Safe isolation without an overcomplicated visit
Dedicated specialist work
We provide a focused service that relatively few local contractors carry out.
Supply arrangement checked
We assess the incoming equipment before deciding how the switch is fitted.
Operation confirmed
We check the installed isolator so it's ready for the intended electrical work.
Create a safe point for isolating the home supply
A main isolator switch allows the domestic electrical installation to be separated safely from the incoming supply. It may be requested before consumer unit work, metering activity, energy upgrades or another alteration that needs reliable whole-property isolation. We assess the existing supply arrangement and the space around the incoming equipment before fitting the switch in the correct position. This is a specialist service for Airdrie households and requires the right electrical competence because of where the work takes place.
A focused installation with a clear price
We check the supply arrangement, install the isolator and confirm that it operates correctly. A typical domestic main isolator installation costs £150 and takes about one hour, although the existing equipment and access must first be suitable for the planned work. Once fitted, the switch provides a dedicated means of isolation for later electrical tasks. It isn't an everyday light switch with a more important label, so installation and checks need to be completed properly.
Frequently asked questions
Why might we need a main isolator switch?
An isolator may be needed before consumer unit work, metering activity, energy equipment or other alterations. It provides a clear way to isolate the domestic installation from the incoming supply when later electrical work is carried out.
Where is the isolator installed?
We fit it in relation to the incoming domestic supply and existing electrical equipment. The exact position depends on the supply arrangement, available space and access. We assess those points before starting the installation.
How long does main isolator installation take?
A typical installation takes about one hour and costs £150. We still need to check that the existing supply equipment and access suit the work. If the arrangement presents something unusual, we explain the position before proceeding.
