installed new sockets, pendant, fire alarm, and changed numerous faceplates. It was a real pleasure dealing with Tom right from the start. He’s helpful, knowledgeable and easygoing. Very customer service oriented. Harry and Ollie on the day were great - polite, tidy and did an excellent job. This is a great company to deal with, professional and everything was totally stress free. I would recommend them highly.
Tom conducted a full wiring review of our place, then got to work rectifying issues, making updates to the electrical layout as requested. Consumer unit upgrade completed, and came to me with a creative solution to another challenge we came up with! A++, will absolutely be hiring again.
Great service and great work! Thanks.
I just booked Tom and Harry. for the third or fourth time. They are great communicators, excellent at their jobs, punctual, tidy, and all round good guys. Strongly recommend.
Highly efficient, thorough and professional, very quick to fully understand what was wanted, fairly priced, managed a complete rewire with no delay and minimal disruption, going above and beyond normal standards – and a very nice person as well! What more could you possibly want? Thank you Tom.
Tom and his crew did a great job with our full rewire! Prompt, professional, made sure we were happy with everything and dealt with complications as they came up! Would definitely recommend.
Tom was very friendly and knowledgeable. Reliable and a good communicator.
Tom gave a competitive quote for the work I needed doing (compared with 3 other local electricians), and gave me really useful advice for moving my electricity meter to make it more accessible, which only the meter engiener could actaully do. Once I had the meter moved, Tom's colleague Edwin returned to do the work, which involved installing a new consumer board, moving the main isolator switch, and installing a new induction hob. All the work was done really neatly, on time, and Edwin answered all my questions so I understood the new setup. Swept and tied up afterwards too. Really friendly, professional service. Happy to have found a relliable local electrician that I can use again, and would definitely recommend them.
Edvin, from Resistance Electrical was friendly, professional, and explained the problems with my wiring to me in a very digestible way. They were on time, courteous, provided prompt quotes & invoices & were quick to book an electrician in. Very good experience with a great firm. I’ll definitely be using these guys again!
Really easy correspondence with Tom, and great job done by Ed. First electrician we've found who I feel confidence in! Just a small job done for us but Ed seemed super knowledgeable and we highly recommend them.
We had a full rewire and a few lights fitted. The house hadn't been updated in many years and was very out of date. We contacted Resistance Electrical and they got back to us promptly and were very friendly. We dealt with Tom and he was very professional throughout. We explained the works we wanted and had data cables fitted alongside the rewire. Really pleased with the result and we will definitely use this company again.
Resistance were great - they quoted quickly, provided breakdowns of each item and came when agreed. Their tradesperson was really nice and tidy and communicated well with us. Recommended!
I called upon Resistance Electrical initially to test the electrics when I moved in to my new place, and since got them to replace the consumer unit and replace some light fittings. Ed was lovely, professional, timely, knowledgeable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Resistance Electrical to anyone for all your electrical needs.
Fitted light fixture. Very happy with the work done, Ed did a great job and very polite and considerate (eg. I didn’t ask or make any requests, but he was wearing a mask and took shoes off straight away). Tom is very responsive and straightforward when I got in contact, and I’ll be using his team again for other jobs. Can recommend.
We needed a reliable electrician to do a variety of different jobs and were so happy to find these guys. I can't speak highly enough of the quality of the work, the level of communication and the 'absolutely can-do' attitude. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom and his team!
I highly recommend Tom and team - just brilliant! Tom is really professional and reliable, keeping in contact when promised, handling any unexpected complications (we needed his help speaking to the grid network company) and carrying the work to a high quality and super efficient. I'm so relieved we've found Resistance Electrical - and look forward to booking for our next projects!
Head & shoulders above other tradesmen I've dealt with. Tom got back to me promptly, without me having to chase him, and arrived when he said he would. Not only are they good at what they do, but (unlike others) they didn't destroy the house around their work. Sebastian put in the new sockets so neatly that no filler was needed around one, and only minimal filler around the other, & put the boards & carpet back. When the PIR sensor didn't work as intended, Tom happily came back another day to remedy the situation. Dealing with them was a pleasure, I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
Very professional, good communication, tidy and all round good quality workmanship. Would definitely use again
Great experience. Tom goes out of his way to keep in contact and even when he's very busy he kept me informed and tried to fit to a schedule that worked for me.
Excellent company - efficient, friendly, great attention to detail, very pleased.
Tom & the team provided a brilliant service at a fantastic price. They performed electrical safety tests (EICR) on our flat, advising us on any remedial works which needed doing to get the place up to safety standard. They also provided us with a very reasonable quote for the repairs which we've accepted and they'll be performing soon!
Tom & the team were brilliant from start to finish. Really responsive, gave great advice and were really friendly and professional. We had a mix of vintage light fittings we hadn't used for 15 years, and new lights we wanted to install. They were recommended by a friend, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Great service, they arrived on time and carried out the job quickly and efficiently. Much appreciated and will go to Tom for future work. Thanks again
Tom spent hours investigating a recurring problem that we had, that had stumped several other electricians. He found the issue and has put it right. He was punctual and professional.
Great service with Tom. Easy to arrange via text and had a quote free of charge. Chose his team to do the work, flexible and efficient. Very polite, even took his shoes off. Would use again next
Tom was very helpful, making time for an urgent appointment. Very reasonably priced and great work.
New Bathroom and corridor lights. I couldn't recommend Tom and the lads more highly. They are friendly without being obtrusive, punctual, tidy and honest and the work was to the uttermost standards of professionalism. They even tidied up some of the legacy bodges free of charge. Will definitely be using again. Cool logo too.
Tom came and fitted some outdoor electrics for our spa pool. Very happy with the work he carried out and the rate he charged. Will be using him again in the future.
Tom is very friendly and completely reliable. He does what work is only necessary at a reasonable rate. I would definitely use Resistance Electrical again.
It was a pleasure having Tom round to do various jobs around the house, including installing a spotlight and installing some new sockets. The work was carried out quickly and efficiently, and communication was great throughout, he even corrected some previous wiring which was wrong for free. Highly recommended, I will be using his services again next year for a bigger job.
Tom is reliable, polite & has done a really good job fitting extra light fittings, sockets & changing a fuse board in my home. He has been good at communicating, turns up on time, cleans up before he leaves & is a pleasure to have around. I think his prices are reasonable compared to some other quotes I got & he has stuck to his price even though complications have come up. Have already recommended him to a few people!
