HALIFAX ELECTRICIAN
Thursday 17th October 2024
Hi, welcome to my home grown website!
Kane Electrical is now 11 years old and i have now been an electrician 36 years!
When establishing KANE ELECTRICAL i wanted to provide a reliable and friendly, proudly local service to Halifax, Calderdale and surrounding areas.
Having started a JIB electricians apprenticeship in 1988 for an NIC-EIC registered firm, becoming fully qualified in 1993 and approved rated in 1995 i have 34 years of experience of being an electrician and seen all the changes that have come and gone in all those years as well as all the things that remain a constant throughout (safety is safety and must always come first).
I have years of experience in every kind of electrical installation, be it a domestic setting, a commercial or industrial environment to have a full understanding of electrical, safety and functional needs whatever your demands and all to the very latest in developments in technology as well as amendments to the IEE Regulations as and when they are updated.
Kane Electrical has been a member of both NAPIT and COMPETENT PERSONS REGISTER for years.
No added VAT to pay
As a sole trading electrician my annual gross falls below the gov threshold of having to charge my customers VAT for my work or materials supplied.
So it's good to go local, especially when it's a one man band.
Free Quotes
I offer a free quote here on the full scope of domestic electrical installations and electrician's services so don't be shy, get in touch. I also offer an emergency 24 hour call out service for those times when you need an electrician for quick restoration of power and safety or simply peace of mind is needed right away.
As so much of an electrician's work comes from personal recommendation, customer service is very important and i strive to maintain a friendly, conscientious and clean service every job, every day. I provide all aspects of electrical services, whether it's a new installation, a rewire, burglar alarm, CCTV, PAT Testing, an electrical test and inspection, fault finding or maintenance and repairs. If it's an electrician's job, i do it.

Carbon Monoxide detectors
Do you need a Carbon Monoxide detector? Well, the only way to detect CO2 is with a working CO2 alarm.
Building regulations in england state that if you have a solid fuel combustion appliance or storage system Carbon Monoxide alarms are mandatory. This doesn’t yet extend to gas appliances although in Scotland and Northern Ireland this is the case already.
So if you have a wood burning stove or fire etc, yes you do need one, but what you aren’t required to do, and this applies to landlords too, is have a mains powered one (unlike your kitchens heat detector or your smoke alarms elsewhere in your home which must now be mains operated when it’s time to replace an existing or fit a new one). The way things are, a battery operated Carbon Monoxide alarm is perfectly adequate for your home, which means as long as you are able to fix one to the ceiling yourself, there’s no need to get in an electrician for the job.

Phone Quotes
Occasionally i get someone who just would like me to quote over the phone and i understand this but sometimes a job may appear much simpler to a layman than it actually is. Not always, often it is exactly what it seems, but sometimes.
I much prefer to take a quick look at the prospected work. I don't charge for this visit and there's absolutely no obligation either but it allows me to ensure the quote is as accurate as possible.
