Your Local Electricians

York is one of the most historically significant cities in England, and electrical work here demands more care and specialist knowledge than in most places. Much of the city centre and many surrounding villages fall within conservation areas, where installations must be planned to minimise visual impact on protected streetscapes and buildings.

JT Electrical's team is experienced working in period properties — from Georgian townhouses in the city centre to Victorian semis in Acomb and Clifton, and newer estates in Haxby, Huntington and Poppleton. Whether the job requires careful routing of cables through solid stone walls or a straightforward EV charger fit on a new build in Copmanthorpe, we approach every job with the same care and full certification.

We cover all YO postcodes including Bishopthorpe, Acomb, Clifton, Haxby, Strensall, Poppleton, Copmanthorpe, Huntington, and Fulford.

What We Offer

Domestic Electrical

Consumer unit upgrades, rewires, EICR testing, sockets and lighting for homes across York. We're experienced with both period properties requiring sensitive installation and modern estates needing straightforward additions.

Solar PV & Batteries

MCS certified solar panel and battery storage installations across the York area. Conservation area and listed building rules can restrict solar placement — we advise you on what's permitted and design systems accordingly. Free surveys included.

EV Charger Installation

Home electric vehicle charge points fitted across York. OZEV authorised and fully certified. For terraced properties without off-street parking in areas like Fulford or Bishopthorpe, we advise on the best compliant solution.

EICR Testing

Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords and homeowners in York. York's large student and tourism-driven rental market means EICR compliance is a common and important requirement. Certificates issued on the day.

Commercial Electrical

Electrical fit-outs, LED lighting, fire alarm systems and fixed wire testing for York businesses. We hold CHAS and SafeContractor accreditations and work across offices, hospitality venues and retail premises.

Period Property Rewiring

Rewiring historic and period homes in York requires careful planning — from navigating solid stone and brick construction to protecting original features. We survey thoroughly and price accurately before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the specifics. Solar panels on a listed building in York require Listed Building Consent from City of York Council — permitted development rights do not apply. In conservation areas, solar may be permitted under permitted development as long as the panels are not visible from a public highway, but this too has conditions. JT Electrical is MCS certified and experienced in advising York homeowners on what is and isn't permitted. We can design a system that meets planning requirements, and recommend you confirm requirements with City of York Council before proceeding. We carry out free site surveys to assess your options.

Electrician rates in York are generally in line with wider Yorkshire pricing. Small jobs such as adding sockets start from around £80–£100. A consumer unit upgrade typically costs £400–£650. For period properties in York — particularly those with solid stone walls or original plaster — cable routing takes more time, which may affect the price of a full rewire or new circuits. We always provide a fixed-price quote before starting any work. Call 07535 444113 or email info@jt-electrical.uk for a free estimate.

JT Electrical is an OZEV authorised installer and can handle the full process from survey to installation and certification. For most York homes with off-street parking — including properties in Haxby, Strensall, Poppleton and Copmanthorpe — a home charger installation is straightforward and completed in around half a day. For older terraced properties without a driveway, we can advise on alternative options. The OZEV grant offers up to £350 off eligible installations, and we handle the application as part of the job.

Yes. All private landlords in England are legally required to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for each rental property, renewed every five years. York has a significant rental market driven by both the university and tourism sector — including a large number of short-term lets and HMOs — many of which require EICR compliance. JT Electrical carries out EICR inspections across all YO postcodes and issues the certificate on the day. Contact us on 07535 444113 to arrange an inspection.
